I am a master's student pursuing informatics at the Technical University of Munich, Germany. I am about to complete my third semester soon and during this phase, I have received a lot of messages from known as well as unknown people to give them an opinion about master's abroad, especially in Germany and the United States. One of the common questions a lot of them asked, "Can I opt for admission counseling services for the preparation of my documents?" and my answer has been consistent always, "No, do not opt for admission counseling services at all!"
