Harvard University
The world's most recognized university brand, with generous need-based aid for admitted students.
Why study in the USA?
The United States is home to 8 of the world's top 20 universities and over 4,000 accredited colleges. From Harvard and MIT to large public campuses, US universities combine academic flexibility with global employability.
Unlike the UK's 3-year single-subject degree, US bachelor's programmes are typically 4 years and let students explore before declaring a major. International students also benefit from campus life, scholarships, and post-study work through OPT.
Whether you are applying via the Common App with Polish Matura, IB, or A Levels, the US offers exceptional programmes in STEM, business, arts, and the humanities — at times with generous need-based aid for admitted students.

Key information for studying in the USA
Most undergraduate applications go through the Common App, which opens on 1 August. Early Decision and Early Action typically close around 1 November; Regular Decision is usually 1–15 January. The University of California system uses its own application, with a deadline of 30 November. We track every deadline for your shortlist and make sure documents are ready well in advance.
For US undergraduate degrees, international students should typically budget from around $32,000 per year at public universities to $90,000–100,000 total cost of attendance at Ivy League schools. Private university tuition is often around $45,000 per year. These are sticker prices for tuition and attendance, not what every family pays — need-based aid at top private schools often brings the net cost much lower.
Living costs vary by city. Major cities such as New York, Boston, or Los Angeles often require roughly $1,700–4,000 per month, while smaller college towns are often closer to $800–1,800. This includes accommodation, food, transport, and personal expenses — not tuition. We advise on realistic budgets before you accept an offer.
You will usually need a valid passport, proof of English proficiency (TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo), and an F-1 student visa. Many top schools also require SAT or ACT scores. Government visa fees are around $785, and universities typically ask for essays, transcripts, and recommendation letters. Edunade guides you through each requirement so nothing is missed.

"I highly recommend Edunade's services. They guided me through my application process and helped me from start to finish in a very professional manner. I could really count on them, as even in unexpected situations their feedback was almost instant. Whenever I had a question, I would receive a highly researched answer consulted with many experts. Ultimately, the cooperation led me to secure a place in the university of my dreams. I wouldn't have made it if it weren't for them."
"With Edunade's help I got into a physics PhD at Durham University."
"Edunade's help in my application process was immense. They started by broadening my mind with regards to possible study places, as well as massively helped me in the application itself."
"With the help of Edunade, who helped me prepare my documents and build my profile, I received an offer and a scholarship from one of the best universities in Asia."
"I wholeheartedly recommend Edunade! With their support, especially Fiorella's, we got into our dream university, and the entire admissions process went smoothly and without unnecessary stress. Going through all the applications on my own would have been a huge challenge. Professional help proved invaluable."
"Edunade played a huge role in getting me into my dream university. The team was professional, competent, and incredibly easy to work with — they always responded quickly and were genuinely helpful at every stage. Highly recommend!"
"Before we started working with Edunade, we had experience with other companies offering support for applying to universities abroad, and our experience was not good. The value for money was very poor — sparse, irrelevant, or very basic help in exchange for high rates and hourly billing. Edunade is different — they say they are a boutique firm and know their stuff, and they really do, as they show from the first conversation to the end of the process. They know the secondary school and university market worldwide from their own experience and use that knowledge every day — they advised us, searched, discussed, prepared documents, streamlined processes, and handled even the toughest bureaucratic situations. They understand admissions mechanisms and know that even the smallest detail can be crucial in the process; they do not dismiss anything, but at the same time they can separate what matters from what matters less. And importantly, they have developed a very effective communication model. We always felt that they cared about us and that they used their experience, knowledge, and contacts to help us achieve our dream goal. I am sure that without their help it would have been much harder — there is so much to manage, so many requirements (different at each university) and deadlines, and a need to understand all the nuances, that it is a full-time job. What is more, they do it always with amazing positive energy and a smile, which motivates and encourages both the candidate and everyone around them even more. I think it is hard to find a better partner in such a demanding, sometimes stressful process."
"Your help was really important for me and we really appreciate your commitment. Today when I went to my school, I met my head teacher and she was asking me about your company and I recommended you to her."
"I'd like to thank Michael and Edunade who helped me a lot with my university applications and improved my candidate profile."
"Edunade helped me to get into IED university in Milan. Our cooperation was smooth and really successful. They supported me on every step of my application journey and responded to any doubts and problems I encountered in the process. I can honestly recommend them."
"I worked with Edunade for three years throughout my university admissions process and they were fantastic. Along the way they helped me through several really difficult situations, always with patience and real solutions rather than just generic advice. Their admissions support was thorough and reliable from start to finish. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a team that truly shows up when things get tough."
"I highly recommend this company. Everyone was super helpful and patient. They explained everything very clearly which made the whole process very quick and pleasant. If in doubt they were always there to help and answer any questions."
"Many thanks to you, Fiorella! You are a star, seriously. Thank you so much for your time, your motivation, and for the entire knowledge you have shared with us."
"Edunade helped me to get into my dream course — Fashion and Design. Additionally, my mentor helped me find accommodation and settle in France, which made the move much less stressful for me."
"Edunade honestly saved my life throughout the entire university application process. I was preparing for IBDP exams and working on other projects while Matt, Michał, and the Edunade team guided me through everything from start to finish. Their managers spoke with universities, gathered all the information, explained what needed to be done on their side and mine, and supported me with questions whenever something was on my mind. I could focus on my work while they managed everything in the background, and I honestly felt like a superstar with an entire team of assistants behind me. They saved me hours every week, took so much stress off my shoulders, and helped me get into my dream Zhejiang University. Put simply, I had 110% trust in them and wholeheartedly recommended them to my friends."
Frequently asked questions about studying in the USA
Yes. US universities evaluate the Matura as part of a holistic application alongside grades, essays, extracurriculars, and (usually) SAT/ACT scores. There is no UCAS-style tariff conversion — admissions officers read your full transcript in context.
The Common App lets you apply to 20+ US universities with one shared profile, plus school-specific supplemental essays. Many schools use Early Decision or Early Action rounds that do not exist in UCAS. We handle the entire process on your behalf.
Most universities accept TOEFL iBT (typically 80–110+), IELTS Academic (6.5–7.5), or Duolingo (105–125). Exact minimums are set by each university. If you studied in English, you may qualify for an exemption.
International undergraduate tuition ranges from approximately $32,000 per year at public universities to $90,000–100,000 total cost of attendance at Ivy League schools. Living costs are higher in major cities ($1,700–4,000/month) than in college towns ($800–1,800/month). Need-based aid can significantly reduce these costs.
Our support typically lasts 6–12 months before your application deadline. Starting early gives us time to build your school list, prepare for the SAT, and craft your Common App essays. We have also successfully supported students who came to us closer to deadlines.
