ADMISSION
TO THE US UNIVERSITIES
Because American institutions are so diverse and the education
sector is so vast, applying to an American university is a more complex
process than applying to universities in other countries.
Students thinking about going to the
United States to study should commence their preparatory research at
least 12 months before they plan to commence their studies. The US
academic year begins in August/September and finishes in May/June.
There are over 3,300 accredited
colleges and universities in the United States, from large research
universities with more than 20,000 students to small colleges with fewer
than 1,000 students. The range of courses varies greatly from two year
associate degrees to research based doctoral programs.
Whether you are applying for
undergraduate or graduate study, the application process is similar.
-
Select up to 10 colleges or
universities which may be appropriate for you.
This process may take a
considerable amount of research. You may take our assistance in
finding you the right university or college for you. Please
email to edu@canadausavisa.com
for details.
-
Contact these institutions for
more information and an international student information and
application packet.
If you hold American citizenship,
be sure to state this clearly in your message.
You may be able to do this via an
e-mail link from the institution's home page.
-
Register to take the required
admission tests.
The deadline for registration for
most of these tests is generally six weeks before the test, and it
can take up to five weeks for the results to be sent to the colleges
of your choice. Undergraduates should take the Scholastic Aptitude
Test (SAT) no later than December of the preceding year, and
graduate students should take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE)
or Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) no later than October
of the preceding year.
Admission test Information and
Registrations Bulletins are available at all US
Educational Advising Centres. Test preparation materials are
available from the advising centers located in Sydney, Melbourne and
Perth.
-
From the application packets you
receive, select about 5 institutions to apply to.
Submit a formal application to
these universities between October and December of the year
preceding that in which you wish to commence studies. Every
institution sets their own deadline, so be sure you know when these
are.
