Руководство
Сроки подачи заявлений
Обычно вы подаете заявления в американские университеты в последний год обучения в школе — как правило, с ноября по середину января. Уже окончили школу? Не беспокойтесь. Вы все еще можете подать заявление как студент, взявший gap year.
Подача заявлений происходит в выпускном классе, но настоящая работа начинается гораздо раньше — за 2-3 года до крайних сроков. Развитие внеклассной деятельности, подготовка к тестам и исследование университетов требуют времени. Это не то, что можно втиснуть в несколько месяцев.
Типы сроков подачи заявлений
Early Decision (ED)
ED идеально подходит, если вы абсолютно уверены в своем выборе университета. Вы подаете заявление до ноября и получаете ответ к декабрю. Но есть одно условие: ED является обязательным, что означает, вы должны поступить, если вас примут. Вы можете выбрать только один университет для ED.
Early Action (EA)
EA похож на ED, но без обязательств. Вы подаете заявление примерно в ноябре, получаете ответ к декабрю или январю и все еще свободны для сравнения других предложений. Вы можете подать EA в несколько университетов.
Restrictive Early Action (REA)
REA (также называемый Single-Choice Early Action) не является обязательным, но имеет свои правила. Вы подаете заявление до ноября, получаете решение примерно в декабре и не обязаны поступать. Но есть нюанс: если вы выбираете REA, вы не можете подавать ED или EA в другие частные университеты, хотя государственные университеты обычно допускаются. Внимательно проверяйте правила каждого университета.
Regular Decision (RD)
Это самый распространенный (и свободный от обязательств) способ подачи заявления. Крайние сроки обычно в январе, с объявлением решений к марту или апрелю. У вас будет время до 1 мая, чтобы принять решение. Вы можете подать RD в несколько университетов. Если вы пропустите этот срок, придется ждать целый год.
Rolling Admissions
Некоторые колледжи не устанавливают строгих сроков — они рассматривают заявления по мере поступления. Но будьте внимательны: у некоторых есть приоритетные даты, что означает, что у вас будет преимущество при ранней подаче.
Студенты, взявшие gap year
Если вы пропустили срок подачи RD или решили отложить подачу заявления на год после окончания школы, вы будете считаться студентом, взявшим gap year. Это очень распространенная практика и не ставит вас в невыгодное положение. На самом деле, это отличная возможность изучить свои интересы, пройти удивительные стажировки или просто больше подготовиться к стандартизированным тестам. Некоторые студенты берут 2 или даже 3 gap year.
Вот несколько успешных иностранных студентов, которые взяли один или несколько gap year:
Хотя взятие gap year не повредит вашим шансам на поступление, важно провести его с пользой. В Common App вас попросят написать Gap Year Statement, объясняя, как вы его провели, чему научились и как это подготовило вас к успеху в колледже.
График для 9-10 классов
Как мы упоминали ранее, ваша подготовка к колледжу начинается задолго до сроков подачи заявлений. Вот ваш пошаговый план, начиная с 9 и 10 классов (да, так рано!).
- Выбирайте сложные, но реалистичные классы — подумайте о Pre-IB, Pre-AP или ускоренных программах, если они доступны. И да, каждая оценка имеет значение — даже те оценки первого года, которые вы хотели бы забыть.
- Участвуйте в клубах, внеклассных мероприятиях и летних программах — но выбирайте только те, которые вам действительно нравятся! Приемные комиссии за милю чувствуют деятельность "только-ради-поступления-в-колледж".
- Начните изучать личные проекты — не потому, что вам нужно что-то впечатляющее для заявлений, а потому что важно понять, что вас действительно увлекает.
- Исследуйте колледжи заранее, общайтесь с другими иностранными студентами, которые прошли через это, и обязательно используйте Borderless.
График для 11 класса
К 11 классу все становится серьезнее — но вы справитесь:
- Старайтесь в учебе — университеты особенно ценят хорошие оценки в этом году. Никакого расслабления!
- Стремитесь к лидерским ролям в ваших клубах, спортивных командах или волонтерских группах. Продолжайте заниматься деятельностью, которая вас действительно увлекает и оказывает влияние.
- Думаете о запуске или руководстве своим проектом по интересам? Сейчас идеальное время.
- Подготовьтесь и сдайте стандартизированные тесты: SAT или ACT. Если английский не ваш родной язык, добавьте в список TOEFL или IELTS.
- Изучайте университеты виртуально или посетите их лично во время дней открытых дверей.
