Study in US: Admissions happen three times a year in America, know which intake gives the most benefit?

American University Admissions Explained: America has been the favorite destination of Indian students for studying abroad. Every year, millions of students pack their bags and head to the world’s third largest country in terms of area. America has the world’s top universities, where students from not only India but from all over the world come to study. America is considered the best country for studying science, technology, engineering and maths.

However, now the question arises that in India, where admission in universities and colleges usually takes place in the months of July-August, when can one take admission in American universities? Here we get a chance to take admission only once. If you miss admission in July-August, then you will get a chance to take admission again only after a year. In such a situation, let us know when one can take admission in America.

How many intakes does an American college have?

There are mainly three intakes in America. Here by intake, we mean the time when admission is given in universities and colleges. Summer, Spring and Fall are the three major intakes when a student can take admission to study in America. Summer intake starts from May, while Spring intake starts from January. Similarly, admission is given in Fall intake in September.

Most admissions in American universities take place in September. Because of this, fall intake is considered the most important time for admission. However, if a student fails to apply for admission in fall intake, he/she has a chance to get admission in January i.e. spring intake. Most universities do not take admission in summer intake which starts from May. This is the reason why this intake is not very popular.

When does the application process for admission start?

The application process for admission in universities and colleges usually starts five to six months before the intake. The admission period for fall intake is September-December, for which the application process starts between November-May. Admission for spring intake takes place in January-April. To get admission in this intake, you will have to apply to the university between July-December. Summer intake takes place between May-August, for which you can apply between January-March.

Admission in which intake is most beneficial?

Taking admission in fall intake is a profitable deal. The reason for this is that the admission process in most universities is going on at a fast pace at this time. Admission in popular courses is also taken in this intake. Not only this, but the highest chance of getting a scholarship is in the fall intake. Moreover, fall intake is also a profitable deal for Indian students because by then their degree has already arrived.
