Studying in the United States is a life-changing opportunity. With world-class universities, diverse courses, and excellent career prospects, the USA remains a top destination for international students.

If you’re planning to study in the USA, this guide will walk you through each important step from choosing the right university to preparing for your visa and departure.

Before anything else, ask yourself:

• What do I want to study?

• Do I want to pursue a bachelor’s, master’s, or diploma program?

• What type of university environment suits me — a big city, a smaller town, a public or private university?

Once you have clarity, begin researching institutions that match your academic background and future goals.

Not all universities in the USA are the same. Some specialize in research, others in practical learning. Some focus on international students, while others have stricter entry requirements.

Things to consider while shortlisting:

• Course availability

• Admission criteria

• Location

• University ranking

• International student support services

Falcon Education helps students create a customized list based on their academic profile and preferences.

To apply for universities in the USA, you will need:

• Academic transcripts and certificates

• English language test scores (IELTS/TOEFL)

• A strong Statement of Purpose (SOP)

• Letters of Recommendation

• Resume or CV (if required)

• Valid passport

Each university may ask for slightly different documents, but the above are generally standard.

At Falcon, we offer complete support in preparing these documents especially the SOP and LORs, which play a key role in your selection.

Once your documents are ready, submit your applications on time. Most US universities accept online applications through their portals or common platforms.

Falcon ensures that every application is submitted accurately and within deadlines. We also track your admission status and help respond to any university queries.

If selected, the university will issue an Offer Letter. After you accept the offer and meet any financial/documentation requirements, you’ll receive the I‑20 Form — a crucial document for your visa process.

The USA issues F‑1 visas for academic programs. To apply:

1. Pay the SEVIS fee

2. Fill out the DS‑160 visa application form

3. Schedule a visa appointment at the US Embassy

4. Appear for an interview with all required documents

Falcon’s visa experts will train you for your interview and help compile your complete file to improve your chances of success.

With your visa approved, you’re almost ready!
