Alina

Pace University

LinguaTrip was recommended to me by a friend and I decided to contact LinguaTrip specialists to assess my opportunities for admission to an American university. I wanted to get a sought-after specialty in the USA that I could study without previous technical education. I was told about STEM programs, which include specialties in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics that are in demand among US employers.

I would definitely advise other students who want to study abroad to consult with a LinguaTrip.com specialist, because it is truly an adequate investment of your time and nerves. It is clear that a specialist will not be able to get into someone else’s head and read thoughts, predict for a person what he wants, take him by the hand and take him to university. Some kind of initiative is also required from the client.

I didn’t quite understand where to start, what programs would suit me and where to look for them. During a consultation at LinguaTrip, I was advised to apply for an MBA in the USA. The specialist noted that with my background I have a chance not only to enroll, but also to receive 100% funding.

When should you start preparing for admission?

At least one year, and preferably two years before the start of training. We also work with students who want to start their studies in the next few months, but the choice of universities is significantly narrowed.

What documents are needed for admission to US universities?

It depends on the university and specialty, but in general the requirements are as follows: exam results (TOEFL, SAT/GMAT/GRE), a copy of the school certificate and/or diploma of higher education, two letters of motivation, two letters of recommendation, a completed university application form.

I don’t have a certificate/diploma yet, can I apply?

Yes, you can submit documents with a certificate of current grades, and send your certificate/diploma afterwards.

How realistic is it to get a scholarship for education?

If you have a high average score and good achievements (olympiads, publications), receiving funding is quite possible. The main thing is to choose the right universities and submit the necessary documents in advance.

What exams do you need to take to enter US universities?

You must pass TOEFL, an English language exam. If you are applying for a bachelor's degree, an additional SAT exam is required, for a master's degree - GRE, for a master's degree in economics - GMAT. We help you prepare for all these exams.

How do I know which program should I go for?

If you finish school, then you need to go for a bachelor's degree. If you already have a bachelor's degree, then you should go to a master's program, and you can safely change your specialty - for example, you received a bachelor's degree in psychology, and you can get a master's degree in economics. If you have a specialist diploma, you can enroll in a master's program, MBA or even PhD.
