Vague Financial Answers
❌ Wrong:
"My parents will pay for everything. They have enough money."
✅ Correct:
"My father works as a senior engineer with monthly salary of £X. We have £Y in savings at ABC Bank. This covers tuition of £20,000 plus living expenses of £12,000, with buffer. I have 6 months bank statements showing balances above £35,000."
No Research About the University
Saying "it's a good university" is instant failure. Universities want to know you've done your homework.
✅ What You MUST Know:
- • Specific professors in your field (mention 2-3 by name)
- • Unique facilities or research centers
- • Campus location and why it's ideal
- • Specific modules within your program
