Choosing A Counselor

Most students fail to understand that the best counselor is not the most popular counselor. Just because a counselor is famous does not mean he should be your first choice. Every counselor is a specialist in a particular department. For example, 2 counselors can be equally famous but 1 must be a specialist in Science courses and the other in Commerce.When you search for a counselor atleast meet 3 counselors and then accept which ever counselor you like. There are some counselors who are very good in MBA but still counsel students for science courses. Please do not go to such counselors. Do a proper research of which course you want to do, how much the counselor is helping and the main part, how much he is charging.Instead of counselors you can also contact some agents you are affiliated to universities abroad. They will help you submit your applications to the university for free. They are very useful but only help you with respect to the universities they are affiliated to. These agents get a commission for every students who accepts admission via them. They also have a consortium (quota) of their own so there are more chances of getting admissions that way.

One of the most renowned places where students apply via agents is UK.There are some counselors themselves who have a contact in getting students to a particular university. But remember, good universities don’t require people to represent them via counselors.Counselors are sometimes not even required if you have a sibling or a friend who is willing to guide you with everything. You just need a little guidance, most counselors do only that, they only guide you. What you can do is ask your seniors, relatives or search the web for the prospects of the course you like and the university you prefer. You can also borrow their documents for guidance and prepare your own. But please be careful about plagiarism. Please do not copy thing word-2-word. The universities abroad scan the documents and use software’s to see if they are original or copied.There are some counselors who help you entirely from A-Z from choosing a college to getting your visa done. Its choice if you want such counselors. Its better if you don’t go to such counselors because your entirely at their mercy. You will not have a clear picture of whats happening and will always be nervous.To end, please choose your counselor according to the subject he is a specialist in and not how famous he is. Also please check the review of his previous clients.All best with your selection!!!
