Remember, international students: it’s YOUR responsibility to complete your applications!

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Over the course of my career working with international students, I have come across many incomplete applications.  Sometimes they are missing essays, sometimes they are missing test scores, sometimes they are missing basic biographical information.  The attitude of the student in these cases has generally been, “Well, it’s your responsibility to tell me what I’m missing and to help me assemble my application.”

Now, at myUface we actually enjoy helping students complete their applications, and are more than happy to do it.  However, I have to warn you, if you submit an incomplete application to a university your application will generally go straight to the trash heap.

I understand filling out an application is hard, and requires a lot of information.  But so is studying at a university!  In the minds of admissions officers, if you can’t complete an application, you probably can’t be counted on to complete other academic assignments.

So please, if you apply independently to universities, remember it is YOUR responsibility to complete the entirety of the application!
