Application process

The application process was rigorous but manageable. First thing, I had to show proof of academic excellence and language proficiency, so I prepared my transcript and SAT to fulfill the required score of a minimum of 1200 and I was able to get 1260 on my SAT, for the language proficiency I took the IELTS scoring a 7.5 overall.

Then I had to write a personal statement explaining why I chose to study in Germany and why the Constructor University along with my resume.

I needed a few months to prepare all the requirements, once I had everything I needed I checked all my requirements and submitted my application in December and three weeks later I received my acceptance letter along with my scholarship offer of 6000 Euros.

Extracurricular activities

Volunteering was one of my main activities as I volunteered many times in my school for multiple causes.

I also joined a team called Faza on multiple occasions, which is a team dedicated to helping others who are in need.

And I played sports, as I was a part of a basketball and football team.

Student body and University support

Constructor University offers a diverse and vibrant student body. The university is known for its American-style education in Germany and attracts students from over 150 different nationalities making the student body diverse. This diversity has made this transition easier for me and made it easy to blend in and be a part of the student body and make friends from various backgrounds. The international atmosphere makes this experience much more special, offering academic and social opportunities.

And even though I haven't started to apply to internships yet as I am still a freshman, I am aware of the huge support that our university offers to students when it comes to finding internships within their desired fields starting from sophomore year.

Tips

My biggest advice would be to start the application process early, ideally at the end of junior year or the beginning of senior year.

You have to work hard throughout high school to strengthen your application by having a strong academic record and securing better scholarship opportunities.

Early preparation and effective time management are key to a successful application when applying and balancing academic and social life in a new environment once you attend university.
