Going to study in the USA or in Canada
undergraduate degrees - postgraduate degrees, colleges in the USA - costs of education - international students in the USA and Canada

uniap.com is a site for advice and help to prospective international student applicants to universities in Canada and the USA


Introduction

Are you a foreign student planning to study in the USA? If you are, you will be happy to know that it is the most sought after student destination in the world. Statistics show that during 2001-2003 more than half a million international students studied in various colleges and universities of the country. About half of them pursue a bachelors degree, while the rest completes post graduate and professional degrees.

The approximate Cost of Studying in the USA

The first, and perhaps the most important point to consider is the cost. American education is very expensive and you must have the requisite funds to see you through your project. We give below the approximate costs of the various programs. These are only very rough estimates and are meant to help you take an informed decision about it.

Bachelor Degree (all costs per year)

  Full Time Study Number of Years Range of Tuition Costs per Year for Foreign or out of State Students Board and Logging Other Costs (Books, Transport, Health Insurance, Pocket Money,Clothing Entertainment)
Local Community Colleges (Only a few will accept foreign students and some are not suitable for foreign students) 2 (Most Community Colleges only offer the first two years of a Bachelors degree, then a student has to transfer) $ 5,000 $ 3,000 (only few community colleges have on campus housing) $3,000
State Colleges Minimum 4 $5,800 - 20,000 $3,500 - 5,800 $3,000 - 5,000
Private Colleges Minimum 4 $11,000 - 35,000 $ 5,800 - 10,000 $ 4,000+

Selecting An Institution

This is probably the most perplexing part of the whole process. There are about 3000 accredited (non-accredited ones are aplenty. But the quality of their education varies widely and without local knowledge, following a course in them tends to be risky) colleges and universities with a baffling variety of faculties, quality levels, reputations and locations. What is more, institutions can get better or worse over time and the selection based on past data may not always be relevant. It is virtually impossible for a prospective foreign student to make an intelligent decision unaided. The real problem is to select a school which matches your attainments and educational objectives with what the institution has on offer. Importantly, the chosen one may not be able to accept you for several reasons. The downside of a wrong decision could be tragic waste of huge funds, loss of time and of course demoralization.

Our Services

It is here that our services come to your rescue by virtually leading you, by hand as it were, to the right college, in the right location for the right course. We have three products on offer and a brief description of each is given in the succeeding paragraphs. They do cost money which reflects the cost of the effort and time needed for a thorough job. It need hardly be said that they insure you against the hazards of a defective decision.

The Basic Requirements

If you are not a citizen of the USA, or have not been educated at either a university, college or high school in the United States, and you want to apply for a place at a college or university in the United States, you will require, as a start, the following:

For Undergraduate Studies

  • If English is not your first language or has not been your primary language of education, you will be required to take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). As a rule, a minimum TOEFL score of 175-213 (or 450 on the paper based TOEFL Test) is required. But, the more prestigious universities and colleges will require a considerably higher score.
  • You will need to take the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) and as a general rule, you will require a minimum combined score of at least 1,000, though more prestigious universities will require more. There are also a significant number of colleges which will ask for less. Although, the SAT scores are important, they are not the only factor in determining your ability to get into an USA college or university. A large number of good colleges do not require the SAT, but having completed it will help you.
  • You have to start the application process a considerable time prior to wanting to commence your academic study in the USA. Application deadlines differ from college to college, but as a general rule, international students have to begin their studies in September (Fall semester). Though, an increasing number of schools will also admit international students for the Spring semester, starting in January or the Summer semerster starting in August.
  • You will need to obtain an I-20 Certificate of Eligibility from the school you want to attend. You will only get that, when you are accepted as a student. With the I-20, you will have to apply for an F-1 Student visa at your local United States Consular Office. This visa will allow you to enter the United States and pursue your intended course of study.
  • You will need a minimum of US$ 15,000 to cover the first year of studies at an undergraduate college or university in the United States. Very few colleges, catering for international students offer education, health insurance, general expenses, room and board, for less. Some schools cost considerably more. You will have to show evidence of the availability of such funds to you, to be accepted at a college and to obtain a visa.
