1.Here are some tips for applying to US colleges.
Why are American universities so expensive?
First of all,I'll say that American education is expensive for Americans but you're getting a high-quality education from some of the best professors in the world with some of the best resources and facilities in the world.American universities have state-of-the-art laboratories,computers,research systems,classrooms and all that is expensive.And also at many U.S.universities,you're learning from leading researchers and people who are at the top of the line in their field so it's also expensive for universities to have those people as professors.So,you're paying for a quality product-that's why it's very expensive.
What kind of financial aid is available?
It really depends on the university what kind of financial aid is available.There are a lot of opportunities out there for international students.There are some universities that have merit-based scholarships.Many have scholarships in general for international students.There are athletic scholarships,scholarships based on a specific talent.
Are school rankings important?
I know that rankings matter to a lot of parents and students worldwide,but here in the U.S.we pay very little attention to rankings.The rankings that are produced are actually the opinion of several different magazines.The official government doesn't have a universal ranking system.With that said,we know that for many families abroad and outside the United States,rankings are very important.So as a university,we try to make that information available so that students can see our rankings.
How can I prepare for the visa interview?
As long as you are a genuine student,it's likely that you will receive your visa.When you go for the interview they're looking for generally three things.
One,of course,when you go into that visa interview,you should really know things about the university that you're going to,why you're going there,why you want to study,what you want to study-that's how you show that you're a genuine student.
The second thing that they're looking for is to be sure that you have the finances to cover your educational program.You'll have to submit the same bank documentation you used in order to get your I-20to the U.S.Embassy as part of your interview to prove that you are able to pay for your education in the U.S.
The next thing that they're mainly looking for is to be sure that you're a legitimate student and that you're not looking to move to the United States,that you have a reason to return to your home country,prospective employment.
