Once you have a clear understanding of your goals and preferences, the next step is to shortlist potential universities. Based on the assessment, your counsellor will help you identify universities that match your academic profile, field of interest, and budget. This process involves researching and comparing different institutions to find the ones that best fit your needs. Factors such as location, university rankings, course offerings, and campus facilities are considered during the shortlisting process. This step is crucial as it narrows down your options to a manageable list of universities where you are most likely to succeed and feel comfortable.
