<p>You need to start by reading through everything at [EducationUSA</a> | Study Abroad, Student Visa, University Fairs, College Applications and Study in the U.S. / America](<a href=“http://educationusa.state.gov/]EducationUSA”>http://educationusa.state.gov/) Then you need to make an appointment with the counselors at the advising center in Seoul: [EducationUSA</a> - Center Profile - U.S. Education Center South Korea](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.info/USEC]EducationUSA”>http://www.educationusa.info/USEC) These counselors are expert at helping students from Korea find good places to study in the US. They will be able to tell you which colleges and universities here have admitted students like you in the past few years.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
