For Undergraduate programs:
Your
transcripts from 10th class onwards (duly attested by the respective
Head of the Institution) 10th and Inter (12th) transcripts need not be
in sealed envelopes. Whereas, your degree marks and provisional must be
in sealed envelope, with seal and signature on the flap of the envelope
too.
For Graduate Level programs:
Ideally,
one should indicate availability of funds for the entire duration of
the course. For example, for a two-year Masters program, funds must be
adequate to cover for both the years. If you cannot show funds for two
years, then you must indicate availability for at least one year,
covering tuition, living expenses and other fees. Hence, before taking
a statement, calculate what would be the maximum expenditure from among
the universities you wish to apply to. Take the higher amount and
arrange for Bank Statement, accordingly. This will eliminate the need
to take fresh statement every time you apply to universities with
higher fee structure.
Statement of Purpose (SOP)
Ideally must be a
one-page statement of your purpose in personal and academic life. SOP
must contain information on your education objectives, career goals,
reasons for study in the US and reasons for choosing a particular
program in a particular institute.
