Complete Guide to the US University and college Application Process
No matter where you are from, if you want to go to college or university in the United States, you will likely have to take a standardized test, such as the SAT or the ACT
Standardized Tests
It’s recommended that students take either the SAT or ACT at least once, about 18 months before the projected start date of their first year of university.
Take Your Standardized Tests Early
If you are like many international students who attend college in the US, you probably began researching schools in the United States the minute you decided you wanted to study there.
Research Universities
Picking the right college can be a tough decision. There are a lot of factors to consider, and it can easily get overwhelmed with all the different issues to consider.
By now, you should have all the documentation you need to prove you can pay for your studies, your passport is valid, and you've got those letters of recommendation in hand.
It’s Time to Apply
By five months before you plan to start your first semester, you should begin hearing back from schools you applied to, and you should be prepared to decide which college you will attend.
Decision Time
Start by creating a travel checklist that begins with your visa documentation, university paperwork, and travel documents and then extends to the must-haves you want to bring with you to the United States.
