Approximately
500,000 international students pursue academic degrees
at the undergraduate, graduate, or professional school
level at U.S. universities. Students considering attending
a U.S. college or university, need to get started by
taking the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
Students may also need to take
the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) or the American
College Test (ACT), if they are seeking admission
to undergraduate programs. Many undergraduate institutions
in the United States require both the SAT and TOEFL
of international students. There are over 2,700 accredited
undergraduate institutions in the United States, so
selecting the correct undergraduate school can be
a confusing task for anyone. Students will need to
get help from a good advisor who explains the different
types of programs and gives some information on how
to choose wisely. Admission to many undergraduate
programs is quite competitive. Students should begin
the application process at least a year in advance.
An increasing number of schools accept applications
year round. Although September (the fall semester)
is the traditional time to begin university study
in the United States, at most schools students can
also enter in January (the spring semester). Finally,
students will need to obtain an I-20 Certificate of
Eligibility in order to obtain an F-1 Student Visa
to study in the United States. The school will send
the I-20 document once the student has been accepted.
The right application campaign
can make the difference between acceptance and rejection
in an American university. Our admissions experts
provide one-on-one attention as well as literature
and software to guide the student through the admissions
process. For many students, the college admissions
process starts one or more years in advance, and doesn't
let up until they get admitted. But there are many
questions. What are the American universities looking
for, anyway? Is it true that if the numbers aren't
high enough, the application is automatically dumped
in the "reject" pile? Are universities looking
for people with a two-page resume of extracurricular
activities? What do admissions officers "want
to hear" in the essay? Can test prep really make
scores go up? How does a student get admission in
a guaranteed way?
Just about everyone who's applying
to college asks these questions and we have all the
answers. We are in a position to guarantee admission
to appropriate American universities. There are literally
hundreds of good universities in America and the following
is a select list of highly competitive colleges and
universities.
