class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>1. Submit Your Application<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Complete the application online through the Common Application platform. Pay the non-refundable $90 fee and double-check your form for errors or missing details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>2. Provide Your Transcripts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You are required to provide your secondary\/certificate transcripts where you have completed your 11th grade or any other educational certification. If your documents are non-US based, upload them for a US-based company to review, and we will send out a provisional document requesting the completion of the relevant documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>3.

Band scores will suffice for IELTS, which requires a minimum of 6.5 points. Duolingo tests for English and SAT scores also suffice for supplementary fulfillment as SAT\/ACT marks are applicable for exams in the years 2025-2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>4. Provide Financial Proof<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, submit a recent bank statement that accounts for the $41,410 hefty tuition fees, and if someone is sponsoring you, attach their Affidavit of Support. In the case that a person is sponsoring you, please include their Affidavit of Support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>5. Submit Immigration Documents<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, submit other immigration supporting materials or any other immigration support papers, including that of your visa, e.g., SEVIS I-20, DS-2019, and I-94.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_Dates_and_Deadlines\"><\/span><a><\/a>Important Dates and Deadlines<strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Missing deadlines can affect your chances of admission.
