Synopsis

"The book is a useful source of Comprehensive Information for anyone who goes through the rigour of applying for admissions in the US." -Dr. Ruchi Seth, Principal, Lotus Valley International School

This is the first ever book published by a Recent Applicant!

The process of applying for undergraduate education to US universities can be a stressful time, especially if you do not have any idea about the process. You may feel scared about your future, and since everyone advises you different paths, you start to feel confused as well. However, this does not have to be your reality. By getting to know the exact process to follow and what all to do, you can easily gain control of your applications.The application process in the United States is holistic, which means that universities there look beyond just your academic performance and get a gist of your personality though various areas in your application where you tell them about yourself in your own voice.These areas include- your personal information, family information, information about the clubs and activities you performed, your academic scores, standardized test scores, your essays, etc.Since each application you send out has limited space available, you need to be able to choose what to write from your life experiences and be able to gauge how to portray yourself in these experiences to the admissions officers at your dream college or university.The chapters in the book would make it clear to you how you should strategize your applications and how to personalize each application to each university you apply, along with which timeline is best suited for your application.I have also listed out the common pitfalls and mistakes which I have seen in my application and as well as in my friends’ applications. You should definitely read at least this section to avoid making these costly mistakes yourself.

All factors are taken into consideration when universities make decisions, so do not leave any required or recommended area, thinking it is not required.
