Mistakes Some Students Make During Their Admission And Scholarship Application.

Nowadays prospective students pay little or no attention to details which can cost applicant his/her admission. Students make the mistakes of providing wrong details while filling their admission and scholarship application form. These mistakes are mostly due to not paying attention to information provided by the school. As little as a mistake is, it can cause one outright rejection. Today I will be writing about the most common mistakes applicants make that can cost them their admission.

Providing Wrong/Incorrect E-mail Address
E-mail is the communication you have with your school admission officer. Once e-mail address is wrong all communication with the school is cut. Some students noticed that when they have submitted their application online they don't get feedback from the institution they applied to. This is the implication of providing incorrect e-mail address. E-mail address should be professional looking. I laugh when I see address such as sexycynthia@gmail.com or bradfordbadboy@yahoo.com, all these make you look unserious in the eye of admission officer. Prospective students should endeavour to use their full name as their e-mail address to make it official and professional like. Provide hyphen and other punctuation marks where necessary, and avoid any form of mistakes. Crosscheck on that e-mail address before clicking that SUBMIT button.


Forgetting Deadlines
Some students make the mistake of mixing up deadlines. Deadline for admission and scholarship differ sometimes, even some departments have their own deadline. Therefore, be sure to check on your school to know the application deadline.


Not Following Guidelines
Someone mailed me some time ago that he wasn't offered a study place in the university he applied to despite following all the admission procedure. I told him to mail me all his information and also the university's details. After I went through all the information he provided, I found where he went wrong. Guess what? The university requires a minimum score of 6.5 (IELTS) but some departments require above that. He had a score of 6.5 but the programme he applied to requires an overall band of 7.0, Boom! The university denied him the admission. He would have been saved from the issue if he had followed a simple guideline. Be sure to check what your school require, is it IELTS or TOEFL, SAT or ACT, GRE or GMAT, all these are what you should check out before applying to that school.

I hope this is helpful to all prospective candidates.
