Eligibility & Intakes for United States

Most US universities admit students across three intakes each year - Fall (August/September), Spring (January) and Summer (May) - with Fall being the primary intake offering the widest range of programs and scholarships.

General eligibility requirements

Bachelor's programs typically require completed high school (10+2) with a strong academic record and SAT scores where applicable, along with proof of English proficiency through IELTS or TOEFL.

Master's and MBA programs generally require a relevant bachelor's degree, competitive GRE or GMAT scores, letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose, and English proficiency scores.

Cost of Living in the United States

Tuition fees and living costs in the US vary widely by state and city, with public universities generally more affordable than private institutions, and smaller college towns costing less than major metros like New York or San Francisco.

Budgeting for your US education

Students should budget for tuition, on-campus or off-campus housing, food, health insurance, books and local transport, with many universities offering on-campus jobs and assistantships to help offset costs.

Our counsellors help you plan a realistic budget and explore scholarships and education loan options, so finances don't become a barrier to your US education plans.
