Hey Rutuja,

These are great questions and I'll try and answer all your questions as systematically as possible. Both scholarships and university applications depend upon your overall profile. Factors such as your Statement of Purpose, Letters of recommendation, Certifications, Social work, etc. along with your scores, play a major role in your application.
Being an 'undecided major' allows you to enter your chosen college without declaring a major and thus, allows you to explore your interests. Your SOP is what sets your profile apart from the other applicants'. Therefore, it's a highly important aspect.
Since the IELTS exam is more widely accepted, you can definitely try taking it. However, it still largely depends upon the country you choose.

In order to make an exact analysis, we'd need your exam scores and other details. But depending upon the program and university you choose, as long as you have a solid profile overall you can definitely get into top universities. If you need help choosing the right program/university based on your scores and preferences, you can always contact us or register with us. Hope the answer helped!

Hey Pranay,
This is arguably one of the most important factors to keep in mind- how much money are you carrying? Set up a FOREX account and start loading the FOREX cards at least two weeks before your departure. Also, carry emergency money with you in the currency of the country you are going to.

@pranay_s

Hey Pranay,
There are various types of accommodation abroad for you to choose from. Some of these include solo accommodation, shared flats, or university dorms. Here's how to find one-

1. Do your research on the options
2. How much space do you take?
3. Choose the right location!
4. Check your wallet
5. Better safe than sorry
6. Use your contacts wisely
7. First impressions last
8. Look out for scams!
9. Go with the flow

@pranay_s

Hey Pranay,
Gird up and start searching all the information regarding your flight and its expenses at least 5-6 months before your flight is due in order to travel smart.

One of the most important travel tips for students is that it’s economical to book tickets on Tuesday or Wednesday. The best time to buy a cheap ticket is described to be around 3 to 5 O clock in the morning. Also, if your flight involves a transfer, such as Canada to LA, it is always wise to take these transfer flights separately to avoid accommodation problems and hours-long wait.

Hey Shivani,
‘Bonafide’ means ‘in good faith,’ which implies that something is ‘real,’ or ‘genuine.’ Hence, a bonafide certificate serves as a strong and valid proof of your identity at a university or a workplace.

An institution usually issues these certificates for students, stating their class, course, and the duration of their attendance. It is a necessary document when you apply to a college or for a new position at a workplace. You may even require this certificate when applying for an education loan and a visa.

@shivu3009

Hey Shivani,
A Letter of Recommendation (LOR) is a way for a university to evaluate your personality using a third person’s perspective.

1. A third-party opinion matters- An academic LOR would include your professors’ views about you. The way they talk about your abilities as a student is an essential factor for universities to consider. Similarly, a professional LOR would tell universities about your strengths and weaknesses in a professional capacity. Your employer’s views might help the university make the right decision about your admissions.
2. A document that validates your experience- A great LOR helps you validate your experience and skills. Not only this, the document can talk about your achievements in the professional and academic field, the projects you’ve worked on, and more. This is why you should do some research before choosing a recommender to write the LOR.

Hey Ryan! Following are the steps that you need to follow for writing a perfect SOP:
#1. Exposition Introduce yourself. Answer the questions who, where, and when in the grandest way possible.
#2. Break the routine; state your call! Mention the incident that ignited your decision to pursue an MBA.
#3. State your intent Share what you want from the MBA program at that university and why. The answer to these questions should be compelling, so make sure you do thorough research about the course and clearly understand your future career before starting.
#4. Throw in the challenges As you move towards the goal you are most passionate about, you’re sure to have faced hurdles.
#5. Mention them But also mention your mini victories – how you got through these difficult times and how they’ve made you grow as a person.
#6. Moment of truth Everyone comes across a point in life where they made a decision that changed their life. Share yours – what made you take that final leap?
#7. Conclusion String together all your dreams, challenges, and grounding moments with one place – the university. Express how your life is prepared you for it and why it’s so important to you.

Hey Devki!

MBBS in Canada is a 3-year full-time course, which is a 3-4 year MD (Doctor of Medicine) program. Even though it is an undergraduate program, overseas students must have a bachelor’s to secure admission to the MD program. In case a student with a non-science background wants to apply to medical schools, the course will take five years to complete. This is because students need to study for the first year to bridge the educational gap.
