Starting your study abroad journey is exciting. New opportunities, new countries, new experiences.
But between applications, documents, and visa requirements, it can also feel overwhelming.
That is where your student counsellor comes in — to guide you, support you, and make sure every step goes smoothly.
However, one mistake can quietly ruin your chances: keeping information to yourself.
Why Your Counsellor Needs the Full Picture
Your Eduwise counsellor is not just there to help you fill forms. They are building your story to present to universities and embassies.
Every detail you share helps us tailor your application, prepare stronger statements, and avoid problems during visa processing.
When you hide something, even unintentionally, it can come back later as a visa refusal or application rejection.
What You Should Never Keep Secret
Everyone has parts of their academic or personal journey they wish went differently. Those details matter more than you think.
Here are some things you should always tell your student counsellor:
Previous visa refusals: It is not the end of your dream. We only need to prepare the right explanation for your next application.
Academic challenges: Failed or repeated courses do not disqualify you. They just need proper context.
Medical conditions: Some universities offer support systems and require early disclosure.
Legal or disciplinary issues: Even minor issues can affect your visa. Honesty allows your counsellor to prepare the right documentation.
Financial limitations: Being open helps us recommend scholarships or affordable schools that fit your budget.
Secrets Create Surprises That Hurt Your Chances
A surprise birthday party is great.
A surprise visa history or missing transcript is not.
When you hide information, it limits how much your counsellor can help you. Think of your counsellor as your guide and advocate in your study abroad journey. They can only defend and prepare you with the information you provide.
