Audience
Who ApplySite is for (and who it is not)
ApplySite is the search and direct-application platform, and a consulting company for studying abroad. It fits if you want to choose a program and destination from the published offer.
A strong fit if you…
Want to compare real international programs: languages, undergraduate, postgraduate, master’s, MBA, micro-credentials, online or on-campus.
Want to apply with verified schools in the Allied Institutions Network — not only the subset an agency pushes that month.
Need initial guidance (destinations, indicative costs, next steps) without losing control of the process.
Prioritize seeing the offer, requirements, and traceability before committing to a school.
A traditional agency may fit better if you…
Only want a neighborhood agency with a fully “done-for-you” package.
Have no interest in comparing a digital offer or reviewing published tuition and requirements.
Prefer an opaque middleman to choose for you without seeing the full offer.
We do not replace the consulate and we do not guarantee visas; no serious agency should.
Process
How to study abroad with ApplySite (step by step)
The flow is that of the platform: search, direct application to the university, and follow-up on the application with the institution.
01
Explore real destinations and programs
Filter by country, study type, language, and budget. Each listing shows information published by the institution: duration, format, indicative requirements, and tuition when the school declares it.
02
Get guidance without losing control
An advisor helps match profile, timelines, and documents. Academic decisions stay with the institution; ApplySite organizes the process and reduces friction.
03
Apply directly to the institution
You send interest or an application toward admissions at the verified school — instead of only seeing the subset an agency wants to push that month.
04
Continue before, during, and after
After the institution replies, you continue with admission steps, visa when applicable, and arrival prep — with platform support, not impossible promises.

Checklist
How to choose among agencies (practical checklist)
Before you sign with any study abroad agency — or use ApplySite — validate these points. They apply whether you compare traditional brands or digital platforms.
Can you see the real institution and program name, not only a generic “package”?
Do you understand if the service is free because the school pays commission — and what that means for the options you are shown?
Who decides admission: the university/school, or only the middleman?
Are you promised a guaranteed visa? If yes, be skeptical: the consulate decides.
Are tuition, duration, and requirements written down before you pay academic fees?
Can you compare more than one school in the same destination without hard-sell pressure?
