Attracting the attention of universities

By Nicolle Merrill and Gleyce Oliveira

Hello students!

We’ve just returned from NAFSA, the world's largest convention on international education, held in Kansas City, USA. During the event we presented GlobalCampus to many more universities, showed the videos of the winners of the ‘Tell Your Story’ contest and explained how to reach our talented users. The result? Loads of new universities are joining GlobalCampus to find students like you!

When you receive a message from a university on GlobalCampus and click on “Yes, I am interested” , a notification is sent to the university who can then view your profile. Admission officers told us that the more complete a student profile the better the student’s chances. So we’re here to remind you: complete your profile, universities are searching!

Completing your profile is like preparing to a fancy party

Imagine that a friend invites you to a huge party and that girl/boy you are crazy about will be there. You put on your lousy sweater and tracksuit pants and head to the party, right? NO! You’d dress up like a celebrity: glamorous shoes, stylish hair and shiny accessories. So why get lazy when it comes to ‘flirting’ with universities?!

This post will give you some hints on how to make your profile look fabulous and make any university think ‘mmm, this is a strong candidate!’

Tell Your Story - the winners!

Ladies and gentlemen,

In April we invited you to share your story with us and to let us help you stand out on the radar screen of international universities looking for talent from different corners of the world. The contest was a great success and we had many more videos than we were expecting – awesome! Nevertheless, this meant more drama and dilemma to choose the winners, and after a ‘Shakespearean act’ in the office, the GlobalCampus Team is back to very proudly announce the winners!

Before we start presenting our celebrities (and to create some suspense along the way) we want you to take into consideration these two things:

What is CampusTalk?

CampusTalk is a GlobalCampus feature that allows university staff, alumni, and current international students to connect and communicate with students who are actively searching for universities on GlobalCampus. CampusTalk allows university staff and alumni to answer questions directly from prospective students. Often these questions are about scholarships, admissions requirements, and campus life. CampusTalk is your university’s personal, online forum attached to your profile. It’s similar to having a booth at an admissions fair.
