Prospective Students

Applying to be an undergraduate or graduate student in the U.S? Here are some resources that could be of help on your journey.

I wish you the very best!

Undergraduates

The admissions process to U.S schools is very different than most other countries. It is a well-rounded process, and every part of your applications needs to meet their standards. Check these YouTube Playlists on different components of the application process!

Answering Application Questions

When and why should you apply? Should you take the SAT? What type of visa will you need? These are all questions that we can dive into together

Graduate Students

Applying to graduate school brings new complexities to the table! The components like essays and recommendations are weighed more than undergrad. As someone who went through this process successfully and learnt a lot, I am very happy to share what I learnt along the way!

The Grad School Application Timeline

​

How you decide to spend your application year can affect the quality of your applications! Intentionality is very important to have enough time to prepare your materials and get sufficient feedback as well. This is the timeline that worked for me:

The Graduate School Search

​

The schools you choose to apply to determine where you end up and have huge implications on your entire career journey! It is important to dedicate time to make a strategic and well-informed list. I created a spreadsheet that helped me stay organized and keep track of the schools I was looking into. I have a 3-part series where I break down the process that I used to find my schools and here is part 1:​

Graduate School Essays​

​

Essays are arguably the part of your application you should pay the most attention to! They will be deeply analyzed to see if you are a good fit for every school you apply to both as a person and as an intellectual. From my recommended timeline, you should spend your summer reviewing and rewriting your essays. I made a document breaking down the essence of each essay as well as resources that really helped me be happy with my own:​
