University Education

Why Study in the USA?

Every year hundreds of thousands of international students go abroad for their education, and undoubtedly United States comes on the top of the list for most. Variety of universities, colleges for every budget, and native language being English are only a few reasons why students come to America to complete, or add to their education degree.

General Requirements for International Students

English Proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS)
All international students who apply from a non-English speaking country must show proof of English proficiency. The minimum requirements of every college is different, but it ranges from TOEFL iBT 65 to 98 or IELTS 5.5 to 7. Some colleges may require you to take additional course work to help you improve your English before you start taking regular classes based on your TOEFL or IELTS score.

High School GPA (Grade Point Average)
One of the most important requirements to apply to an American university are your high school grades. Like we mentioned earlier, every school has different requirements, but the range for minimum application varies between low 2.5 to 3.5. Some universities will give an automatic rejection if the GPA does not meet the minimum requirement of the school.

SAT/ACT Scores
Another important part of a college application is your SAT/ACT score. SAT and ACT are two different test that measure your Mathematics, English and Science (ACT Only) knowledge. Some of the universities may require you to have a score in hand before your application to be considered, especially the colleges in top 100.

Additional Materials
If you are looking to apply to top universities, be prepared to have a challenge. Due to the limited space available for freshman applications, many top universities will consider each additional material you hand as a bonus. This is where your Olympiad medals, volunteer work, sports team participation are all considered to your advantage. Especially top 50 universities see these social activities as important as your high school GPA or test scores.

College Counseling

Educational counseling in the U.S. is a highly individualized process, with the goal of producing the best possible match between each student and the university that best fits the student. Like much of everyday life on campus, the creation of that ideal match is a very personal, labor-intensive learning experience. Each student works closely with his or her counselor at Metropolitan Education to explore the many talents and interests that he or she has developed over the years, to set goals based on those talents and interests, and to research and find the colleges that will help him or her achieve those goals.
