All universities can be categorized and classified by an application type. As a first approach you should decide which application types you are - or would like to be - familiar the most. The list below will help you decide. You don't have to know exactly which country or university you would like to study in, since application types are supra-national categories.Let's see an example: American application type with its Common Application considered an easy and clear application form to fill and admission process to follow. Why we are telling this? For instance if you would be glad to study and - later on - life in Switzerland, but there is the tiny little difficulty that you neither speak German nor French, Italian or Romansh you still have a good chance to study in that beautiful country. A lot of American universities are in Switzerland . Of course they are offering admissions for international students that are following the American application type. So if you won't be admitted to Harvard for the first attempt you can still go to Switzerland .
