Good academics

Well, I applied only for 6 universities, enlisting - University of Glasgow - Leeds University - University of Manchester - Kings college London - Bristol University - Durham University. I got rejection from Kings and Bristol because I applied for the fourth round( delayed submissions ) The very first acceptance was from Leeds, followed by Durham , then my Univeristy - University of Glasgow. I chose to take up University of Glasgow, as I had heard good things about its curriculum and also the friendly neighbourhood of Glasgow. (Ps- also a Harry Potter fan, it’s the Hogwarts of Scotland so little biased ) Once my Visa got processed, I got to hear back from Manchester that I got accepted so I had to leave that offer. So yes that’s how I got into my Masters journey. Decision factors : * Curriculum, Infrastructure, Alumni network, Glasgow as a friendly neighbourhood , the faculty. Admission process : Application , SOP submission with LORs, followed by acceptance letter, Deposit of admission fee and student accommodation, Visit the university for your ID Card and choosing the mode of payments if in installments or direct one time(based on each student).

I applied to 6 colleges. UCL University of Glasgow Heriot Watt University University of Leeds Loughborough University Cranfield University I got accepted at 4 universities. University of Glasgow University of Leeds Loughborough University Cranfield University I never heard back from Heriot-Watt. I got rejected from UCL because i applied very late (I applied in Feb 2021 and their admissions closed in December). Reasons for choosing the University of Glasgow : The University of Glasgow is a Russell Group university, which is equivalent to Ivy League universities in the USA. So you get better funding opportunities for research, the alumni network is better, and you get a chance to be a part of a reputable history which has once housed Nobel laureates and a university that is globally acknowledged. The course module that they were offering, especially options for dissertation, was best suited for my career goals. Also, I am a big fan of Hogwarts so studying at a university that looks like Hogwarts is a dream come true! Admission process : Needed to write a Statement of Purpose (SOP) describing my journey so far, what i want to study, why i want to study the course, what makes me the best fit for this course and university, and what my future plans are. 2 referrals from bachelor's university and 1 referral from my previous employer Marksheets of uni, 10th, and 12th. I was exempted from IELTS because i scored 94% in English from the ISC Board in my 12th. The minimum score required is 8 in IELTS. The admission process is very straightforward. They have a questionnaire that you need to fill out that can be answered from your SOP, and you need to upload all your relevant documents. They usually come back with an answer within 2 weeks. September intake, 2021 batch. The academic cycle for September intake is better. Also, you get some time to be acclimatised to the weather compared to the January intake, who arrive in deep winter, which can be a shock. I applied at the end of february. I received a response from them within 2 weeks saying that i got admission. You can apply for a scholarship after you receive an admission. They will give you a month to confirm if you want to accept the admission or not....Read More
