Why Choose The Road To The Ivy League Program?Competition for admission to top universities in the U.S. is at an all-time high with more than 600,000 students from Asia enrolling in 2015-2016. At the Road to the Ivy League Program students will learn how to articulate what differentiates them from their peers and what would make them a valuable addition to an institution. Many international students struggle to acclimate to life in the U.S. and miss out on valuable opportunities such as internships and leadership positions. Through this program, students will learn what to expect on campus, how to build positive relationships with faculty, and will be prepared to thrive and not just survive at a U.S. institution.

Who Should Attend?

Apply NowVISA INFORMATION FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

International applicants coming from outside the US must secure a US visa at least 3 weeks before the start of the program. If unable to do so, admission will be deferred to the following program session. US visa eligibility forms will be made available to all accepted international students. These forms cannot be processed until the student has paid his/her enrollment deposit. Verification of financial support is required for all enrolling international students. Tuck provides assistance in facilitating the US visa process through the Dartmouth Office of Visa and Immigration Services (OVIS). Please visit the OVIS website for further details.

International students should be aware that participation in the Road to the Ivy League does not constitute the basis for securing a student visa. Past participants have had success in obtaining Visitor (B) visas to participate in our program because the program comprises a short recreational course of study and is not for credit toward a degree. Information on the US Department of State’s policy on short periods of recreational study is available at http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/visit/visitor.html.
