Frequently Asked Questions

What is the International College Advisory Program?

The International College Advisory Program (CAP) is designed to help International students attend AND play soccer at a University in the United States.
Do you guarantee placement?

We do not guarantee placement. There are a lot of factors that will come into play with International students. We do feel very confident that if you do all the required information we will have no problem finding the right fit for you!
How will CAP be able to find the right fit for me?

We have a comprehensive process that we utilize that helps us learn more about YOU. Throughout this process, we are asking questions that will help us narrow down the right college for you.
Am I good enough to play in the United States?

Hopefully YES! But we have not seen you play, so until we see game footage and highlight videos that is a question that we can not answer.
Will I need a highlight video?

Yes. You will need a 4-5 minute highlight video and a full game. This helps coaches get to know your style of play and if you would be a good fit. But don’t worry, we do have services that can help you. You will have FREE Access to the College Fit Finder Video Editing Platform, or let Rush create your highlight video for you.
What are the requirements?
These requirements are based on what is needed for the International CAP. Requirements will vary from University to University.
1. Fill out the Free Evaluation.

3. Take the ACT or SAT.
4. Take the TOEFL.
5. Fill out College Fit Finder Profile.
6. Highlight videos.

How much money do I need to attend college in the United States?
This answer really varies depending on the college and the scholarship amount that you receive. The goal is to get your out-of-pocket expense down as low as possible. Once we narrow down college choices for you and offers are made, we can start to determine how much you will be looking out per year. You can expect to pay $10,000-$20,000 a year to attend a University in the United States. Junior College will be the least expensive route to go, but this is not always the best fit for everyone. Here is a College Net Cost Calculator. For the top 300 schools in the United States that can help determine what your out-of-pocket expense will be. Here are some costs to consider:
- Plane Tickets to the United States. Most likely you will need to make a trip to the United States before starting college. Also, do you plan to fly home for the Holidays?
- Food. Many times this is included in your Room and Board cost if you live on campus. (estimate $200-$300 a month)
- Misc Living Expenses.
- Entertainment, cell phone, cable, clothes. (estimate $300 a month).

We will provide with you full access to the website and a Time Table of items to be completed prior to us reaching out to college coaches.

What type of Visa will I need?

1. F1 Visa
2. J1 Visa
3. M1 Visa
The F1 and J1 visas allow for the possibility of employment in the US during your stay, while the M1 Visa does not.

Don’t worry, once you are accepted into the International CAP program, we will help you with the Visas!
