    • RE: Mistake in SOP

      @ella One small typo won't cause you too much of a problem especially if most of your SOP is well-written. Most people ignore the typo and assume that it's a genuine mistake. But if there are more than one or two mistakes in your Statement of Purpose, then it shows your carelessness. So make sure you get your SOP proofread either by online tools and that you don't make the same mistakes again.

      The admission process is very overwhelming while applying to your dream university. Reach out to our counselors at Email- info@ischoolconnect.com or Phone - +91 9833333983 for any kind of help.

    • RE: GMAT score evaluation

      @ella By all indications, your GMAT score is amazing, in my opinion. If you nail your interviews, you might undoubtedly enroll in one of the best universities for an MBA. Applying to MIT Sloan, London Business School, INSEAD, Wharton School, Kellogg School of Business, etc., as well as other prestigious MBA schools is highly recommended. You might potentially apply for scholarships at many of the top MBA schools in the world with a score of 750+.

      @Anamika-Reddy

      Hey Anamika,

      The IELTS Speaking segment is the fourth and final part of the IELTS exam. The Speaking test is a dialogue between you, the test-taker, and an examiner between 11 and 14 minutes. Here are a few ways to improve your IELTS speaking score-

      1. Choose a reliable study partner
      2. Your knowledge is not being evaluated
      3. Use fancy vocabulary without fear
      4. Avoid monotonous tone
      5. Present with a confident attitude
      6. Set a reasonable pace

    • RE: Student loan myths

      @Robert-Ferrero

      Hey Robert,

      While student loans are a viable option for many students, several myths and misconceptions can make it difficult to make informed decisions about funding your education. Here are 9 common student loan myths-

      1. You will never be able to pay off your loan
      2. You should borrow as much as you can
      3. You should always go for a student loan with low-interest rates
      4. You will not get a loan if you do not have collateral or a good academic record
      5. It is wiser to use personal savings rather than taking a student loan
      6. There is no need to worry about the repayment of loans till you graduate
      7. Income-driven loan repayment plans lower your debt repayment costs
      8. The loan interest rates may keep fluctuating
      9. You need to completely follow the advice of a loan service provider

    • RE: Work study in the USA

      @Prateek-Patra There are two different types of jobs you can apply for when studying abroad. They are:

      • Off-Campus Jobs

Off-campus jobs generally consist of jobs such as receptionist, waiter, etc. At the same time, examples of On-Campus jobs could be Library Monitor, Teaching Assistant, etc. Most universities even allow students to work off-campus when the college is not in session. Several blogs tell you super helpful stuff about part-time jobs for international students.
