Be there in the World’s most expensive Universities!!

Hi all! Who is not fascinated by the concept of a reputed University? – Vast, expansive, lush lawns; elaborate libraries, state-of-the-art laboratories and above all a team of prodigious and world renowned faculty. A seat in a sanctum-sanctorum like that is a dream come true to any student. He/she would run a million extra miles to be an alumnus there, wouldn’t he/she?

Not all the most beautiful and most reputed Universities of the world are affordable though- Ahem! The price tag (that is inclusive of tuition fee and miscellaneous expenditure) that goes with the name is not affordable by scores of students. Although the Universities’ financial boards offer decent support, the price of the tuition offered leaves a student gaping.

Here is the list of the world’s richest and pricy Universities:

• Washington, D.C.’s George Washington University tops the list with the fee soaring to $40,437. The admission procedures vary per subject. For some courses the students need to take both the General and the Subject GRE.

• Sarah Lawrence College seconds GWU with a price tag of $40,350. SLC clearly mentions that GRE is not required.

• Kenyon College in the US stands third in the list. The fee amounts to $40,240. And aspiring students need to take a General GRE.

• Vassar College is one of the most prestigious educational edifices in the US. It has a heavy fee tag too, extracting a whopping $40,210. GRE is mandatory for aspiring students and this goes unsaid.

• Bucknell University comes next with an admission fee of $36,652. Besides other mandatory eligibility conditions, students need to show a decent score in GRE.

• Harvard University which inspires many a diligent student charges $36,173. You cannot think of being there without a decent score in GRE!

• Yale one of the best Universities of the world has a price tag of $35,300. GRE is an obvious requirement.

• Imperial College London charges a fee of $27,800 for non-British and European Union students).

• Canada’s Quest University is reputed both for quality education and expenditure. With a fee about $20,500 for tuition in U.S. dollars, students also need to take ACT test, a decent score in which becomes indispensable for admission.

• National University of Singapore joins the bandwagon of the richie rich Universities charging a huge $24,000. The University has stringent conditions for admission among them a good score in GRE is mandatory.

• The American University of Paris has a fee tag of $33,000 per year.

• University of Melbourne is one of the priciest in Australia and becomes unaffordable by many owing to a fee structure of $20,200 per year.

The admission procedures and requirements of all these opulent Universities are almost the same. Besides a compelling academic performance a student needs to show a decent score in GRE (most of these Universities). The non-native speakers of English also need to show a decent score either in TOEFLiBT or IELTS, as a proof to their English proficiency.  A score of 100 as in TOEFLiBT and a 7 or 6.5 band in IELTS is stipulated by the admission boards.

The other aspects of admission include a very persuasive Statement of Purpose written by the student supporting his/her decision to join that particular University. Highly supportive Recommendation Letters that vouch for a student’s academic and co-curricular performance also suggest a seat in these coveted Universities. Most of these Universities offer financial aid to the deserving students. Scholarships and grants are always there for the student who is considered an asset by the admission board.

So what are you waiting for? If you have in you some stamina to dream bigger and louder you can approach one of these Universities. I am sure joining one will be a dream come true. Your future becomes secure by all means. You will inevitably carve a niche for yourself in you choicest field/discipline. Then on life becomes a cakewalk for you. Sounds interesting, isn’t it?

For any query pertaining to admission procedures you can browse the official websites of these Universities which mention and clarify almost all the student queries.

   Hey,

   I can understand why these universities are so expensive, reputed as they are…

   But honestly, i have applied to NYU, Boston etc. for my masters and my fees are almost $55,000 a year.. I wonder then, if in this article you are talking about under-grad courses or grad courses..

   Because if you are talking of grad colleges, then I guess $55,000 is too much to pay, when universities charging $40,000 a year are expensive.

   Are NYU and Boston worth the $55,000 then?
