Is there additional information that I need to submit with my application?
Yes, International students need to submit bank statements to prove they are able to finance their education in the United States. This proof needs to be indicated to the School in order for a student to obtain an I-20 form from the school. This form is then used, along with other documents, by the student when applying for a student Visa in their home country. This information only applies to students requiring a student visa (F-1). Other visa’s i.e H1-B1 or J?? do not require this information.
