The sooner you apply, the sooner you will be considered for acceptance.
Once you have been admitted, we will send you an acceptance letter, an I-20 and other pre-arrival information.
Please be aware that unless you have made prior arrangements with us, you will need to pay a $200 SEVIS fee to the US government before you are able to schedule an interview for your visa at the US consulate.
Keep in mind that obtaining a visa may take as long as two months depending on your home country, so please allow enough time for it!
