Are you someone who wants to pursue graduate studies at a US college or university to
get a MS/ME/MBA/Ph.D degree? Are you currently already in a 4 year college studying for a BS degree? (Some 3-year college degree students can apply to attend US graduate school).
Then, this tab, with all of its associated links, is for you. There are three important sections which will direct you to pages throughout the site.
If you want to skip the basics below and jump right to how we can help you, note that we offer a package fee and a separate service for Statement for Purpose development. Please check out our international student page for details.
1. Overview of US Higher Education
In this section we provide a good overview of US Higher Education. Consider showing these pages to your parents or other elders who may be skeptical of your ideas to go to the US to study.
2. Problems of International Students
We believe that as more international students seek to go to the US for higher education, they are increasingly getting a bad deal. They end up making many wrong choices - throughout the admissions process - that will affect them throughout their career. In effect, the return they get on their hard-earned investment is poor. We will show you why this is the case and give you detailed information - all for free - to help you be more successful.
We are management consultants by training and the first step in trying to solve a problem - in this case, the problem is that international students are getting a bad deal on their investment - is to identify its root causes.
3. Our 7-Step Method To Successfully Apply to US Schools
We believe that there's a much better way to prepare, plan and market yourself so that you can go to the right US school. And avoid many of the issues we have outlined in other posts on this site.
There are seven crucial things you have to do to succeed. Yes, these steps take some effort but we are confident that your rewards - not just in school, but after your graduate abroad - will be higher. In many ways, we are advising you to completely change your mindset about the entire process . Our approach combines traditional, old-world methods (when Asian students went to elite US schools in the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's and became one of the most successful ethnic groups in the country) with modern technology to help improve your chance of getting into the right school. We show you how to better define your personal brand, choose the right school based on detailed US macroeconomic and micro economic analyses, and create a killer application package that will help you demand more from your school.
But first, we must remind you that our 7-Step approach constitutes the all-important "Strategy" part of the whole process. What do we mean by strategy? The Businessdictionary.com website defines Strategy as "a method or plan chosen to bring about a desired future, such as achievement of a goal or solution to a problem". This is what our 7-Step approach focuses on.
And then, there are execution and operational details, such as arranging finances; obtaining a student visa; and buying airline tickets. We don't cover these important - though mundane - items on our site. We leave these details to an outstanding website - EducationUSA.info - sponsored by the US Department of State.
Our 7-Step Approach
If you have the time and the aptitude, you will never need to spend a single dime (or whatever your local currency is) for consultant/advisory services throughout the process. You could just use our website (and its recommended links) and EducationUSA to do it all yourself. We will show you how through our 7-step approach:
A US president once said that what plagues American elementary and high school education is the “soft bigotry of low expectations”.
This message is also so apt for the ambitious foreign student wanting to enter the United States. Please don't accept sub-standard or mismatched schools. You are paying a lot of money - often committing the savings of loving parents or even borrowing in their name - to get a shot at a better future. So, demand to get into the right school. Aim higher. And increase your Return on Investment.
We are glad you are here.
