Steps you should make before moving to study in the US

Changing and settling to a different city or a country takes its own toll. There are many new changes, new beginnings and sacrifice of many old things some dear to heart and some just occupying a space in the room. There are certain things which can be done to keep you happy even after you move outside the country. If you are someone thinking to move to the US to pursue postgraduate education, here are a few great tips to remember when preparing for this goal.


There are some important steps from Ahead Academy- Best Dental Institute in Chandigarh, to keep in mind and implement before you move out to the US to study as a dentist:

1. Improve your grasp of the English Language:

Though you do not need to have an English literature degree, a moderate grasp of the language is important. Not only will you be more confident at each step of the process (which includes the US Consulate visa interview, other English proficiency exams and dental college program interviews). The accent is not of importance, the key point is that whatever you speak should be clear and sensible.

2. Get your university papers in order while still in your country:
US dental applications may require your school transcripts, degrees, certificates etc to be sent directly from your Dental University or in University sealed envelopes. Start your application prior to leaving your country and arrange for the transcripts copies to be sent to the schools you are applying to. It would also be useful of you can order extra copies of the transcripts in University sealed envelopes to keep with you. These will come in handy if you apply to any additional Universities.

3. Prepare yourself for the financial implications:
Studying abroad is expensive and on top of that, foreigners do not get student loans very easily (you will need someone based in the US to co-sign a private loan that will be at a much higher interest rate!). The living expenses can vary depending on which city you will be in, it can be quite a substantial cost. Expenses also pile up as soon as you start the process of applying- college application fees, exam fees, transcript fees, US visa interview fees, airline tickets, hotel fees, flights+ accommodation to each interview call etc. Be realistic about your budget with regard to your goals. 

4. Think long term- do you want only to study in the US or stay back and work also?
Most of the time, those who come to the US to study end up working and settling down here. Keep a general idea about your long-term plans as this helps to decide which programs to apply for. If you already know which state(s) you want to settle down in, concentrate on what programs would offer an unrestricted license in those states. Completing most advanced standing programs/International dental programs will give you the freedom to apply for a dental license in any of the 50 US states but completion of only a masters of Specialty program will limit your practice to certain states.
