How to apply to US universities

We’ve made the application process as simple as possible, with 4 steps to US university admission:

Complete your application form, and submit all supporting documents, including academic transcripts. Check in the brochure for information about supporting documents for your preferred university and program.
When we have received all your required supporting documents, your application will be submitted to the University within 24 hours of receipt. You’ll be notified about your offer as soon as the University has made its decision.
Once you’ve accepted your offer, you’ll be advised on how to pay your deposit (the first installment toward your tuition fee).
Finally, once you have received your I-20 form, you will be eligible to apply for your student visa. You can interview for your visa as early as 120 days before the start date listed on your I-20.

Our staff can give you guidance on anything you need. Contact us if you have any questions.
