Especially for schools with competitive admissions, the application process takes a significant amount of time and
effort. You will need to write personal statements and request recommendations from teachers or others who know you
well. Even if you are applying on line via the Common Application, you will want to get started early. University
websites and other academic Internet sites may provide quick and convenient access to the required application
forms, but you still need time to research your options, contact teachers and institutions to provide recommendations
and transcripts, and sign up for required entrance exams in time to meet application deadlines. Application timeline will provide you with detailed information about the steps you should take and when
you should take them in order to plan your approach to studying in the USA. The plan starts 18 months before you
wish to study, so you need to get planning soon. Of course, if you don’t have that much time you can still jump in
and catch up – but there earlier the better. Most U.S. colleges and universities require that you take one or more standardized admissions tests in order to gain
entrance into their programs. SAT, ACT, GRE, MCAT, LSAT, TOEFL, IELTS – it’s like alphabet soup! We can provide you
with further information about the various tests, what you need to do in order to prepare for, sign up for and do
well on the appropriate standardized tests.
