RANKING AND ACCREDITATION
Rankings can be based subjectively on quality, combination of statistics or surveys of educators, scholars, students or others. In addition to
rankings of institutions, there are also rankings of specific academic programs, departments and schools. Rankings are conducted by magazines
newspapers and in some instances by academic practitioners. There is No Official Ranking system in USA. Ranking is not the only factor to be
considered while choosing a university.
Accreditation is a another factor that one must consider. Accreditation assures the quality of the postsecondary education the student receives.
It is simply an assurance that a program or institution meets established quality standards and normally given by an academic body or
association. Edwise ensures that the best institution match for you is achieved in view of your qualifications and career plans.

LIVING EXPENSES
When calculating the cost of education living expenses play a critical role. On an average, a student spends approx $15000 – $18000/year. But
the expenses also depend on the place where a student stays i.e. if a student stays in metropolitan city like New York, San Francisco, Manhattan,
etc the expenses could go up to $20000 in comparison to a student studying in a suburban area where the expenses are around $10000 to
$12000 / year.
ACCOMODATION
Most of the educational institutions will assist you in finding accommodation while studying in USA. Accommodation are of two types i.e. a
student can stay on campus (Halls of Residence/Students hostel) or Off Campus (Home stay, Apartments/Flats). Staying Off Campus is much
more cheaper than staying On Campus but it is always advisable that the student should stay on campus for the first six months.
SCHOLARSHIP/ FINANCIAL AID
Scholarships & financial aid - fee waivers are awarded to international students on the criteria of merit & need
of it. Candidate with strong academics, good performance on standardized exams & extra curricular
achievements would be eligible for scholarship, awards & financial assistance. To benefit from these
opportunities, one has to make sure to send all the required documents by particular deadlines. In addition to
this, the presentation of the application package is also important because one is judged by the image one
projects.
There are various types of Scholarships:
4
Fellowship-Scholarship:This is usually offered on the student’s ability, competence & performance.
4
Graduate Assistantship: Generally it may involve a teaching or research assistantship. Students
receive aid, in the form of cash stipend or a tuition fee waiver or reduced tuition fee.
4
Sports Scholarship: Though seldom offered to international students, athletic or sports scholarships are available in a wide range to
outstanding and talented athletes.
The other factor that can enhance the probability of getting the scholarship is the credit evaluation. The evaluation converts the Indian grades in
the GPA system.
PART TIME JOBS ON CAMPUS/ WORK AFTER COURSE
International students can take up on campus jobs. They are allowed to work 20 hrs per week during semester (on campus). On campus jobs
may include teaching assistantship or research assistantship where a student is paid $8 to $10 per hour. Thus student earns $ 500-$ 600 per
month or can get a waiver in tuition fees. With this, a student can also do internship in the related field which may be paid. During vacation the
student is allowed to work for 40 hrs per week. On completion of the course, student is allowed to work for 1yr popularly known as OPT
(Optional Practical Training). Students with certain degrees in STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering an Mathematics) field are allowed to
work for 29 months. On completion of the their OPT, the student can later apply on a H1 visa (work permit visa) for work.
INDUSTRY
USA is one of the strongest economies of the world. Majority of Americans derive most part of their income from occupational earnings. In the
United States, the highest earning occupational groups are the white collar professionals including manager, physicians, mathematicians,
software publishers, computer engineers, hospitality sector, etc. USA has also been on the forefront in the telecom, medicine, health care and
genetics.
VISA
Getting admission is not all; the Visa comes as the greatest test in USA. All the efforts come to a
dead end if you do not present your case effectively and boldly at Visas. We provide comprehensive
VISA guidance, which includes verifying the financial statement, latest updates on VISA
requirements , mock interviews, etc which are all important.

Q.

Q.
A.
What is the transfer student concept?
A transfer option is to complete at least 1 to 2 years of the Bachelors / Diploma program in any country and then apply for a transfer to the
University that a student wants to attend in USA. The years waived off in your transfer status will depend on the courses covered in India
and the grades for the same. It is rare that one can get exact transfer of credits.
Should I apply only to Top Ten Universities?
The acceptance ratio of top ten Universities is only 1% - 4%. Therefore, in order to improve your chances of admission, you should also
apply to other Universities that offer good programs. Also the entry requirements are extremely stringent for such institutions. One must
always remember that Ranking can be world wide, region based and even subject based. If one is looking for a ranked university, search
should be subject based.
I have completed 15 years of education in India. Can I get admission for MBA directly in USA?
Most American Universities require 16 years of education for admission into an MBA or any other Graduate program. It is therefore
advisable to complete M.Com / M.A/ M.Sc. or at least one year of any Masters Degree before taking admission in an American University.
Some top ranked Universities can take you with 15 yrs. of education with 2-3 years of relevant work experience. Edwise however has a
list of those institutions that would enroll students after 15 years of education directly.
Can I get financial assistance?
Yes definitely, but getting financial assistance in the first semester is extremely competitive and you
need to have an extremely good academic and test score to be qualified. There are number of good
cases where we have helped student's secure full financial assistance. If you have an outstanding
academic background and test scores, Edwise Counselors will try their best to get you financial aid
What about shifting school once I get there?
Once you are in the US, you are governed by the USCIS rule. According to this rule, you cannot
change the school before completing one semester at the school. It is advisable that you make your
choice carefully to avoid problems at a later date.
Is only TOEFL applicable for USA; can a student also take IELTS?
Yes, a student can take IELTS instead of TOEFL. As 2500 Universities have started accepting IELTS,
these universities being the top ones.
