“I am very happy with Cogito. I love my school. It is a great and friendly campus. It is actually ranked #2 in the country by student satisfaction. As an international student, I got a part-time, on-campus job and I am making some pocket money. My dorms are beautiful, there are lots of other international students as well.
Thank you Cogito team for helping me find my best match!”

Questions and answers about our scholarship program!

No, you do not need to take the SAT or ACT to apply to university. If you have taken the exams and score well, however, you can receive higher scholarships and can apply to exclusive top-ranked schools!

Unfortunately, we can’t provide 100% scholarships. In order to receive an F1 student visa, students must be able to pay at least 30-40% of the school’s total cost.

Community College Program

Community college offers the first two years of 4-year university education. After two years at community college, students have a choice to finish their education with an associate degree or transfer to a regular university for years 3 and 4 and receive a full bachelor’s degree.

A bachelor degree in the USA takes 4 years of school:

You have two options to receive a bachelor degree in the US:
4 years studying at one university = Bachelor Degree
2 years of community college + 2 years at a regular university = Bachelor Degree

Elite Top 100 Admissions

For international students considering Ivy League or Top 100 university undergraduate admission, Cogito offers comprehensive guidance and strategic planning to make that dream a reality.

Our experienced team of admissions consultants and Ivy League-educated writing experts work one-on-one with students to navigate the college admissions process. As top-ranked universities get more selective (the Ivy League admits only 5-14% of all applicants), it’s important for students to learn how to express themselves beyond exam scores and grades.
