Is there a risk of being charged excessively by consultancies during the application process?

Yes, there is a risk of being charged excessively by consultancies during the application process. Some may add hidden fees or overcharge for their services, which can lead to unexpected expenses.

To protect yourself:
- Check credentials: Use only registered and accredited consultancies.
- Ask for an itemized fee breakdown: Get all costs in writing before proceeding.
- Be cautious of guarantees: Avoid agencies that promise guaranteed admission or visas without proper evaluation.

If you have concerns about fees or need guidance, reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor for support.
