You’ll need these key documents for U.S. university admissions:

- Academic transcripts and degree certificates from all post-secondary education
- Statement of Purpose (SOP)
- 2 - 3 Letters of Recommendation (LOR)
- English language test scores (IELTS, TOEFL, etc.)
- Standardized test scores (GRE, GMAT) if required by your program
- Resume or CV
- Passport copy
- Financial documents (bank statements, proof of funds)
- Application fee receipt

Your LinkedIn profile is not typically required unless a university specifically asks for it. Focus on the standard documents above.
