Things to do before preparing a study abroad application

Students can participate in seminars, choose a support consulting unit, learn more about many scholarship opportunities... before deciding to study abroad.

Every year, summer is the period when organizations and businesses regularly organize study abroad seminars across the country, especially in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. These events are attended by many university representatives.

Here parents and students can consult, receive advice, compare countries, information about schools, courses ..., from there, make decisions about when and where to study abroad. Therefore, students should start attending seminars from their high school year to allow enough time to prepare.

In many study abroad seminars, the organizers often have many years of working with universities and colleges around the world, and at the same time, have experience in consulting and supporting thousands of young people to plan to study abroad. Therefore, consultants can assist participants in choosing a major, financial planning, destination, place to live, study, visa application...

Once the destination has been selected, students can also communicate directly with school representatives through these events. At this time, young people should ask many questions to gain information, understand more about the school and make the best decision for themselves.

Besides information from the event, students should actively explore scholarship opportunities. This also helps you prepare important questions and documents needed to participate in the consultation more effectively. If you bring transcripts and foreign language qualifications, the school representative will help the candidate review the application at the counseling event. At study abroad seminars, participants can also apply to the consulting unit after researching and choosing schools and majors.
