16 Universities Suggested by US Consultancy

US higher education consulting companies applying for students graduate school admission process in India is a huge business. It’s typical for a student to approach a US University admission consultant and asking them to apply for college admission on their behalf. With their experience, they can get advise and suggestions based on students academic profile.

US Admission Consultants – Process

A typical consultancy who applies for admission to US universities will charge fees that will be 50% more than what a student would normally pay for college application process, but if the student is not sure about the admission process, they can get admission consultants help. After a student complete GRE, TOEFL or GMAT exam, consulting company will agree to help.

After initial fee is paid, they will suggest list of universities where students can apply. With experience, it will be much easy for them to select the schools for the students. After school selection, all the required documents have to be submitted. Once that is done, applications will be submitted to by mail to US Universities. Typically they will suggest 10 universities and apply for 4 to 6 from that list of schools.

Universities for Profile

One of the comment here at HSB was bit interesting

These are the universities suggested to my profile by my consultant…… so pl tell me the BEST SIX PICK from the list below

1.University of Texas San Antonio , Texas
Annual tuition and fees: $ 14,816 for two semesters

2.Lamar University, Beaumont, TX
Annual tuition and fees: $ 9,071 approx.

List continued to total of 16 Universities.

So, the question is -

• Why do you have to pay the consultant to select universities and then you are asking others for help? If you don’t trust the US admission consultancy, you shouldn’t be asking  admission help from them in first place.
• If you are going to get help from others, they you can very well save lots of money  and apply to US Universities on your own.
• There are over 1000 college and universities in US, if you cannot work to pick 6 from 16, it’s hard to manage life and education in US.

Personal details and complete list of universities was removed from the comment. But from looking at the university lists, it looks like students has below average than average academic profile.
