Use AI as a tool. Use StudyPath as your strategy.
AI can help brainstorm, translate, and draft. But Dutch university admission requires program-specific requirements, strict document standards, and end-to-end process management.
Why "AI + DIY" could fail
AI tools are powerful, but they have blind spots when it comes to Dutch university admissions.
Wrongly assuming standard requirements
Different programs have different documents, steps, and deadlines. What works for one may not work for another.
Document errors
Missing pages, wrong formats, or translation issues can delay or disqualify your application.
Generic positioning
Motivation letters that lack program-specific evidence fail to stand out to admissions committees.
Timeline risk
Missing steps or late discovery of missing documents can mean missing your intake entirely.
Follow-up uncertainty
Unclear how to respond to admission requests or clarification emails from universities.
Post-admission gaps
Housing, visa, and BRP registration are often underestimated until it's too late.
AI can produce confident text even when it is wrong or incomplete. StudyPath adds judgment, structure, and process control.
What StudyPath provides
Expert guidance that complements AI tools and fills the gaps they cannot.
Tailored Application Strategy
- Which programs fit your background and goals
- Strongest narrative for each program
- Identifying and addressing weak points
AI drafts, but StudyPath builds coherent application strategy.
Human-Grade Document Accuracy
- Correct documents for specific programs and intakes
- Completeness checking (including "small" deal-breakers)
- Formatting and scan quality review

This is why many strong applicants lose time on technicalities.

- Natural human tone, still professional
You remain the author. We help make it ready for admissions.
End-to-End Process Management
- Timelines and deadlines
- Studielink and university portal submissions
- Follow-up requests and clarification emails
- Decision tracking across multiple programs
AI does not track your process. We do.
Support Beyond Acceptance
- Housing strategy and realistic expectations
- Visa route steps (including MVV)
- Municipal registration (BRP) and arrival checklist
Surprises aren't always good. We help you transition smoothly.

The right way to use AI
AI is a powerful tool when used appropriately. Here's how to get the best results.
AI is best for
- Early brainstorming and outlining
