SHORTLISTING PROCESS

• WHAT IS SHORTLISTING
• The short listing process is to identify
  the applicants best meet with the university
  requirements.
• WHY IS SHORTLISTING IMPORTANT
• 1. If a student does not adopt a scientific
  approach in choosing universities, they may end
  up applying to the wrong universities.
• 2. Applying to universities which do not
  suite the students profile will lead to
  rejections from those universities.
• 3. Applying to wrong universities and
  getting rejections is a waste of time, money and
  effort.
