How we shortlist for you
- We look at your marks, backlogs and English score against each university's real cut-off, not the brochure.
- We balance the list across ambitious, moderate and safe options so you are not left without an offer.
- We factor in total cost, city, and post-study work prospects, not only the ranking.
- We flag universities where your profile is a weak fit, so you do not waste an application fee.
