Applying to college in the United States can be exciting and challenging. It can also at times be frustrating. The key to a successful experience lies in careful planning and timely completion of the required steps.
Step 1: Think about Why You Want to Study in the United States
For example, many students come to the United States because of the diversity of educational opportunities available. There are more than 600 major fields of study offered at more than 3,800 colleges and universities. What are your reasons?
Step 2: Research College Opportunities
Answer questions about your needs and preferences, such as: What do I want to study? Where do I want to live? Is the institution located in a large city or a small town? How is the student life at a particular institution? How competitive is the admission process? Create a list of U.S. colleges that meet these needs. College Search can help.

Step 4: Apply to Colleges
Begin the application process as soon as you've decided which college best meets your needs, and no later than 12 months before your expected start date. Remember to send all required documents and forms as soon as possible. U.S. colleges usually review applications only when everything has been received. To learn about a college's admissions policy, select "International Students" on a college's profile page in College Search.
