Using an agency for study-abroad applications can involve certain risks. Agencies may lack transparency in fees, leading to unexpected costs. Some may provide inaccurate or outdated information about universities, visas, or scholarships, potentially jeopardizing your application.
Unscrupulous agencies might submit falsified documents, risking rejection or future bans. Over-reliance on agencies can also reduce your personal involvement, leaving you unprepared for interviews or independent processes. Research the agency’s reputation, verify credentials, and ensure clear communication to mitigate risks.
