3 Big Reasons Why Students Can’t Study Abroad (Even When They Want To)

While as enticing as the idea of studying abroad is that promises a high-return career, the path ahead isn’t easy.

There’s a reason why millions of students in Bangladesh desire to study in the finest colleges of the USA, the UK and Australia but only a handful of them manage to make it happen.

Here are three big reasons why the majority of the students fail to get into top universities overseas even when they want to:

Lack of funding

Needless to say, studying in top institutes come with a cost. Few people can self-finance it. And even though there are numerous scholarships and opportunities to finance overseas education, they fall insufficient at times.

This is the biggest reason that stops so many students in Bangladesh from studying abroad.

If you’re planning to study in any institute outside the country, you must think thoroughly and thoughtfully about how you’re going to afford it.

If you can self-finance, good! If not, explore all your opportunities available out there, right from scholarships to sponsorships.

Poor grades

If you’re trying to get into the world’s best college, you must also be “ideal” for that. They have some very rigorous criteria, demanding applicants to have top-notch grades.

Not only do you need good marks in your Higher Secondary (and Bachelor’s if you’re applying for Master’s), you also must score high in the required tests like SAT, ACT, TOEFL and/or IELTS. 

Many students underestimate this! They don’t work hard enough to score high in their exams and tests. This eventually shuts for them the doors of top universities.

Not knowing how to

Applying to study abroad isn’t that simple. It’s a tedious process that requires proper planning and preparations.

Many students simply do not know or understand how to keep up adequately with this process. In that mix, they end making small mistakes, be it in their application, letters of recommendation, or more.

This keeps them from getting admission to the desired college.

Don’t fall for the same mistakes. If you want to study abroad, instead of DIY, work along with one of the good foreign education consultants in Bangladesh. They can guide you in the right direction.
