How to get into the best American universities?

Getting into a prestigious American university is a dream for many Indian students but many do not attempt because of the fear for the huge amount of legal work involved. This piece will guide you through the process of obtaining admission in a prestigious university listed in the list of universities in USA

1

         Apply – Giving up a fair fight without even trying is just not fair. Therefore, take the first step of applying to a university. It is not guaranteed that you will get into your choice of university but complaining without even trying is being unreasonable. Therefore, first apply and then take the next step.

2.      Good scores – It is considered wrong to judge a person by their scores but then scores provide some kind of an idea regarding a person’s intelligence in a particular field and therefore the universities use the scores as one of the parameters on which they finalize their students. Therefore, ensure that you work hard enough to get good scores which can land you a seat in the dream college of yours.

3.      Do not restrict yourself to good grades – The American universities are highly selective when it comes to taking in students. Therefore, you need to bring more than good grades on the table which will make them sit up and take notice of you. They look outside the boundaries of the academic curriculum and check how active you are socially and the extracurricular activities you have participated in because they would like to know what is your USP and how can you contribute holistically in the university.

4.      Be genuine in your letter of purpose and other documents related to your subject – They will check for your passion for the subject you have applied for. Therefore, you must highlight your interest and passion for a particular subject.

Ensure that you get your references and other written work cross checked so that you don’t miss out on a golden opportunity because of some silly grammatical mistakes. Good luck!
