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.

One can typically use a Spreadsheet to keep track of all the applications, URLs, deadlines, requirements, etc., Also, if the university takes too long (typically 3-4 months) to give their decision, then you can contact them and ask for a status update.
#2. Blocked account
The concept of blocked account is very new to many of the candidates. One can easily get confused and thus, it is very important to educate yourself regarding this. Not having proper funds in the blocked account will definitely lead you to VISA rejection. Therefore, make it a point to understand about blocked account and the process of creating one.

#4. Applying for Dorms
Everyone knows that, Germany has become the hottest destination for education due to its cheap costs. It has also increased the difficulty in finding an accommodation at student rates. As a student, one can apply for dormitories provided by the university. Even, these dorms receive huge amount of applications and thus it is always advisable to apply for dorm before-hand.
You can apply for the dorms with just your passport and later decline the offer also. It would be really bad, if you could get an admit and not get an accommodation. Gather all the information related to accommodation and keep it handy.
