Study Abroad

As one of the best universities in South Korea, Korea University can be difficult to get into, particularly for overseas students. The admissions procedure is extremely tough and selective because it is a member of the esteemed SKY universities (Yonsei University, Korea University, and Seoul National University). High GPAs from high school or prior colleges are frequently required, and applicants are expected to have an exceptional academic background. International students normally need to submit transcripts, recommendation letters, a personal statement, and evidence of their fluency in either Korean or English to be admitted as undergraduates. those taught in English typically require high TOEFL, IELTS, or comparable scores, whereas those taught in Korean could call for mastery of the TOPIK exam.

To accommodate a wide variety of students, the University of East London (UEL) maintains a somewhat liberal admissions policy, therefore getting in is not thought to be particularly tough. Candidates must normally fulfil academic requirements according to their programme of choice to be considered by UEL. To enrol in undergraduate programs, international students often need to have completed high school with grades comparable to UK A-levels and a minimum GPA or percentage of between 60% and 65%. Generally speaking, postgraduate programs require a bachelor's degree with second-class honours (or its equivalent). For overseas students, English language proficiency is also required, and acceptable exam scores include IELTS (usually a minimum of 6.0 overall) or its equivalent.

Due to Japan's extensive higher education subsidies, international students can study at the University of Tokyo for comparatively less money than they might at many Western universities. Tuition for undergraduate and graduate degrees is about 535,800 JPY (about $3,500 to $4,000 USD, depending on currency rates) per year. The annual facility charge is around 17,000 JPY (about $120 USD), and there is an admission cost of 282,000 JPY (about $2,000 USD) each person. In order to cover housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses, overseas students should spend between 100,000 and 150,000 JPY (about $700 to $1,000 USD) each month, while living expenses in Tokyo can vary.

Indeed, the stringent admissions process at the University of Southern California (USC) makes admissions extremely difficult. USC is one of the most selective universities in the US, with an admittance rate of roughly 12–13%. Applicants normally need to have a strong academic background, which includes hard coursework like Andhra Pradesh or IB classes, a high GPA (usually 3.7 or higher on a 4.0 scale), and impressive standardised test scores (if required) to be accepted. But USC has a comprehensive admissions process, which means they look at more than simply academic performance. The decision-making process also heavily considers leadership positions, extracurricular activities, personal essays, recommendation letters, and evidence of interest in particular subjects.

Lewis University's admissions procedure is fairly selective, therefore getting in is not seen to be particularly difficult. A diverse spectrum of students, including those from outside, who fulfil Lewis University's academic and English proficiency standards are accepted, with an acceptance rate of roughly 60–70%. While certain undergraduate programs may be test-optional, most need a minimum GPA of 2.5–3.0 on a 4.0 scale in addition to SAT or ACT results. A bachelor's degree with a minimum GPA of 3.0 is normally required for graduate programs, in addition to other prerequisites such as a statement of purpose, recommendation letters, and relevant job experience (for certain programs).

The minimum unweighted GPA necessary for admission to Arizona State University (ASU) varies by degree and level of study, although for most undergraduate programs, a minimum unweighted GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (about 75% or a "B" average) is required. ASU has a somewhat lenient admissions policy, so students with good standardised test scores (such as the SAT or ACT), noteworthy extracurricular accomplishments, or other proof of academic promise may still be taken into consideration even if they do not satisfy the required GPA. To increase your chances of getting into more competitive programs, including engineering, business, or the honours college, you might need to have a higher GPA (nearer 3.5 or above).

Being one of the world's most prestigious universities, Harvard makes admission quite challenging. Harvard only accepts a small percentage of candidates each year, with an admission rate of between 4–5%. The institution seeks students with extraordinary leadership abilities, extracurricular accomplishments, community involvement, and distinctive personal traits in addition to their stellar academic records. The majority of admitted students have advanced coursework, such as Andhra Pradesh or IB classes, a high GPA, and top SAT/ACT scores, thus academic achievement is a guarantee. Harvard, however, also considers a variety of factors when evaluating applications, so they consider more than just test scores and GPA.
