I was admitted to George Mason University, and SUNY Buffalo, University. Fortunately, I did not receive any rejections. However, I feel I missed out on applying to a few other colleges that I was interested in like (Indiana University, particularly for this program is very famous) because I was late in submitting my applications. This delay might have affected my chances of exploring more opportunities. I chose this college because of the tuition fees (more affordable comparatively to the other I got admitted to), Visa approval rates were very high. The first college from where I got my admit letter, and since I was already late I didn't want to delay the visa application process. I think the process is pretty simple, I applied by myself, but more than that the university admission office is very helpful at every step. They provide you with detailed guidance about visa interviews and traveling Immigration, online orientations, college tours, and resources. For my program, the only requirements are IELTS a band of around 7(6.5 minimum in each), and a GPA of more than 2.8. I applied for January 2023 for which I started my application at the beginning of August, The Cost of attendance, cost of living, Visa approval rate, and reputation of the university were the key deciding factors. They took 1 month, Initial evaluation and admit letter took 15 days then you have to submit financial letters and all to get I20 which takes 7-10 business days....Read More
