Many would think that, after sending the applications to the German universities you just have to WAIT till the unviersity replies. But we beg to differ, where the applications are just the tip of the iceberg and there are lot more to be done. Here are those top 5 things that one needs to do, after he/she sends out the application.
#1. Application tracking
Not many candidates carry out this important step. It is very crucial to follow up on the course applications and have all the necessary links handy, so that even if there is a interview in the application selection process; you could easily gather the information and prepare yourself.
