How it works

From first question to your first day

1. 1

   Free consultation

   Tell us what you want to study. We check whether Rancho Solano Preparatory School fits your goals, grades and budget, and show you alternatives.

2. 2

   Entry check

   We go through your documents and English level against the entry requirements, so there are no surprises later.

3. 3

   Your application

   We prepare and send it with you, chase the decision and help you accept your offer.

4. 4

   F-1 student visa

   Once you have your I-20, pay the SEVIS fee and book your interview straight away: waits at some embassies are several months. The visa can be issued up to 365 days before you start.

Regular decision deadlines for autumn usually fall between 1 January and 1 February; graduate programmes between December and February. Many universities also admit on a rolling basis.

These are the usual latest dates for students who need a visa. Rancho Solano Preparatory School may close a course earlier when it fills, or accept later applications while places remain: an adviser confirms the date for your course.
