Hello all, I have almost completed my studies in India and want to go to US for college studies. This is really raising tensions with me. I have talked to some good resources and they have advised me about the admission process there. I need to know more on this and so any kind of help or information on college admissions for US education would be very helpful. Please provide your suggestions.

Well, seems like everyone is going there for studies! This is good. I have a friend who attends Yale (a top US school) and was really pleased after going through the preparation that included a lot of practice material which you can find on applicationbootcamp’s guide. I think that you can collect all the required information from this guide which may be of a good help for you..

At the US college I attend the out of state tuition is really outrageous compared to the instate cost, this is a state college though. You might check on the costs in general of where you want to go and see if hanging in state for a year may save you money, but otherwise follow your bliss.

Skip the US, come to New Zealand! The exchange rate should make it a bit cheaper, and where I live I´m an hour from the beach in one direction and an hour from a skifield in the other... :)

This is actually pretty good advice. New Zealand has a great university system, and of course, it's located in idyllic New Zealand.

International applications to the US are very competitive, and if you get in, it'll be very expensive (think $25k - $30k). However, if you have your heart set in going to the US, you might want to tell us a bit more about yourself so we can help you better. Like if you're applying for Undergrad or Grad School, and what you want to study.
