Lowell NancyU.S. universities accept applicants over the age of 17, although some (no more than 10 percent) have a different requirement of 20 years of age or older.
Universities always give preference to native applicants, and foreign applicants are allowed 2-10 percent of the total number of students enrolled. The most popular undergraduate destinations among international students in the United States are:
- Law;
- Finance;
- Psychology;
- Architecture and Urban Planning;
- Medicine.
And despite the fact that studying in America for international students is very expensive (30-60% more expensive than for Americans), the number of applications for admission is always tens and even hundreds of times more than possible places.
Bachelor’s degree can be obtained not only at the university, but also in college – it is less prestigious, but the quality of education is not lower. When choosing an institution, prospective American students are guided by the following points:
The specifics of the curriculum;
The prestige of the institution among potential employers;
Ratings by country, country, world, and major;
Equipment, location, and orientation of the university;
Admission requirements and cost of education.
An undergraduate degree in the United States is expensive, even if the degree is from a college.
Financially, many institutions provide incredible assistance to their undergraduate students:
give grants and scholarships for those who have distinguished themselves in academic, athletic, or social life – cover 50-100% of their tuition for the year;
Provide on-campus jobs;
pay tuition by installments if the student is in a difficult situation;
If a student is diagnosed with a serious health problem, U.S. universities cover part of the cost of treatment.
Any student (including international students) who has achieved good results in the current period can get an impressive tuition discount for the next year/semester.
