Once, you have decided to study in USA, carry out the following steps:
Collection Of Documents: The first step is to prepare a file containing the documents required for the admission, depending upon your academic background and the program for which the admission is sought. The usual types of documents are:
Matriculation and 10+2 certificates and mark sheets.
Bachelor degree certificate and mark sheets of all the years/semesters.
Master degree certificate and mark sheets of all the years/semesters.
Any diploma or certificate course which you have done or in progress and its syllabus or course description.
Proof of work experience if you have worked before.

Submission of application: Once, you have completed the preliminary application, fax the same along with the above documents. (Fax No: 1-866-818-5450. The other possibility is to scan the application and the documents and email to us as an attachment. email: drkhepar@beststudyusa.com
Documents Needed: Based on the initial screening of your application, our consultants will advise further action. You will have to supply a number of documents along with the application to be submitted to the concerned university.
1. Transcripts: The admission office will specify the official records required to document the previous education such as duration of the course, number of classes held, and the grades received and your academic performance relative to the other students. The admission office may ask the school to furnish the information in prescribed forms. The school will send the information directly to the admission office or will handover the same to the candidate under a sealed cover for further transmission to the admission office. All documents will have to be in English. The documents in language other than English will have to be translated in English and to be certified by an acceptable agency.
The academic qualification obtained outside USA need to be evaluated to find out their equivalence to the US qualification. This may be done by the admission office or you can be asked to get the same evaluated from an external agency specified by the admission office, the cost of which is met by the candidate.
2. Standard Scores: Almost all the institutions demand proficiency in English language, certified through a valid and acceptable IELTS or TOFEL score. The students will be asked to furnish scores of the respective test.
3. Financial Statement: As a student, it is your responsibility to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds available to cover all educational and living expenses while you are studying at US/ Canadian university. In addition, you must provide bank statements in your father’s name to show that the money for at least the first year is in the bank. The statement should be a computer printout showing debit and credit entries over the last six months. The average balance during the last six months should not be less than the funds required for the first year. The issue of F-1 visa can be considered only, if you have required funds to meet the total expenses during the first year of the study. If you don’t have sufficient funds, you can take loan from the nationalized banks for education.
4. Personal motivation statement (Also known as Essay or statement of purpose) When you apply for admission, you are required to submit a personal statement as part of your application. This personal statement is a very important part of your application for both admission and scholarships and should be given special time and attention.
The purpose of the personal statement is to give you an opportunity to tell the admission office important things about yourself that are not addressed or apparent in the application. In making decisions about admission and scholarships, the university considers your personal attributes and gain some sense of who you are; your experiences, accomplishments, and a variety of qualities such as motivation, self-discipline, leadership, commitment to others, as well as your academic record. In addition, you should include your intended field of study and your career goals. The following suggestions are made as guide lines for writing the personal motivation statement.
Describe the world you come from - for example, your family, community or School - and tell how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations.
Tell about a personal quality, talent, accomplishment, contribution or experience that is important to you. What about this quality or accomplishment makes you proud and how does it relate to the person you are?
Note: Read carefully the instructions of the admission office regarding writing the personal statement. Usually the write up should be less than 1,000 words total. 5. Recommendation letters: Every part of your application, builds an image of your personality in the minds of the admissions committee. The recommendation letters provide a third person’s perspective on the kind of person you are. What a recommendation letter writes about you should add or supplement what you claim to be through your essays/SOP- statement of purpose and work experience details. The admission office may ask for three letters of recommendation. You should get the three letters of recommendations from the Principal, Department head and one of the teachers respectively. Ask each of them to cover the following in the recommendation letter.
Explain how you know the applicant. How long have you known the person and in what relationship or circumstance?
List the applicant's exceptional qualities and skills, especially those that are specific to the applicant's field of interest. For example, competency in his/her field or prior experience, organizational and communication skills, academic or other achievements, interaction with others, sound judgment, reliability, analytical ability, etc.
Give your judgment of the applicant, his/her qualifications and potential. Why should he/she be considered over other people? How does he/she compare to other people you have known? Do not state weaknesses.
Give specific examples to back up what you have said about the person's qualifications and character. Remember, generalized praise is a waste of space.
Unless it is absolutely relevant, do not state (directly or by implication) the applicant's race, religion, national origin, age, disability, gender or marital status.
Don't be too brief. One or two short paragraphs are death to a recommendation letter. On the other hand, be succinct. Make every word count. Here is a rule of thumb: a letter of recommendation for admission should be 1-2 pages.
Make the ending statement strong without overdoing it. Undo praise can be viewed as biased or insincere.
List your contact information if you are willing to field follow-up correspondence.
Proofread! The letter of recommendation represents both you and the applicant.
A completed and signed DS-158 Form only if you are applying for a F-1or M-1 visa.
F-1 Visas: Together with the mandatory documents, you must bring the following supporting documents:
Original SEVIS generated I-20 Form, signed by you and a school official. Please bring both pages of this bar-coded form.
Proof of payment of the ($100) SEVIS fee, also known as the "SEVIS I-901 fee"
Proof of funds to cover your first year's tuition and living expenses and evidence that money will be available to cover the remaining year(s) of study.
Original certificates, diplomas, mark sheets and transcripts from educational institutions you previously attended.
