My Lewis University Experience

I have only applied for Lewis University and got the admission on the first attempt. Also, my visa was approved on the first attempt. Since I did not apply for any other schools, there were no other admits or rejections I encountered. Likewise, I thankfully have no rejections to discuss at this point. However, I believe most rejections often occur due to bad academic performance in our last qualification. I chose Lewis based on the feedback from my friend, who was already at Lewis. I opted for this university for the fact that it had a great visa approval rate at the time I applied, and the University was close to Chicago city with a moderate fee structure. Course I pursued aligned with my interests. Admission process is very simple and self-explanatory. Just navigate to the website, create an account, submit an application (by selecting the course you want to pursue), and upload supporting documents such as your transcripts, English test, financials, LOR and SOP, and submit the application. If they find you eligible, they will acknowledge it with an admit. After receiving your admit, in about a month's time you will receive your i20. You may then apply for your visa. English Tests can be DUOLINGO, IELTS, PTE, TOEFL, etc., Admission process was very simple. I applied for spring 2022. I was inspired by my friend and colleague who also applied at the same university and gave me very positive feedback and recommended me to apply at Lewis. The process was quick and easy at that point and time and I got my admission in about a month's time. In another month's time I received my i20 after submitting the necessary documents....Read More

It was close to home and they offered the programs I was interested in taking. They also offered competitive pricing and scholarships for any new student. Lewis University is pretty well known in the Chicagoland area....Read More

Nigara university - they wanted evaluation, i don’t want to invest money when I had option Webster university - received i20 but didn’t went because of location DePaul university - received i20 approved with $5000 scholarship, fee was high even after scholarship Lewis university - accepted People says that Chicago airport immigration hates Lewis, but it’s one thing, Lewis university is the best university anybody can ask for, They have lots of on campus options and the dorms are near. Overall admission process was smooth, I just had to submit my bachelor transcript (my percentage was 65), my PTE score (58), three letter of recommendation, resume and statement of purpose I don’t think they need much score of anything, you can get in with it, that will give you either a waiver or hourly basis. You can probably go in to Lewis website, find International Office and email. Them for more inf I applied for the intake of Fall 2023 at Lewis University. To be honest, the major reason behind my choice to apply to this university was how beautiful and vibrant the campus felt. It was very convincing. I began my application during mid-May to June. The whole admission process from submission till receiving my acceptance and I-20 took about 4-5 months....Read More

The colleges i applied to was : NJIT, Webster, Clarke, Florida institute of Technology, Lewis University.  All the above colleges i mentioned, i received the admit , there were no rejections. Nowhere rejected as I have a good academic score. 1. I chose because of the course curriculum and the PMP certification waiver(2 years study requirement waiver for Lewis University students). The tie ups with the Project Management institutions that the college have  2. Nothing much. Just apply, provide the financials and you are good to go. 3. I've given Duolingo and PTE but i guess they considered Duolingo. I've got 130 in Duolingo. I don't know the minimum requirement  4. Not much challenges in the admission process but once got the admission and visa was approved, the admission was deferred due to overflow of admission, which was ridiculous. I applied for Fall. Fall is an ideal intake and the timeline will be good and regular if you start for Fall   It did really take around a month and its pretty simple, i directly got the admit and once i accepted it, I got the I20  It was very simple and i must recommend the students who are thinking to study abroad in future to opt for fall intake. ...Read More
