Let’s take a moment to review some commonly-asked questions about myUface:

What can myUface do for me?

At myUface.com we will help you create a student profile and application and share it with our university partners. Your profile includes everything a university needs to know about you – your educational goals, your financial information, your application materials (like essay and test scores), and even fun things like sports you play or hobbies you enjoy.

Once we walk you through the creation of your profile, myUface will help find the right university and program for you. What’s even better, our universities will be able to review your profile and contact you if they think you would be a good fit for them.
When we find a university that fits your needs, and that university likes your profile, the university will invite you to apply.

Will myUface get me into a U.S. university?

myUface doesn’t have control over the admissions decisions of U.S. universities, so we can’t promise that by using our service you’ll get into a U.S. university. However, we can greatly improve your chances of finding a U.S. university by:

• simplifying the application process
• providing you with a way to advertise yourself to many different universities at the same time
• giving you advice about how to improve your application

The truth is, the process of getting into a U.S. university is not as complicated as it seems. You can do it, if you are dedicated and willing to work hard. And remember, you’re not alone: we will be there to help.

How much does myUface cost?

myUface is free for students. That means that you can create and publish an online profile for U.S. universities to look at for free.

In the future, we will offer some additional services for an extra cost:

• you will be able to get myUface.com’s team of professional proofreaders to read and comment on your application essays.
• you will also be able to have myUface.com interview you, and comment on your interview.

Does myUface.com offer scholarships?

No. But some of our university partners may offer scholarships to outstanding international students. In addition, at the myUface.com blog we will give some advice about international financial aid opportunities.

Who is in charge of myUface?

myUface is owned and operated by three Americans who together have 27 years of experience in the field of international education, and who have spent a combined 19 years living abroad. We decided to start my Uface because we got tired of seeing bright, talented students who dreamed of studying in the U.S. go to universities in the U.K. or Australia simply because the system of college admissions in the U.S. was so difficult to understand.

We want to help as many students as possible gain access to the world’s best education. That’s why we created myUface.com.

If myUface.com’s basic services are free to use, how does it make money?

Good question. There are a few answers:

First, myUface.com charges a university a fee whenever a student from myUface.com is placed at their university. Through collecting fees from universities, we can offer our basic suite of services to students at no charge.

Second, myUface.com receives a small amount of advertising revenue.

Third, myUface.com does charge students for a few optional services.

Finally – and most importantly – the reason we founded myUface.com is not to make money. Of course we’d like the site to succeed financially, but more than anything else we’d like to see more international students in the U.S.
