International Student Application Guidance

Hello, I am an international student currently studying at UWC Dilijan, and I will be graduating in May 2027. I am preparing to apply to universities abroad for Graphic Design, and I am looking for an experienced admissions counselor to guide me through the entire process — from initial strategy to final submission. As a UWC student, I have been exposed to an international curriculum and diverse academic environment, and I am now focusing on building a strong application for highly competitive design schools. My goal is to apply to top institutions such as Parsons School of Design, RISD, UAL, and other leading design universities in the USA and UK. Because I am applying as an international student, I need someone who is familiar with how overseas applicants are evaluated, including portfolio-based admissions and additional documentation requirements. What I’m looking for: - A clear, personalised application timeline from now until submission deadlines - Strategic help in building a balanced and realistic university list, including top-tier, match, and safety schools in Graphic Design - Guidance on portfolio development (what top design schools expect, how to structure it, and how to stand out creatively) - Detailed feedback on my personal statement and supplemental essays, ensuring they are authentic, well-written, and aligned with each school’s values - Support with academic documents (transcripts, predicted grades, test scores, and any required adaptations for international applications) - Overview of the visa process and post-acceptance steps, so I can prepare early - Recommendations for additional universities I may not have considered but that are strong in design and visual arts Collaboration preferences: I am happy to communicate via weekly Zoom or Google Meet sessions, and share all materials through Google Docs or any platform you prefer. I value structured feedback and clear action steps between each meeting. When responding, please include: - Your experience working with international students applying to design/creative programs - Examples of recent students you have supported into competitive universities - Your time zone and availability - How you typically structure feedback and application planning I am very motivated to pursue Graphic Design at a high level and want to ensure my application is thoughtful, competitive, and authentically reflects my creative potential. Looking forward to working together..
