Speaking on the launch, Mr. Vivek Govil, President & CEO, Pearson Education said, “There are several excellent books available for students applying to the U.S. colleges—but they are all written by Americans, for American students, from an American perspective. Renuka has written a book although there is inexhaustible material available on the Internet, students find it hard to locate, and cannot be sure what is trustworthy, and what has to be discounted. Renuka has advised hundreds of students who decided to study in America. This book encapsulates her experience of invaluable information packed in an easy-to-read, student-friendly style.”

Talking about the book Ms, Renuka Raja Rao said, “Admission to American universities is not difficult - it is different. The time lines are different, the application process and required tests are different. The deadlines are much earlier than other countries. This book explains the differences. And understanding the differences helps students maximize their chances of admission.

Hundreds of admitted studentsare denied US student visas every year. This book helps students understand US visa requirements and makes them better candidates for F-1 visas.

This book is informative, instructive, illuminating AND entertaining.

Also present on the occasion were Ms. Rohini and Mr. Nandan Nilekani who said;”This book addresses a huge gap in knowledge, information and know-how, and is a must read for international students, parents and teachers; school, college and university libraries and anyone else involved in U.S. educational admissions”

America has always been a student’s favourite destination but the students have been struggling with getting the correct information. The Guide has concentrates primarily on International students, there are many books available in the market today that are written by American Authors for American students however as far as international students are concerned, they have requirements for special information and this book provides them with not just application procedures but also an insight into the life of being a student in the United States.
