In order to get admitted to a U.S. college or university, students have to meet certain criteria and requirements, regardless of whether studies are within an undergraduate or graduate program. Each institution sets its own admission standards depending on the field of study, program level, and each individual applicant. It’s important to know that entry requirements are subject to change at the time you start filling out the application form.
It is also important to remember that athletic recruitment and sports scholarships follow a slightly different timeline than regular applications, so it is better to start the application process 1-1.5 years before the actual enrolment deadline.

It is advisable to include at least two letters of recommendation in your application package, as they increase your chances of getting admissions.
A personal statement should include your reasons for choosing a particular program, the suitability of education and experience for your chosen field, and your personal interests and goals. The essay or statement of purpose may help you in obtaining both admission and financial aid (if applicable).
Some universities and colleges arrange interviews with prospective students. The interview could be with college representatives, admissions counselors, or alumni of the institution, and may take place on campus or via Skype/telephone. These interviews are usually more informal and do not require much preparation in advance.
