Application requirements differ greatly across US universities and colleges. You will need to apply separately to each institution you are interested in and pay an application fee to each one.
To be successful, you will need to put together a well-organised application pack. This means you will need to check the requirements for each institution thoroughly and make sure you give yourself plenty of time to compose your application. Many students begin working on their application 12 months before they plan to enrol.
