On getting an admit

Once admitted, one has to agree that one wants to take a place in the university and than wait for the visa letter/i20.
Some universities will not contact you may be upto two months after application. If you are not contacted even after two months it could mean your application was unsuccessful. Ouch! unsuccessful applications hurt but do not stress too much on that just choose from the rest of your admits.

Choosing your university:

• Are you really interested in the course?
• Have you contacted the course administrator/convener?
• Do you have confidence you can complete the course with in the given time?
  
• Which university is offering you a scholarship? Which universities' fee and cost of living in that area is the least?
• Safety of the area?
• How far is some one you can go visit during holidays from this university(not necessarily important but if you feel lonely you will have some one to go to! during the weekends)

Attending a visa interview:

Some countries ask you to attend an interview others do not.

While in an interview do not get nervous and answer properly( show them you are genuinely interested in your subject and speak clearly)
Do not even try things like "I am going because I have money"
The visa interviewer has nothing against you! So reason properly!
