Excited about his new research position at the University
of Louisiana, one of the first things Salman said in his video interview with GradTrain was “welcome to my new
office!”
Out of millions of prospective students, who dream about studying
abroad, Salman made his dream come true last summer. He sent six applications
to different universities in the United States, got accepted to 5 of them, and started
his masters at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where he now studies with a full
scholarship. Here's your chance to hear his success story, get inspired
and get tips for studying abroad.
During
his undergraduate degree, Salman started working in a lab in Bangladesh, to
gain work experience. He worked in research with Dr. Nadim Khandaker, who completed his PhD in a reputed US university. Although he wasn't a straight-A student, he was
very dedicated to his research and his team was very happy with his work. When
he finished his first degree, his professor inspired him to get his advanced
degree in the United States. Salman's professor knew from experience, that
Salman’s career can take a huge leap if he did his masters in the US.
Starting the process

First of all, he found out about the GradTrain admissions
predictor, that anlayzes you background automatically and helps you
choose the right school that you can get accepted to. He put in his required
field of study and schools. He found and was able to significantly narrow down
his choices.
Next,
instead of spending many more hours researching what he should do to apply, he
started finding out who can help him. While all his friends were signing up to
agencies which filled out applications for them or helped them retake their
tests, Salman decided to try something different. He found GradTrain, and began
taking video sessions with a GradTrain coach
who went through the study abroad process who could help him.

His
coach helped him create a strategic plan to focus his attention in the
direction that best fits his background and ambitions and with the coach’s
guidance, Salman upgraded his application package. Salman advises to look at
your overall profile, and find out what your weaknesses and strengths are when
applying. The coach also helped him better understand what US universities are looking for and what to emphasize or de-emphasize in his essay.
Following
his success and based on his positive experience with GradTrain, after getting
accepted to the university of his choice, Salman requested to become a
GradTrain coach himself, to help the future generations of international
students who want to follow in his footsteps.. You can get advice from Salman by
scheduling a 1:1 meeting with him.
