Anyone else applying to medical/dental universities in Bulgaria without an agency?

Hi everyone,

I’m applying to universities in Bulgaria as a non-EU applicant this year (for medicine/dentistry), and I’ve decided to handle the application process myself instead of using an agency.

Last year I initially went through an agency, but the fees were pretty high and when I looked into it more, it seemed like most of what they do is just paperwork and submitting documents that applicants can technically do themselves.

That said, doing it alone is a bit stressful. I keep worrying about things like:

• whether I’m preparing the documents correctly
• apostilles / legalization of certificates
• translations
• deadlines for non-EU applicants
• whether I’m missing some step that agencies normally handle

So I thought I’d make this post to see if anyone else here is applying independently. Maybe we could share information, compare what steps we’ve done, and help each other avoid mistakes.

feel free to comment or message. It might help to figure things out together.
