Because I studied my undergraduate at a incompetently ranked university, I was keen to study a Master's degree at a higher-ranked university. After spending a year on exchange at the University of Maribor in Slovenia, I was so impressed with the experience I had gained. So I decided to apply for a Master's degree abroad. After talking to my friends and teachers, I felt that the UK was a very ideal place to pursue a postgraduate study, not only due to the variety of well-established institutions but also because I could finish my study in just one year. After making my decision, I consulted many agents and found that my academic background was not competitive for a UK postgradaute application at top unveristies, as my previous institution was not recognised by those top QS 100 universties in the UK. I attended many information sessions in Beijing and received the same feedback from those top universities. I was then introduced to the University Choice team in the UK through a friend.  The advisor I met was super professional and did not vote down my education background. Instead, they gave me solid advice from different perspectives. They even felt that my background was perfectly competent to apply for the University of Manchester (ranked top 50 by QS). I wasn't very sure that this would work.  The University Choice staff were very attentive throughout the whole application process. They also worked with me on the paperwork and document preparation, exploring the relevance of my background to the subject I was applying for. I couldn't believe it when I finally got the offer from the University of Manchester. I still remembered that I had attended a recruitment seminar of the University of Manchester in China before and the University representative said that my background was not very promising. Therefore, I am grateful to the University Choice team for helping me to get an offer from the dream university.
