How it works?

Application for admission to the U.S. universities 
Applying to American universities is a daunting task for those not familiar with the application system. The U.S. has more than 800 universities that offer courses most sought after by the Indian students. Like computer science, bio-sciences, arts, commerce, accounting, management, engineering and medicine etc. So how does one shortlist 5-6 universities that suit one's profile from a list of 500-600?

Here in comes into picture the expertise of our counselors. You walk into our office with your degrees and certificates and the rest is taken care of by us. We will study your  profile in detail, and suggest you the universities that are most suitable to your specific profile and where there is a reasonably good chance of you being accepted for     admission, possibly with financial aid. The parameters that we consider into arriving at this list include, but not limited to, the university you attended in India, the degrees you earned, the GPA you earned, your research experience, your work experience, your recommendation letters etc. We also take into account your financial resources as well as any location preference that you may have in the U.S. Once we have short listed suitable universities for you, we will do the complete documentation involved in the application process. This typically includes the online application filing, drafting the all-importantl Statement of Purpose, relevant and to-the-point recommendation letters, a professional resume, any research papers you may have published, degree transcripts, affidavit of support, bank and financial documents etc.

Once you have applied to 5-6 universities, we expect 3-4 of them to admit you, possibly 1-2 with financial aid. At this stage our experienced counselors will help you in selecting the one university that would be most suitable for you and for which you may apply for the student visa. The factors that are considered in arriving at this decision may vary from case to case, but certain parameters like the reputation of the university, the faculty, the research profile and the funding available etc. are common to all   candidates.

Visa application and Interview

After you have decided which university you will attend, comes the most difficult stage of the entire application process. Getting that coveted F1 visa. Yes, getting an American student visa is more difficult than getting student visas of other countries like UK, Australia, NZ, France Germany, Singapore etc. Remember there are more students applying for the U.S. visa that any other visa in the world. And consequently there are more rejections of U.S. student visa applications than any other student visa in the world.

However on our part, we at Destination America make sure that you give your best shot at the interview and come out a winner! We will ensure that all your documentation is impeccable, that you are prepared to answer the questions that the Consular Officer may ask, and that you are well acquainted with the whole interview process through our mock interview sessions.
