How to Connect With Admission Officers and Professors?

Many international admission officers have their contact information available on the college's website. You should feel free to use it and to get in touch with them. Be careful to email the admission officers with well-thought-out in-depth questions, and not smaller details like average IELTS scores or deadlines 

When you email themmake sure you identify yourself by including your name, where you are from, and other important information. Nameless, faceless and poorly written emails are less likely to receive a response. If you don't demonstrate good communication skills in your emailsthat gives off a negative impression about your ability to study at the university. 

If English is not your first language, admission officers understand that your emails are not going to be perfectly written. But the emails have to be able to get your point across and show that you took some time to write it.

When Should You Expect a Reply from a University?

Depending on the time of the year, it may take the admission officers some time to reply to youIt iOK to send a polite reminder email after some time has passed. During the busier times of the year, it might take an admission officer one or two weeks to reply to your email.  

Sometimes you might be disappointed by the lack of a response. But what we can say is that only the best emails are most likely to receive a good response. So take a good time to write an email. The admission officers of top universities in the world, receive such emails in high numbers. Some universities will offer you the opportunity to connect with current students. Current students are the best source of information about a university. You might connect with the current students over online chat by email or Skype.  

By connecting with a university or college, you will have all the important questions answered, and you will also get a sense of the personality that college has. Connecting is about the feeling that you get from a university, and it is that feeling which is going to be really important when it comes to choosing one university which you will attend.
