There are several considerations International Applicants should keep in mind when applying to universities overseas.

1. Do check and double check application deadlines
   This seems like a simple rule, but deadlines are missed all the time. Check dates carefully. They vary from college to college. The deadlines at a particular school may also be different for international and local students.
2. Do check international student requirements
   Colleges frequently have different and/or additional requirements for international students. These requirements can include documentation such as demonstration of English proficiency, financial statements and visa documents. Check the requirements carefully. Most universities have a special webpage dedicated to international students – review this periodically.
3. Do start preparing documents on time.
   Most likely you will be required to submit one or two recommendation letters. Do not wait until the last minute to ask your teachers to write this letter. Writing a good one takes some time. The same is true for writing your own essay. Start the process early so that you will have time to review and revise your essay.
