How Does Our Process Of PhD Assistance For US Universities Work?

The process of applying for a PhD program in the USA more or less remains the same. However, to keep it less and less burdening for you, the team of ELK Consulting provides maximum assistance in the areas we can and follows the below mentioned process.

1

Understand Your Requirements

First our consultants go through your query and requirements to understand your requirements. We check the preferred location in the US as suggested by you along with the Phd budget you have and whether you need thesis proposal writing or not.

2

Package Selection And Payment

Based on the requirements, our consultant team will offer you packages which can be customized the way you want. Once the package inclusions fits your budget and requirements, you will be guided to the payment process.

3

Connect With Our Expert

After the payment has been made, the consultant team will connect you with the expert who will help you with the process further. The expert with the country specific knowledge as well as the subject knowledge will connect with you.

4

Preparing Documents

Your application documents including application form, academic scores (ones required) letter of recommendation, CV, statement of purpose, research proposal, portfolio, and language test scores will be collected and reviewed.

5

Creation Of Account

Our expert will then create accounts on your behalf to send applications to the universities as well as on LinkedIn to find research mentors (if required).

6

Target The Universities

The universities with required PhD programs as well as the ones with higher expectancy of selecting the marks as well as the candidate will be targeted. In case you already have a university in mind, our expert will check whether you are eligible for those universities or not. If yes, then we will target those universities first.

7

Applications Submission

Based on the documents required by the university (as different universities have different guidelines), we will submit the applications on your behalf. Our team makes sure that the process of application submission is correct.

8

Follow-Ups

After the submission, our experts take constant follow-ups on the application status and update you on the same. When an application gets accepted we provide you with a list of things and an admission process to practice and handover the account’s credentials to you. If the application gets rejected in all the applied universities, we apply in others (T&C applied).

Three Things We Cannot Help With For The USA PhD Admission

No, we won’t make any fake promises to our clients. There are a few things in the application process which are crucial and yet, we can not support you in those. The things we can not help you with are as follows.

Graduate & Postgraduate Degrees

If you are applying or planning to apply for a PhD degree, then you must have completed your graduate and postgraduate degrees. The scores and universities from which you have completed these degrees play an important role and if these become a reason for the application getting rejected, then we can not help with it.

Test Scores

We can help you in choosing the most appropriate language and entrance tests for the target university; however, it is you who has to give the exam. Your scores in the test (GMAT, GRE or language tests like IELTS or TOEFL) decide the chances of getting accepted for foreign studies and thus, in case you miss the right scores, we suggest you take the test again.

Fundings And Scholarships

We do not provide student loans or scholarships for studying in the USA. Depending on the case and requirements, we might suggest some options but in no way can we assist you to get the loan or scholarship. That is another thing you have to do on your own.

Benefits Of Choosing ELK Consulting For The USA PhD Services

The team of ELK consulting has PhD holders and domain experts from different countries to provide help in the following ways:

Counselling For Decision Making

Our experts connect with you directly to understand your application status and requirements. Based on this information, they help with the research topic, university selection, finalizing documents, and even suggest options for the decision making process.

Research Defense Tips

Every candidate has to go through a research proposal defense especially when they are applying for a PhD program in the USA’s reputed universities. Therefore, to ensure that the candidates confidently present their research proposal, our experts can also provide tips for the research defence without any additional cost.

Interview Preparation

Most universities in the USA conduct an interview before accepting the application. Some are offline and others are online via skype or zoom (in case of international students). Based on this, our experts prepare a non-subject specific interview for the candidate following the target setting so that the candidate gets the idea and practice accordingly.
