You should now have a shortlist of colleges that match your needs,
interests, and abilities. You should also feel confident that you
have the minimum entrance requirements for studying in the United
States and that you can meet the costs of a U.S. undergraduate
education. Now it's time to start putting together your
applications.
The entire application process, from obtaining initial information
to applying for your student visa, should begin 12 to 18 months in
advance of when you want to go the United States. See 'The
Application Process' for a summary of the timeframe for applying to
U.S. universities. It is possible to complete the process in less
than 12 months but late applicants usually find they have a much
more limited choice of colleges. |
