Plan things in advance.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Born and raised in a household where education is an important pillar of one&#8217;s personality, Preethi knew she had to make it big in life. It is safe to say that Preethi&#8217;s love for learning goes back to her family&#8217;s roots. So when we asked her what inspired her to study abroad, her answer was &#8216;My family!&#8217; It is so good to hear from people how their families are a big support to their dreams. We were elated to hear how her parents and grandparents planned her path, keeping in mind her aspirations. And today, when she has finally got her visa to study abroad, she cannot wait to begin this new chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ischoolconnect-and-preethis-way-forward\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>iSchoolConnect and Preethi&#8217;s way forward<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Preethi always knew that she would move abroad for her studies. But when the time came, she was all over the place. While she was looking for different study abroad consultants to ease her application process, she couldn&#8217;t find one. Luckily, things started to seem bright as she got a mail from her college. That mail spoke about <a href=\"https:\/\/ischoolconnect.com\/en\/\">iSchoolConnect<\/a>, its services, and how it helps students move abroad for their studies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preethi did some research and read about our exclusive program for SRM university students. We were offering our services to the top 20 SRM students for free. Reading this, Preethi instantly applied for the program, and guess what? She was one of the top-ranking students who got into this program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>Preethi availed of our services for free, as promised, and began her application journey with our <a href=\"https:\/\/app.hubspot.com\/meetings\/swathi1\/speak-to-expert\">study abroad experts<\/a>. Our student success story series is a reminder that it is the sheer hard work that can take you places.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/ischoolconnect.com\/pages\/study-abroad-consultants-in-noida\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best Study Abroad Consultants in Noida<\/a><br><div style=\"width: 100%; height: 500px;\" data-tf-widget=\"mWMAR8Ae\" data-tf-iframe-props=\"title=Top 40 scholarships for studying abroad\" data-tf-medium=\"snippet\" data-tf-hidden=\"utm_source=ORGANIC_SEARCH,utm_medium=Blog,utm_campaign=student-success-story-preethi-muruganandam,hubspot_utk=xxxxx,hubspot_page_name=xxxxx,hubspot_page_url=xxxxx\">\u00a0<\/div><br><p><script><\/script><\/p><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><p>\u00a0<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UC Davis is a research university ranked among the best colleges in the world.
