The US doesn't currently have an application system for all universities. Use the links on the university websites, and follow the instructions.
Always read the requirements carefully when applying to American universities. Some will require standardised tests, and others will ask for different documents (writing samples, portfolio, list of patents) as part of the application process.
3. Language requirements for US university applications 🗣
To ensure that you are able to effectively learn and participate in your classes, you will need to show that you have good enough English-language skills to apply for admission to a U.S. university.
Most U.S. universities will accept one of these tests:
• IELTS Academic (International English Language Testing Service)
• TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language)
• PTE Academic (Pearson Test of English)
✔️Check the university and programme requirements to see the minimum score they expect from applicants.

•Transcripts or records of grades
•Résumé/CV
•Test scores (SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT)

5. University application deadlines in the US🗓
👩🏻🎓If you are applying for an undergraduate (Bachelor's) degree in the US, universities will typically offer two application deadlines - early admission and regular admission.
