Here is a step-by-step guide on how to apply to US Universities.

Greetings to you all. This post can be found on Opportunities Corners. In today’s article, we will discuss how to apply to American universities. Many students desire to study in the United States but lack information about the admissions process, how to choose a college or university, or the scholarships available in the country, and how to apply. As a result, many students approach brokers and fall prey to their scams. Application costs are often too high for agents. I want to tell you a straightforward way to help you.

Before Applying to US Universities, Don’t Do This (ALERT)

Avoid getting scammed by agents.
Many agencies these days charge huge fees from students in return for the assurance that they will be admitted to an American university. They will use chat GPT and copyrighted content to complete the fictitious application fee.

Not all agents are the same, but most of them will probably overcharge. You can apply in person if you have all the necessary paperwork including letters of recommendation, academic credentials, language tests, and good academic records. No agent is required.

Some US universities ignore the GRE and IELTS.

After COVID, the majority of US universities exempted international students from the GRE requirement. If you have a previous degree in English, you are exempt from the TOEFL and IELTS requirements.

How to Apply to US Colleges

I will walk you through a very simple application process. You can do it alone and will not need the help of an agent.

You can submit a single application to multiple application sites for the US. Submit your letters of recommendation, transcripts, school records, and essays through these application portals. You can apply to multiple US universities with just one click.

I’ll give you an overview of a few major platforms with demos.

1) Common App

The Common App has been adopted by thousands of universities and colleges. A standard online application called the Common App enables students to apply to multiple schools and universities at once. It has universities not only in the US but also in the UK and Europe.

There is no cost. This platform is free. They will also ask about your financial information upon application. If you live in Pakistan and earn Rs., you don’t even need to pay the university application fee.

2) SUNY App for State University of New York
