Questions to Ask During a University Consultation
Practical questions that help you get the most from a consultation.
In this article
Before you book
Consider jotting down what you already know (destinations you're curious about, subjects of interest, rough budget range) so the conversation can start from where you actually are, rather than from scratch.
Questions worth asking
Consider asking: what destinations or study levels might suit my background? What would a realistic application timeline look like for me? What documents should I start preparing now? What general cost categories should I be planning for?
It's also reasonable to ask what a consultation service can and cannot help with — a good adviser should be upfront that admission, visa and scholarship decisions are never guaranteed.
After the consultation
A useful consultation should leave you with clear next steps, not just general encouragement. If it doesn't, it's reasonable to ask for a more specific plan.
