A few things to know.
What GAP selects, what your report includes, and what you still need to confirm.
Can I work in the U.S. for 3 years after graduating?+
An eligible F-1 graduate may receive up to 3 years through OPT and the STEM extension. The degree must qualify and the application must be approved; it is not automatic.
What about GMAT or GRE?+
We select programs with verified optional or nonrequired test policies. A waiver is only useful if you meet its conditions; we never assume that you do.
What is free during beta?+
Your profile, one complete report and its PDF download are free during beta. Personalized advising is coming soon, with pricing still to be confirmed.
Who decides admission and work authorization?+
Universities decide admission. The relevant authorities decide visas and work authorization. GAP gives you a source-backed comparison, not an admission offer or job guarantee.
