To study in USA is the dream of more than million students all over the world as USA has many top universities with the best and latest curriculum. From India, annually more than 2,00,000 students go to USA to study abroad and the number of students is rising every year. In that students going for Masters in USA are majority.

So does that mean that students having 15 years of educational experience are not permitted to study in the USA and pursue their higher education?
