The United States tops the list of the most sought-after study destinations with more than one-third of the world's top 100 universities in the country. For study-abroad aspirants, the USA is one of the best and most popular choices: Indian students account for 18% of the total international student population in the United States. This is because US universities are the gold-standard for higher education, offering a large variety of exciting program options and unmatched academic flexibility, giving students a chance to explore their interests inside and outside the classroom.
Getting admission to top US universities is no piece of cake, and things tend to get competitive as people around the world are vying for a spot in the best universities. That’s where Jamboree comes in: we guide you through the application and post-admission stages of your journey and help you achieve your dreams!

But there’s no need to fret: most colleges and universities in the US offer substantial scholarships and financial aid to international students.

The process of applying to US universities is very different from that of Indian universities. Unlike India, US universities accept students in two intakes, namely, Fall and Spring. Furthermore, public and private universities in the USA have different application processes. For accurate information on admissions policies, be sure to thoroughly check the websites of all universities you’re applying to.
There are a few common application materials that Indian students need to submit for admission to US universities:
Standardised test scores
A good overall GPA
Written application materials including essays and SOPs
Letters of Recommendation from academic and job supervisors
English language proficiency test scores
Based on the program you are applying to, you will either have to apply separately for each university, or through common aggregator platforms for US universities.
Tuition fees in the US can vary significantly. It is hard to pin down the exact amount as public universities and private universities charge tuition and other costs differently. However, it is estimated that studying in the US as an international student will cost you anywhere between USD 25,000 and USD 60,000 per year.
For undergraduate or bachelor programs at US universities, the earlier you start working on your applications, the better are your chances of making it into your dream university. Application deadlines for undergraduate programs generally fall between July and September (for the Spring intake), and between October and January (for the Fall intake) each year. If you want to begin university in the Fall semester of next year, you must apply by September of the current year, that is, you have to apply at least one year in advance.
Studying in the USA is expensive, however most international students apply for and receive scholarships from universities and colleges. Students have to fill a separate form to apply for scholarships as scholarship deadlines are earlier than regular decision deadlines. If you have decent high school GPAs and good standardised scores, your chances of getting a scholarship are higher.
Usually, universities mention a minimum TOEFL score requirement to apply. Generally speaking, however, a TOEFL score over 100 is desirable for applying to good universities in the US.
