Test. Will you be able to go to your dream university abroad?
What is your grade point average?
Up to a B grade
Unfortunately, your GPA (Grade Point Average) is unlikely to be suitable for admission to one of the best universities on the planet. However, you can balance it out with a distinctive personal brand and impressive achievements!
Up to an A grade
Congratulations - your chances of going to university abroad are rising in front of your eyes! Complement your high GPA with an unusual achievement, and you already have the offer of a dream university.
Have you participated in any student research conferences? Have you published your articles in scientific publications?
No, I did not
That’s a pity. Participation in conferences and the publication of articles would have highlighted your profile as a candidate for an international programme and scholarship.
Yes, I have that experience
Great! A research conference certificate or the publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal can set you apart from other Fellowship applicants.
Do you have any additional achievements (e.g. volunteer diplomas and certificates from university)?
No / I have a couple
If you are still at university, try to “get” achievements. Organising events, participating in job fairs, helping professors in the department - any activity will do.
Yes, of course, quite a lot
Way to go! You are getting closer and closer to going to a foreign university.
Do you know a foreign language?
Not that well
It seems to make sense to improve it. Without a certificate of proficiency in English (or any other foreign language required), you will definitely not be able to enter a foreign university.
Yes, English, and I plan to study another one
Hopefully, you are already preparing for the international exams that will confirm your knowledge!
Do you have a solid personal brand?
Personal what? How will it help me in admission?
A personal brand is a collection of qualities of a successful programme and scholarship candidate. It combines your grades, achievements, career and research plans. It is what will make you the student of your dreams at the university.
Yes, I’m improving it
Pack your bags - we’re sure that very soon you’ll receive a “lucky letter” from a university you couldn’t have dreamt of.