- Если в вашей школе есть консультант по поступлению в колледж, запланируйте индивидуальную встречу для получения персонализированного совета, или рассмотрите возможность наставничества от Borderless.
- Продолжайте исследовать университеты и стипендии. Ваше будущее "я" будет вам серьезно благодарно.
- К концу 11 класса запросите рекомендательные письма — ваши учителя оценят раннее уведомление.
- Начните обдумывать идеи для вашего Personal Statement для Common App. Да, уже!
График для 12 класса
12 класс — пора действовать:
- Прием заявлений обычно открывается в августе — не откладывайте, начинайте рано!
- Если возможно, возьмите более сложные курсы в осеннем семестре. Помните, университеты принимают решения до того, как увидят ваши итоговые оценки 12 класса.
- Получите рекомендательные письма, выписки и все другие необходимые документы.
- Уделите достаточно времени доработке вашего personal statement и дополнительных эссе. Спешка на этом этапе — огромная ошибка.
- Заполните все заявления через Common App или другие соответствующие платформы.
- Подаете заявление на Early Decision или Early Action? Сроки обычно падают между 15 октября и 15 ноября. Regular Decision обычно до января.
- Не забудьте о форме заявления на финансовую помощь — серьезно, не забудьте.
- Тщательно и уверенно подготовьтесь к собеседованиям в колледж.
- Конец марта или начало апреля означает письма о зачислении! Выбирайте тщательно — правильный выбор важен для ваших целей и бюджета.

As an international student needing a full ride, Borderless felt like a safe space for me. It made the whole admissions process so much clearer and less overwhelming, with resources that were actually easy to understand and apply.
Full scholarshipBorderless helped me a lot during this process, especially when writing my personal statement - the specific feedback and details I got back were spot on. My PIQs & all my supplementals were also reviewed by Borderless app and it gave specific feedback to improve them. I also used the Brainstorming tool (amazing! It really sounded like a real counselor) for most of my apps. The activities list review tool was also great, it helped me reorganize the order and small details that I didn't detect before. Thank you for building this incredible app!
I've read some interviews and articles by students getting scholarships in different universities and this has really inspired me through different stages in my journey! I also used the essays editor and evaluator, which was really super helpful when it comes to evaluating many essays while applying and at least get a sense of how good it is without having to ask my friends to read a hundred essays for me! I also appreciated that it was almost completely free and I didn't have to pay anything, and I know how this can be helpful for students who can't afford to pay for advisors. Thank you so much!!
Full scholarshipI used the thirty min call with Veronica twice and used the essay helper many times. The calls really helped me because i did one during brainstorming and one when i thought i already had my final draft and the first one helped me eliminate some bad ideas and second one helped me reframe my final version to be much more connected to my culture. Essay helper was absolutely amazing, and it helped me with focus and especially for the additional NYU essay as i was confused with what exactly to write within such a limited wordcount.
$88.5k/year scholarshipTHE PLATFORM WAS A LIFESAVER, when i was managing 10000 of applications to colleges all at once. I read almost all the stories of students who got into universities, where i was applying
Borderless was really helpful for me. I almost read all the shared stories and found them truly inspiring. Also, I used borderless to review my essays online, organize my college list, and extracurricular activities. Thank you so much Veronica for all the videos you shared on social media, and for this great website. I am very grateful to borderless for helping me turn my dream a reality, even by just using your free services.
Full scholarshipI have been reading the stories since I was in 9th grade, and it helped me kind of plan out my extracurriculars. But the thing that helped me the most was the Borderless App's review and rating mechanisms. It helped me refine my essays, and I believe that's what got me in
$40k/year scholarshipBoth the Borderless app and Instagram account have been a huge help in my application process. As a low-income international student, I found community in the Instagram account, watching content that helped me and showed me I am not alone. The app helped me organise my college list, tracking which applications were done or what was left to do. And the writing assistance was one of my favourite tools. From brainstorming to revision, absolutely helpful.
First Borderless expanded my college options through the college list service. With the stories, I was inspired to apply to some colleges and understand their admissions. With the ECs reviewer, it provided me with the chance to theme my profile to actually start crafting my profile. Thanks!
Borderless was meaningful to me and to my process of learning and preparing to applications. I used every tool to review my essays and extracurricular activities and read many stories to learn about the profile of the approved students at the university I wanted to apply. I had mentorship to help me, but to people who can't afford or weren't approved at any mentorship, I believe Borderless is a powerful app.
