This university or college application timeline is a general guideline for international students applying to universities or colleges in the USA. It is important to stick to the schedule and find the best coursework help service in the future in advance. Each university and college sets its deadlines for international student submission of applications and supporting documents.

If you are applying for a program that starts in September, you will want to begin in about April of the year before your program starts. That's about 12 18 months of preparation and planning time.

For example, for a US university or college program beginning in September:

April-June:

Start researching institutions

Based on what you want to study and where, pick 5-7 universities or colleges and evaluate them according to what's important to you in terms of courses, location, size, cost, etc.

Start researching financial assistance

Scholarships for international students are competitive, so start looking for (and applying to if necessary) possible scholarships or other funding early.

July-August:

Contact the universities

Pick your top 4- 6 universities or colleges and contact their admissions offices to request information, international student application packages, financial aid forms, and to make sure you know exactly what they need from you to apply.

Plan your tests

Most universities and colleges in the USA will require international students to submit scores from standardized language tests. Once you know which tests each university accepts, get the information you need to register to write the tests.

August-October:

Fill out your university applications

Fill out, carefully and thoughtfully, all of the required application forms. Get someone to look them over, since you don't want to submit an application with errors!

Start gathering the required supporting documents

Universities and colleges in the USA will usually require official transcripts, in translation if necessary, from the last educational institution you attended (or are currently attending), as well as reference letters, proof of citizenship, and possibly other documentation. There is usually a deadline for the submission of these documents, so begin getting them together early.

Plan to pay your application fee

Universities and colleges in the USA require international applicants to pay an application fee of anywhere between $50 and $100. Find out what methods of payment the schools accept and make the necessary arrangements to have the money accessible.
