Tip One: Allow a few years to adequately prepare – take your time.
This is very important. You will be faced with many different
activities – preparing for the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, etc.,
researching various educational institutions and programs, preparing
your applications, determining how you will fund your studies and
much more. All of this takes time. You do not want to be or feel
rushed. Believing that you do not have enough time will add stress
to what can already be an overwhelming undertaking, and lead to
making mistakes.
Tip Two: The importance of learning to speak/write in English.
Obviously, your ability to communicate in English, both verbally and
in writing, is crucial. As with any skill, learning English takes
time. In addition, some individuals have a greater level of ease in
learning other languages. Take the time you need to learn the
language. If you find that you are struggling, and application
deadlines are approaching, wait a year. While initially this may
seem like a major set back, taking the time you need to be
proficient will reap huge dividends in the long run, and aid you in
completing your program of study on time and with good academic
standing.