I mostly watched the Instagram reels for advice and as I applied everywhere on my own without any agent I must admit those were REALLY helpful. Especially for the ECA recommendations — we don't really have any fancy clubs in our school or any high research opportunities. All of my ECAs were self-initiated, and Veronica's advice really helped me describe the impact I made through them in all my applications. I was thrilled to be accepted by CWRU since the USA admission process is 10 times more brutal than the Canadian one.

I was thrilled to be accepted by CWRU since the USA admission process is 10 times more brutal than the Canadian one.
Borderless was my savior during the application process. I mostly used the "extracurricular" and "essay" section to get feedback about what I was writing about. Borderless also made it easy to comprehend how to approach each supplemental question depending on the college/university. Finally, I would say that reading stories from different backgrounds was the starting point of motivation.
$92k/year scholarshipI loved the entire essay help section on the Borderless app! The brainstorming, the review, it all helped me so much in getting to where I am today.
The Borderless App has been helpful a lot in this college application season - as it is my first time, and I didn't have any mentors or people who could check my essays - it helped me survive. Especially the brainstorming with Borderless made me feel like i am less dumb and actually made my ideas more structured to put the all in one essay and convey the message I want. I am REALLY thankful to Borderless, I don't know what I would do without it.
$32,000/year scholarshipBorderless was instrumental in my journey! I heavily used the Activities section guide to refine my descriptions and prioritize them according to Common App standards. The essay brainstorming tools and college list evaluations gave me much-needed clarity. I also spent a lot of time reading Borderless Stories and even reached out to past participants to get "insider" insights on specific universities, which helped me feel more connected to the community.
Full scholarshipI got into Purdue and a chunk of my acceptance goes to Borderless. I believe an application is nothing without essays and Borderless quite literally saved me with last minute reviews. Purdue was the first university I was going to writing supplementals for, and I genuinely had no idea how to begin, what to write, and if what I was writing was meaningful at all. That's where Borderless came in!! Its initial roadmap helped me start, and that framework helped me get my thoughts in order. Even after finishing my essays, Borderless AI caught many shortcomings within my essays, even minute ones, which I think have played a huge role in my acceptance to Purdue West Lafayette, and that too in one of the most competitive majors, Computer Science.
I mostly used the essay review tool, which really improved my writing. I also gathered all my college options in one place, making my application process much more organized and easier.
$83.5k/year scholarshipBorderless supported me throughout every step of my application journey. They helped with essay writing, building strong extracurricular activities, and choosing the right universities, making the entire process clearer, more organized, and much less stressful.
It was my first time applying to universities outside my country, so I felt a little lost about what colleges were looking for. Borderless became a mentor for me throughout the process and gave me the confidence to tell my story more authentically in my essays.
It really helped me to structure my essays — I crafted most of my essays using Borderless, as I didn't use a college counseling service neither at my school nor outside counseling. For someone who had no confidence with writing and no knowledge about where to start, this tool was more than helpful. I read stories about many colleges and started making my dream school lists out of it. I am hopeful to be able to make a positive impact on other fellow international students on this platform just as I was given so much from the past applicants. Thank you so much.
Borderless really helped me through this whole journey. I had a lot of activities, but was unsure how to describe or order them. Borderless made that process so much clearer and easier. It also helped me refine my essay by fixing the grammatical issues and giving me writing advice, which made a big difference in my essay.
I've been reading Borderless's stories for years now, but the most useful tool would definitely have to be the Activity Description Tool. It was honestly so helpful, from organizing them and telling me how to utilize the character count. Something I don't see mentioned much about it is how it helps spotting mistakes. I wrote 1 hour instead of 10 hours and it helped me catch that, or I would have totally been screwed since it was a really unique and niche activity of mine.
$32k/year scholarshipBorderless helps me to refine my essays and EC descriptions, it's totally a game-changer! At first I was completely confused about writing EC descriptions with tight limits, but the Activities review instructed me how to make my ECs sound measurable and impactful and I think it boosted my chances to get into my dream school (TCU) as an international student with a huge scholarship.
Borderless helped me immensely in structuring my activities in a way that really highlighted their impact. Additionally, the feedback on my extracurriculars helped me refine the narrative and theme of my application!
I found Borderless when I literally hit a brick wall in my application. The essay brainstorm tool was literally a life saver — it helped me know what colleges wanted and how to write the best I can.
$50k scholarshipI learned about Borderless from Facebook. After using this platform I made some very clear progress towards my USA admission journey. Borderless helped me to write my essay and making my college list. So much grateful for that. I read some of the stories from Borderless.
I used essay evaluations and the profile analysis. Borderless is an extremely useful tool for applying especially in terms of the essay help function.
