You should now have a shortlist of colleges that match your
needs, interests, and abilities. You should also feel confident
that you have the minimum entrance requirements for studying
in the United States, and that you can meet the costs of a
U.S. undergraduate education. Now it's time to start putting
together your applications. This chapter gives practical information
and advice to help you make successful applications to the
colleges of your choice.
The entire application process, from obtaining initial information
to applying for your student visa, should begin 12 to 18 months
in advance of when you want to go the United States. See 'The
Application Process' for a summary of the timeframe for
applying to U.S. universities. It is possible to complete
the process in less than 12 months but late applicants usually
find they have a much more limited choice of colleges.
