“Only a fool learns from his own mistakes. The wise man learns from the mistakes of others.”

Applying for study abroad isn’t rocket science, and you can do it alone. However, thousands of students attempt to go it alone each year, only to encounter these common problems:

Self-(Un)Selection Bias:

• “My profile isn’t strong enough for a top-50 university, so I’ll only apply to universities ranked beyond 100th or 150th.”

Misleading and Information Overload:

• “My friends say it’s better to avoid mentioning my illness that caused my 3rd-year backlogs in my SOP.”
• “One Google search result says the deadline is December 15th; another says December 20th.”

Misunderstanding University Requirements:

• “Did I correctly complete German institutions’ ATS and VPN applications?“
• “What’s the difference between GRE-optional and GRE-blind universities?”

Stress and Anxiety:

• “What if my visa gets rejected?”
• “Three of my friends received XYZ admits, but I haven’t heard back after 36 days.“
• “My GRE is next week, and I’m not prepared yet.”

Missed Opportunities:

• “I didn’t know I was eligible for a scholarship at this university.“
• “My university requires a GRE score, and I haven’t taken it.”

Inability to Showcase Achievements:

• “I don’t have anything interesting to showcase in my SOP.“
• “How do I fit all my achievements into a 2-page resume?”

The problem is that you often need to realize these issues sooner. Counsellors have guided hundreds of students, and the VisaRoute Premium platform collectively benefits from the experience of tens of thousands of students. Learn from their mistakes rather than making your own. This process is too crucial to make mistakes and then learn from them.

Some of the most important benefits of availing of a counseling service:

Strategy: Getting into top universities requires a well-planned strategy, which only an experienced counsellor can formulate.

Coach: Just getting a gym membership won’t make you fit; a trainer who ensures you work out well. Similarly, a counsellor is your coach who will ensure you work towards that coveted admission.

Save Money During Applications: Save thousands of rupees by avoiding applications to unsuitable universities, preventing visa rejections, and not having to retake tests multiple times.

Save Money on Your Education: Save lakhs of rupees in course fees by significantly improving your chances of getting a scholarship and securing better interest rates on education loans.

Save Time: By outsourcing some of your work to a counsellor, you save time. More importantly, securing the right admits and avoiding visa rejections can prevent wasting an entire semester or even a year.

Cheerleader: This journey can be an emotional rollercoaster. Counsellors will always be there to support you, listen to you, motivate you, and soothe your anxieties.

Remember, there are no extra points for playing life on hard mode. Counsellors provide an easier path. Could you take it? Your goal is not to learn and do the process yourself but to get into a good university and study.
