The counsellors helped me shortlist universities according to my interests. With the ability to engage & speak to universities directly, I was more confident of choosing the right university.
I wanted to pursue a degree which could help me get the relevant expertise for my real estate business, I was able to search for the course of my choice, connect with expert counsellors & take the correct decision. The webinars & direct connect feature was really helpful.
I would like to thank you for such a significant SOP. It is absolutely great. I'll be needing your help in proof reading in coming future, though. I enjoyed working with you.
MeetUniversity.com saved a lot of my time and handled all mess that was created and guided me with the correct course & institution. They guided me till I received my offer letter to the final admissions.
