Step 3 - Determine whether you meet admission requirements

What are the most common admission requirements set up by US colleges?

• Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is an average assessment of your knowledge for a particular school year calculated from your grades. It ranges on a scale from 0.0-4.0. 
• Standardized testing includes TOEFL and SAT or ACT (not both of them) - maximum number of points for TOEFL (120 iBT), SAT (2400), ACT (36). A great deal of universities require two more SAT Subject Tests. e.g."When applying for admission to Princeton, you must submit official scores for either the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT (with Writing, where available). All applicants must also take two SAT Subject Tests."
• Most of the colleges commonly require a TOEFL score of 80/120 iBT or higher.
• extracuricullar activities - social activity, membership in clubs, doing sports, anything you find useful to mention.
• Just to mention 12 years of education so far.

All colleges and universities have different admissions requirements. The best way to compare your credentials to the requirements is to consider average SAT scores of the last-year enrolled students and acceptance rate.

Step 1 - Start preparing for the TOEFL and the SAT

You should start your preparation immediately unless you speak English fluently. The TOEFL (Test Of English As Foreign Language) examination is one of your passes for entering U.S. university. TOEFL test-taking is usually offered by the advising center in your country. The test is offered in two formats: iBT (internet-based) and PBT (paper-based). IBT format is more convenient because it's offered 30-40 times a year and in 4,500 authorized test centers across the world. The cost of the test ranges from 150-200$.
