  • To choose the right programs and specializations for you
  • To choose recommenders and get effective letters of recommendation

FAQ

Applications FAQ

It’s the way for the Admissions Committee (AdCom) at each university to learn more about you (the applicant) beyond what grades you got and what sort of professional experience you have. It is also a key component of your application package and plays a significant role in getting accepted into the program.

The AdCom would like to read things that showcase your qualifications, your ability to be an active contributor to the program, and your potential to succeed in your professional life.

✓ Show GPA of last two years
✓ Show GPA of specialization/concentration courses

Those that try to guess what the AdCom wants to hear end up sounding like a prepackaged, dry speech. You are unique, so write about your unique self and your own ideas and dreams. Universities often stress that they evaluate candidates on the basis of “being a good fit” to the program.

We maintain an extensive database of former students or ours that have studied or are currently studying in many of the better-known universities in the world. It is possible to bring you in contact with a selected few to get some insider’s information.

Absolutely! Universities rely on their graduates to maintain their reputation and position in the rankings. They are definitely interested I candidates that show ambition and the promise to succeed. They also want to see that your decision to get your Master’s (or PhD) degree with them was a conscious one, deliberately made to serve a higher purpose, i.e. your professional success.

In practical terms, it is semantics. Most commonly, universities and employers may use these two terms interchangeably. Americans prefer the term “Resume”, Europeans the term “CV”, and the rest of the world may adopt either.

We offer a variety of packages, tailored to each candidate’s particular needs. We believe that we offer top quality consulting and editing, at competitive prices. Contact us for details.

✓MBA candidates with 2 or more years of experience should focus on professional rather than academic achievements
✓Score high on the GRE/GMAT
✓Take business/extra courses or do a minor at an English-speaking institution (e.g., Deree College)
✓Obtain strong recommendation letters

Your CV answers most of that. What you must do is give specific, personal examples of your most significant experiences, in such manner as to highlight your key abilities. For example, instead of simply saying that you have strong communication skills, organizational abilities, and leadership potential, describe a project in which you assumed the lead, organized and delegated the tasks, and managed to reach a successful outcome.

The past is often a good indicator of the future. Write about how you participated in such and such projects, in and out of class, your experiences at work (hopefully you have some), and any other social, charity, cultural, and civic involvement/activities you have been a part of. It is important to mention your future involvement in Clubs and other activities at the university.

Search, read, and study information on the program(s) of your choice. Talk to friends, professors, alumni, or current students in that particular program. Learn about the philosophy of the school, the daily routine of being a student, the good and the not-so-good things about the program. You need to make an honest evaluation of who you are and what you want, in order to see if you make a good fit to the university.

At our center, we have the experience, knowledge, and techniques to sit with you and counsel you on how to build the main infrastructure of your statements/essays. We guide you how to include some useful personal information and how to present yourself in the best light. Finally, we are experts at helping you prepare the final draft in a language that is professional, engaging, and interesting to the reader.

The soonest possible! It is never too early to start. The process of writing a good statement requires some introspection, thinking carefully about your future, and a seamless transition from undergraduate to post-graduate to professional future. It may require repeated attempts at writing, correcting, and polishing your essays before you reach your final draft.

We have a combined experience of over 30 years in counseling and coaching candidates how to write strong essays. We are also experts at providing the necessary editing to make your essays stand out, in form and in content. Finally, we continuously keep up with the latest developments and changes in requirements of the top universities abroad and we can advise you accordingly.
