If you can, gousa visa center suggests visiting every school you are applying to, at least go
online and take a virtual tour of the campus. Does it feel comfortable enough that you can
spend the next four years of your life there? What about six to eight years for your graduate
work?
Every college has unique requirements
Everything in America tends to be unique and different, whether you are picking out a car or a cell
phone or groceries or selecting a college for your education – every experience is going to be a little
different and everybody and everything likes to stand out and be considered an improvement here.
One of the main differences in higher education in the USA is that our education system is not
centralized like it is in many countries. Admission requirements for colleges vary greatly from one
college to the next in the USA.
Your academic background will be looked at differently by every university so it will be helpful to
understand these different viewpoints. For example, there are three prevailing grading systems; the
4.0 scale, the % system, and the letter grade methods. Which system are your #1, #2, and #3
college choices using?
A last word on being competitive
To increase your chances of being admitted to the college of your choice, gousavisacenter
recommends completing a program of study that qualifies you for admission to colleges in your
home country as a foundation of your experience and knowledge.
