note
In the USA there is no such difference between college and university, as, for example, in Russia. Since in both educational institutions you can get higher education. The difference is only in the scale of the university. The university most often combines several diverse colleges.
When choosing a university, pay attention to whether it provides financial support to its students. Otherwise, you will have to pay for your education yourself.
You can enter a university in the USA as a student of a Russian university. For this, when submitting documents, it is necessary to attach a notarized and previously translated into English list of ratings.
Useful advice
Application form, or questionnaire, often includes a number of questions that require a detailed answer. It is on the basis of the answers received that the university admissions committee makes an idea about the applicant, about his personal qualities.
You need to prepare for admission to a US university in advance - for 12-18 months. Documents are best sent between August and October. The decision on admission is made at the end of spring, and in January it is better to make sure that they were received by the college.
Speak out a request for financial support in advance, since students enrolled at the expense of the institution are credited relatively earlier - at the end of winter. By the way, some universities offer applicants a discount of up to 50%.
