I had a wonderful time at CNN's Breakfast Club, hosted by Toya and Sonal Mehrotra Kapoor! 🌟 It was an amazing opportunity to share my insights on studying abroad and to reconnect with Divya Balaji Kamerkar, a former Edbrand student. During our discussion, we covered some important topics:
💸 Financial concerns: It's important to encourage students to dream big but also remain pragmatic while doing research and exploring all available resources, including scholarships and grants while being realistic about their options.
🌍 Choosing the right country: I emphasized the importance of aligning academic and career goals with the strengths of educational systems in each country, as well as considering practical factors like post-study work opportunities and cultural fit.
🌟 Showcasing different facets: For students who aren't toppers, it's crucial to highlight their unique experiences, skills, and passions. Divya you shared great insights!
🎓 Navigating tricky scholarship situations: When students face the dilemma of choosing between a scholarship at a less preferred college and an admission offer without financial aid at their dream college, I advise them to weigh the long-term benefits of both options, considering factors like future career prospects, financial sustainability, and personal goals.
🤝 Access to guidance: For students who can't afford professional counseling, I recommend seeking advice from trusted mentors, utilizing free online resources, and engaging with university admissions offices directly to gather reliable information.
Thanks again to Toya and Sonal for the insightful conversation and to the entire team at CNN News 18 for putting together a great show! Grateful for the experience. hashtag hashtag hashtag

Just wanted to share some highlights from the recent admitted student event that we hosted at Edbrand. We were fortunate to have Daniel Marschner, Director of International Admissions at Loyola Marymount University, LA USA, join us and share some valuable insights with admitted international students and their families.

Dan emphasized the importance of understanding student life, housing, and settling in, as these topics are key to ensuring a successful transition to university life in the US. Attendees had the chance to ask Dan a wide range of questions, from campus safety to STEM-designated majors and housing options. Dan provided valuable guidance, drawing on his extensive experience working with international students.

Overall, Dan's presence at the event was a fantastic opportunity for admitted students and parents to learn more about Loyola Marymount University and to feel confident in their decision to study there. It's great to see universities taking the time to connect with potential students and answer their questions. We hope to continue hosting events like these in the future, and we look forward to seeing more admissions officers engage with the international student community.

Admitted student events are a crucial component of any successful international student recruitment strategy. These events provide an opportunity for admissions and enrollment offices to engage with admitted students and their families, build relationships, and increase yield rates. By hosting yield events, universities can showcase their unique offerings and value proposition, and address any concerns or questions that students and parents may have. Additionally, yield events can help international admissions officers better understand the needs and preferences of their target student population, and tailor their recruitment efforts accordingly. Overall, the effort put into organizing yield events can result in a significant return on investment in terms of increased enrollment and retention rates.

We have a series of events lined up in April and May so watch out for this space!

Arjun Seth, the founder of Edbrand writes: 'For a 17-year old, the thought of stepping out of her comfort zone and settling in a campus community halfway across the globe is daunting enough.
