College Application Form
Your Most Important Step to Becoming an International Student at an American University
Application Services for International Students
The application process for admission to colleges or universities in the United States is often underestimated by international students in terms of the time it requires. Avoiding this oversight entails establishing a well-structured schedule that commences sufficiently ahead of the intended start of studies.
In setting your timetable, prioritizing an early start is paramount. It is essential to allocate ample time for comprehensive research into institutions or programs aligning with your academic and professional aspirations. Moreover, adhering to application deadlines is crucial, as they may fall up to ten months before the commencement of the academic term.
Particularly for institutions with competitive admissions, the application procedure demands considerable time and dedication. Tasks such as drafting personal statements and soliciting recommendations from mentors or individuals familiar with your academic journey are integral. Even when utilizing online platforms like the Common Application, initiating the process promptly is advisable. While university websites and other academic online resources facilitate swift access to requisite application forms, ample time is still necessary for thorough research, communication with referees and institutions for recommendations and transcripts, and registration for mandatory standardized tests to meet application deadlines.

Typically, you must fulfill the requirement of attending school full-time for two consecutive semesters (equivalent to 9 months and 18 credit hours) before becoming eligible for a study break. However, it’s worth noting that certain institutions may not incorporate scheduled summer breaks into their curriculum. Therefore, the availability of such breaks depends on the specific policies of the school you’re enrolled in.
Do I Need to Extend My Visa if It’s Valid for Two Years?
Having a two-year visa doesn’t necessarily imply that you must return to your home country after two years. You’re permitted to remain in the US for the duration required to complete your education. The visa’s duration pertains to the period during which you can enter the US borders, not the length of your stay within the country.
