MSc Aerospace Engineering Experience

I applied to 7 Universities, here are the stats: I got confirmed admission from the University of Leeds, University of Liverpool, Queen Mary University of London, University of Warwick, and University of Manchester. I got rejected from the University of Glasgow and the University of Bristol. I wasn't accepted into the 2 universities, possibly because my cgpa wasn't as high as they needed it to be. I chose the University of Manchester as my final option because of the quality of education, ample availability of part-time jobs in the city and the location of the University. After filling out the application form, I had to submit a writing sample for eligibility and an IELTS score, after which i got a letter of acceptance from them. My course only needed the IELTS score; the minimum had to be a 7 overall. The overall experience was really easy because I went through my application and admission process using external consultant services from TFM Overseas Education Consultants. I didn't face any challenges, as my CAS certificate, visa and scholarship arrived well in time. In fact, I received my offer very early on so I was able to finish everything ahead of time. I would recommend starting to apply right after the fall intake to be early in the process. I applied for the September 2024 intake, as i took a gap year after my undergrad. The admission process took about 7-8 months, including the reception of the CAS Certificate. I applied in October and received my acceptance letter by November after submitting my writing sample at the end of October. Later, in June, we received our Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies certificate, which helped apply for the visa. I received the scholarship in July and joined the University in September....Read More

I applied to more than 100 universities so I am not gonna list them, though I do have an excel spreadsheet of all of them compiled somewhere in my laptop. TLDR: I got accepted into all Russell Group universities of the UK except Oxford and Cambridge. I got rejected by all the IVY leagues (only made it till interview round of UPenn). Many more rejections in The US and Europe but got in few German and Canadian Universities. I got into NUS in Singapore but didn't accept because I had to do 3 years of military training which at the time I wasn't keen into but now looking back at it I might've preferred that instead. I got into UNSW of Australia and University of Auckland in New Zealand as well. As for the US ones, I got into Purdue University, NYU and some more but they were very expensive and now the craziest admission letter I had after my interview at Washington University. I got offered 100% scholarship in Washington University for a degree in hard sciences as in BS in Physics and Maths (I even had options to choose astrophysics which I love so much and few chem models as its a major based degree) but at that time I was an idiot that I didn't accept that offer and to this date I regret it all because they didn't had any engineering modules or engineering degree to offer at that time. I still think that if somehow I could reverse time I should've chosen that offer at all costs. I forgot to mention that I received 5,000 pounds/ year scholarship at University of Edinburgh and University of Glasgow respectively and a 8,000 pounds/ year scholarship at University of Leicester. Quite a lot to tell about my application stage struggle and how hard I went to apply. One thing to note is that never pick that option of tuition fee waiver as it incredibly slims your chances of getting admission and that was the case why I got rejected in so many universities even though my application was fine and academics was also on par. Always choose application fee waiver though so you can apply as much as I did. Also I never took help from any consultants or third party with my applications as I believed in myself more and I wanted to save money lol. Plus my mindset has always been that what they can do I can do better and it's never gonna change. P.S. Goodluck Applying!! For choosing the university my criteria depended on curriculum, modules, degree offered, city I am gonna study at, ranking of university, subject ranking of that degree, country's post study visa structure, language barrier (most euro unis in bachelors require you to study that country's language and that bachelors is mostly taught in that language as well so that was my reason of not accepting some fabulous european universities, It's not the same case in masters tho as they offer masters in english as well but back then in bachelors and i'm pretty sure even now its not the same case), and the most important how expensive or how much tuition fees is that's why after all those conclusions I chose University of Manchester (though should've chose that Washington University). Admission process is not something even I know how universities go about. It's not transparent and definitely very rigorous. Admission experience is very tough. I understand there will be quite a lot of challenges and rejections but never give up . Just be yourself. Know that Universities want you more than you want them. So don't be down when facing rejections. I applied for the 2020 September intake after my board examinations. Admission process does not take that long once you accept an offer from a university but before that it takes a lot of time. I was basically applying since a year before and it's a rigorous procedure which takes a lot of time. As for visa processes and stuff like confirmation of acceptance of studies, they take like a month or two max....Read More

During my schooling years, I had the opportunity to become part of the "Ace Programme" at Rugby School, London, consisting of modules in politics and business.

I chose this university as it is amongst top 30 in QS World Rankings. I received a partial scholarship from this University that helped pay off some of the costs.
