Prepare for Standardised Tests
Most US MS programmes require GRE (target 315+) and TOEFL (target 100+) or IELTS (target 7.0+). Start 4–6 months before your application deadline.
Research and Build Your University List
Create a balanced list of 8–12 universities: 2–3 ambitious, 4–5 target, and 2–3 safe schools. Abrobot's AI builds this list based purely on your profile — no commission bias.
Prepare Your Documents
Core documents: transcripts (official copies), GRE/TOEFL scores, 3 LORs (2 academic + 1 professional preferred), updated CV/resume, and financial documents for the visa.
Write Your Statement of Purpose (SOP)
Tailor your SOP for each university. Explain: why this programme, why this school, what you have done, and what you will do after. Avoid generic SOPs — admissions committees see thousands.
Request Letters of Recommendation
Ask professors and managers 6–8 weeks before the deadline. Provide them with your CV, SOP draft, and specific points you want them to highlight. Follow up professionally.
Submit Applications & Pay Fees
Most applications go through the university's own portal. Application fees range from $50–$120. Apply Round 1 (August–October) for best scholarship chances.
After Admission — Get Your F-1 Visa
Once admitted: get your I-20 form from the university, pay the SEVIS fee, schedule your F-1 visa interview at the US Consulate, and prepare supporting financial documents.
