At first, I was lost, I was petrified...Until I came across the UNIcq comprehensive site guide!
First and foremost: ARE YOU
      a) A prospective international student*?
      b) A current international student* in the US or an Alum?
      c) An affiliate (e.g. spouse/parent of prospective/current student* etc.)
      d) An international student society/group in a US college?

*We define student loosely as someone seeking academic studies, whether full-time, part-time, as an exchange, as a researcher etc. at both the undergraduate and graduate and/or professional levels (e.g. MBA, Law, Med etc.).

A) Prospective International Student

Welcome to UNIcq! We hope that our free resources will help you in your application journey, and then adjust to the US thereafter. You should really check out:

UNIverse: The Community Site.

Unite: Tired of randomly emailing international student societies or messaging students on Facebook etc. and getting no responses? Sick of trying to find seniors in the US colleges you want to apply to without much success? Cannot stand the messiness and often-unverified resources on forums???

Then join our growing community of internationals along their UNIcq academic journeys, meet fellow applicants, and bond with mentors and alumni from your country who can address your specific questions. Current students and alumni MUST have a .edu email to sign up, so no more guessing if the person you are talking to on a forum is a REAL student, or just a creepy person who is giving all kinds of misleading and wrong advice!

Sometimes you need a little more help with questions like “ How do I find the colleges that are right for me? Does my essay showcase my unique character, achievements and dreams?

With UNICoach, we are committed to finding, listing and verifying the most credible admission consultants, test prep companies and private tutors out there for you at NO charge to YOU, the student. Yes! This service is free for students. We do not ever want our students to be cheated or misled. That is our UNIcq promise. Find the best consultant/tutor for you HERE.
