Students desirous of studying in the US have something to cheer.

A California-based website app2us.com is providing personalised guidance for reaching to the US Universities. And they are doing it for free. There is no hidden cost even. I have checked it. 

app2us.com is helping students in test preparation, university selection, finding sources of funding, and even deciding on multiple admission offers.

According to its Vice President Ms Harshita, app2us.com is a self-funded venture by a group of IIT-graduates who believe in giving back to the society. “Hence this website, which is aimed at fulfilling the need of students to get help in applying to US Universities, and get the help free of cost,” she says, claiming that app2us.com has already helped over 500 students in the past one year. “The users of the site are headed to the top US Universities like Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, and George Washington University in the fall of 2008.”

Hang on! The site also features a blog at www.app2us.com/blog, which is leading the ongoing vote at the 2008 Blogger’s Choice Award, as the best blog in the world in the Education category.
