The GRE revised General Test measures your verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical writing skills — skills that have been developed over a long period and are not related to a specific field of study but are important for all.

Selecting is perhaps the most time-consuming and important process. IMPORTANT: There is often a difference between popular perception and reality, so going by what most people say is good for someone else may not be the best option for you. The best university for you may not be the famous ones, but those that offer your specialized field of study as well as meet the other criteria important to you. The range of academic options as well as available universities is so wide that it is not possible to select the best one for you instantaneously and it may take some time. The basic steps involved in the process of selecting universities are:

  1. Deciding on the field of education in line with your interests and past academic background.
  2. Assessing your financial capacity and budget.
  3. Selecting universities based on the following criterion:
    • Program Offerings
    • Research programs
    • University Rankings
    • Program Length
    • Cost of Tuition, living expenses, etc.
    • Availability of Financial Assistance to International Students
    • Entrance Requirements

Letters of reference or recommendation letters play a very important part in your admission. A recommendation letter is a combination of subjective and objective evaluation from a person who has known you in an academic or professional capacity.
It should list your positive and negative qualities, strengths, and other relevant information. The referee must indicate their designation, how long he/she has known the applicant, and in what capacity. He/she should briefly discuss the need, importance, and usefulness of the study the applicant proposes to undertake. Authors are usually asked to rank applicants in their letters of recommendation, which helps admission officers to interpret the academic credentials of foreign students. Students should obtain letters of recommendation from teachers who know them as a person as well as a student. You may like to request your author to give concrete examples that may show your qualities.

The personal essays, and/or statement of purpose, play a very important role in the process of evaluating your application for both admissions as well as financial aid because it gives the faculty assessing your application their most significant impression of you as an individual. This section is the key to distinguishing your application from other suitable candidates and a chance to market yourself. A personal statement should include your reasons for choosing a particular course, the suitability of your education and experience for the chosen course, your personal interests, and your career goals. Some courses like Business school courses will have their own essay questions and format. Others may ask for a resume or reasons for applying to that particular course.

You must submit a financial aid application if you desire financial help for your studies in universities abroad. Most of the universities have their own financial aid form, which you would have to complete. Some US state institutions offer tuition waivers to international students in return for some type of educational contribution. You would be required to submit documentation of your family’s financial resources to help schools assess your need: a bank statement or evidence of financial support from your savings organization demonstrating your financial capacity to support your education, to issue the documents needed for visa applications. However, most universities in the US make their admission decisions without regard for the source and amount of financial support.

Universities usually inform students of their admission decisions well in advance of the beginning term. If you have received admission to more than one university, you will have to decide which one you want to attend. At this stage, you should compare a few objective and mostly more subjective criteria. The points you should focus on are program curriculum, length of the program, choice of courses, funding offer or best program with respect to costs, Cost of living, Strength of related departments/program, etc.

Universities usually inform students of their admission decisions well in advance of the beginning term. If you have received admission to more than one university, you may have placement tests to help decide which course-level you need to attend. At this stage, you should compare cost benefits from objective and subjective perspectives. Our consultants guide you on program curriculum, duration, choice of courses, funding offer or best program with respect to costs, cost of living, strength of related departments/program, etc. Each college will tell you exactly what steps to follow to confirm your acceptance of their offer of admission and how to prepare for your first term. This information will be included with the letter of admission or in the materials sent to you shortly thereafter. You must respond with a “Yes” or “No” for each offer of admission. You may also be required to submit a financial deposit to the institution that you plan to attend. This is to guarantee your place in the course. Make sure you do not miss any deadlines

You will be provided with an extensive checklist containing step by step procedures to help you carry out the visa process at your end.
