TOEFL 90, IELTS 7.0 or Duolingo 125 minimum. Waived if your instruction has been in English for three or more years, which is a waiver most applicants qualify for and few claim.
Transcripts translated and evaluated course by course. National exam results, A-levels, IB predicted grades and CBSE marks are each read against their own scale rather than converted to a US GPA.
The I-20 comes after you deposit, then a $350 SEVIS fee and a consular interview. Build in eight to twelve weeks between deposit and travel, longer for high demand posts.
On campus work capped at 20 hours during term. CPT after one academic year, OPT for 12 months after graduation, 36 months for STEM designated majors. Your major decides that.
