Common application mistakes
Avoid track, deadline, document, and source-version errors.
General guidance
Rules vary by university, program, intake, and nationality. Confirm every final requirement with the official authority.
The high-risk mistakes
Using the wrong international track, relying on an expired guide, assuming the online deadline also covers originals, and treating recommended language scores as mandatory are common avoidable errors.
Final verification
Open the current university or government guide, confirm the intake and academic year, and save the source link and checked date. A previous-year PDF is context, not a current requirement.
