University Shortlisting
You are a high-school student considering studying at a university in the USA. You have decided that you want to study a particular subject, but there are many universities with different courses on offer. You need to choose between these universities and decide which will be best for you.
When it comes to college, your GPA, SAT scores, and extracurricular activities are important. But they're not the only things that matter.
Shortlist universities according to the course you want to pursue.
The first thing you should do is narrow down your list of potential universities. You can do this by looking at the rankings of different universities, but even if one university has a lower ranking than another, it might be better suited to your needs.
Top-ranking universities in your field
After shortlisting the universities with the course option, you should also review the faculties offering those courses. You should check which faculties are reputed, their placement records, and how many students join student organizations and societies there.
Faculties of repute
When selecting a university, most students go by reputation and ranking. However, other factors can make or break your decision.
Note: Please select your college as per the “Designated learning Institutions List(DLI)” which is approved by the Canadian government.
- The first thing to look at is the faculty. You want to be sure that the professors at your chosen institution are highly qualified and experienced in their fields.
- The second thing you should look for is an excellent student-to-faculty ratio. It's important for you to have access to quality teachers who can help you achieve your goals and provide guidance throughout your studies.
- The third thing is whether or not the university has an active student life program, which will give you opportunities for networking with other students from around the world!
Good placement records
When you’re looking for a university, you should make sure it has a good placement record. This means that when students graduate, they get good jobs.
If you are going to a university because of the reputation of its graduates, then it is important to find out what types of jobs they get after graduation.
Student organisations and societies
Student organisations and societies are a great way to get involved in your university community. They're also a great way to make new friends and build your CV. Some of the most popular student organisations and societies include sports teams, political groups, religious societies and even your university's student newspaper.
You'll find that many universities offer a range of different clubs and societies for students to join, so it's important that you check out what's available before making your final decision.
