Hey Sid, Depending on the University you choose, submitting or not submitting letters of recommendation can make a difference. To get into the top colleges in the U.S, letters of recommendation are a must. However, universities that don't fall among the first tier don't generally put as much emphasis on letters of recommendation. However, LORs add credibility to your profile and certainly help boost your chances of getting into the university of your choice. For any reference regarding writing letters of recommendation, check out this blog-https://ischoolconnect.com/blog/your-letter-of-recommendation-the-unsung-hero/

This is a great thread. It is highly beneficial to know what problems you might face before moving abroad. The answer above by Christine Joseph is very informative. The only thing I would add is that what helps a lot with overcoming the common problems students face abroad is to not face them alone. If you are surrounded by other international students, you can expect to face the same problems and be able to tackle them together. Just the fact that you can hang out and talk with someone who is experiencing a similar "hardship" helps immensely. I have experienced being the only "outsider" in a whole school when I was in Moscow, and now I know how it is like being in a school with 100% international students (Aspire Business School Barcelona). The difference is immense. Good luck to everybody thinking of studying abroad! It is a life-changing experience!

Hey Radhika, While choosing your Major/Minor to study abroad, you should consider these factors: Career Analysis: Check and find out the careers that could stem out of the Major you select. If you are not sure about what you want to do, make sure to choose a course that doesn't specialize too much so that you have the flexibility of choosing a variety of careers in that path. Earning Potential: Understand the prospective remittance that you could get after your bachelors to understand whether the Return on investment is worth it or not. Subjects that you love: Decide on a subject that you have an interest in. Doing a course that you don't like will eventually pull you down and hinder you from performing to the best of your abilities. It should be noted that different students will prioritize the different points mentioned based on their preferences. We at iSchoolConnect could help you make a well-informed decision to achieve your study abroad dreams. You could also contact us for further information.

Thanks, Christine this is so useful.

They are almost similar but yes it is a little cheaper in the UK than studying in Australia. For example, the University of Oxford's MBA program will cost you 62,500 pounds ($81,093) and it is the highest.

The cost for an MBA in Australia at the University of Melbourne is around $76,900 and the lowest cost you will get for the MBA program is at RMIT University and the cost is around $36,352. So, in conclusion, the UK is cheaper than Australia for an MBA program

Your SOP is what makes or breaks your college application and as far as I know, SOP's are compulsory for college applications as they represent your ideas and will for applying for the college. But if you don't want to write your SOP you can ask your respective university if they offer an alternative option like a university interview. But mostly, one way or another, most universities ask you to write an SOP or an Essay. I personally, would recommend that you should write an SOP. Doing so will help you build your application profile and will increase your chances of getting accepted in the university of your choice. But still, if you feel like you don't want to write an SOP, make an inquiry with the university you want to apply to.
