I know it is a little overwhelming to figure out what to do and when to do in the study abroad process. Here is a preparation timeline that you can consider to make things easier. 

 

1 year before applying:


* Plan  virtual tour of the universities you're applying to


* Start researching where you might like to study one year before you start applying to universities. Check out each school’s acceptance rates, location, tuition, campus activities, etc.


* Make a list of target, reach, and safety schools. Pick schools in all the categories, so you will have more options when acceptance letters come out.

 

9 months before applying

* Take the GMAT or GRE for the first time. This is a good time to assess your level and

identify areas of improvement for your next try.


* Take an English language exam (if required). Choose between the TOEFL and IELTS if you're applying from a non native English speaking country.


6 months before applying

colleges you are applying to
