Why is it important to not put a hold on your dreams of studying abroad?
The Outbreak has altered the path of every plan which you had for 2020. This is going to be even harder for students who want to study abroad.
But by no means, you should drop your dreams of getting your dream education. Universities have various other options on hand to ensure the best for you.
A survey states that more than 90% of the aspirants still stick to their plan of studying abroad even amidst the outbreak. This post would tell you why you should be one of them.
Do not jump into conclusions
The universities are trying their best to conduct on-campus classes. They sanitize the entire campus frequently.
If the government lifts the lockdown, there is still a chance for things to go back to normal without any delay.
Online classes
You can take classes for the subjects in your first semester and resume your on-campus classes once the situation gets resolved.
There are various unanswered questions regarding the number of credits you must take, CPT issues etc. But there is no denying that taking up an online semester will help you stay on your goal rather than quitting.
Defer admits to the next semester
Students can defer their admits to the next semester and continue on-campus classes. VISA embassies would have very few reasons to question you.
Deferring your admits to the next semester ensures that you get the most out of the money which you are paying.
GRE / GMAT application fee waivers
To make sure that you feel comfortable to apply, universities have waived-off several criteria. Some universities in the US do not ask for your GRE or GMAT Scores.
Although you might have to show your English proficiency by some other means. Tuition fee waivers is another blessing which new applicants shall enjoy.
Conclusion
Instead of completely quitting your dreams and looking for another career path, you must make peace with the options that are available.
Several universities in Australia have introduced scholarships, fee waivers, and more benefits to help you out. Make use of it and start your career today.
