EDUCATION REPORT - Foreign Student Series #7: Applications
By Nancy Steinbach
Broadcast: October 31, 2002
This is the VOA Special English EDUCATION REPORT.
We continue our series of reports about how
people from foreign countries can attend a college or university in
the United States. A copy of this script can be found on the Special
English Web site at www.voaspecialenglish.com.
In earlier Education Reports, we have explained
how to begin your search at an education advising center. We also described
the new government rules for entering the country and studying in the
United States. If you want to study in the United States, it is time
to make a list of colleges and universities that interest you.
Be sure to choose more than one college. Directors
of foreign student admissions at American colleges say each student
should apply to at least three schools.
First, you must get applications from the colleges.
An application is a form you must complete to ask the college to admit
you as a student. You should request applications at least two years
before you want to begin studying in the United States.
You can find the address of the admissions office
in the college's catalog -- a publication that tells all about the school.
You can also find such information on the college's Web site on the
Internet computer system.
For example, the Ohio State University provides
application forms for international students on its Web pages. You can
answer all the questions on the computer and e-mail the application
directly to the university. Or you can copy the application forms to
your computer, print them, complete the questions and mail them to the
university.
Or, you can fill out a computer form to ask
the university to send you an application in the mail. If you cannot
use a computer, write a letter to the address given in the catalog.
Ask the college to send you the international
admission application. Write the letter clearly. List the schools you
have attended and any degrees you already have. Explain what you want
to study and what degree you are seeking. Explain when you want to begin
studying.
You will receive a letter or application from
each school. Complete the application and return it to the college.
Then you must wait until the college makes its decision.
