United States
Nowhere else offers this much choice — and nowhere else rewards a strong profile as sharply. The trade-off is cost and a longer runway.
No national threshold: you evidence the figure on your I-20, set by your university for a nine-month academic year. Indicative annual ranges, last checked August 2026, compiled from USCIS, DHS Study in the States, College Board Research and Cal State San Bernardino International Admissions. KMI is not the source of these figures. They move with policy and exchange rates, and we cost your specific shortlist properly before you commit.
Why students pick it
Twelve months of work after graduation, extended to three years if your course carries a STEM designation. Your course code matters more than its title.
From Ivy League to strong state schools with fees a third of the price. The shortlist is where the work is.
Teaching and research assistantships can cover a substantial share of tuition at graduate level, but they are applied for, not awarded automatically.
Essays, recommendations and standardised tests all take months. Starting late is the most common reason a US plan fails.
That depends on your marks, your budget and your intake. Tell us where you stand and we’ll come back with a shortlist that fits.
Ask us about USAWe hold representation with universities in United States, which means we can ask about a stalled file rather than wait with you. It does not mean we will push you towards them — if the better fit is a university we have no arrangement with, that is the one on your shortlist.
