Are You Applying Independently to U.S. Universities?
Thursday, February 11th, 2010So far, we’ve received nearly 300 applications on myUface, and we’re working to connect all of these students to universities in the U.S.
We believe we’ll be successful with many of our candidates. Others don’t have applications that are complete enough for universities to truly consider. You may be wondering, How can I improve my chances of getting into a U.S. university?
Two things:
- Make sure your myUface application is complete. More tomorrow on what “complete” means.
- Don’t only apply to universities through myUface. Increase your chances of getting into a U.S. program by applying independently to universities as well.
Some sites want you to maintain an exclusive relationship with them and them alone. Here, our priorities are different: we want you to get into a U.S. university, no matter if you do that through us or on your own.
By applying independently to a few U.S. universities, you give yourself a good chance of being accepted directly to a program. If you also apply through myUface, you’ve ensured that you have several chances for universities to notice you.
Applying to myUface alone is a great step, but we encourage all of you to pursue university applications independently as well.
