2009US University Fair Guide


2009 US University Fair Guide



Welcome to U.S.Educational Group’s

Fall 2009 Fair

On behalf of the U.S. Educational Group (USEG),

I would like to welcome you to our Middle East

Fall 2009 fairs in Beirut, Amman, Aqaba, Manama,

Dammam, Doha, Kuwait City, Abu Dhabi, Dubai.

We believe these fairs will help you find the

right higher educational program that you are

interested in and that is the right fit for you.

The U.S. Educational Group is committed to

assisting in that search. We recognize that

international education offers opportunities to

acquire training, knowledge, and understanding

which will enhance you, your country and the

world.

Hopefully you are looking forward to all the

opportunities that come with living in a foreign

country, and our staff at USEG is committed

to assisting you in your pursuits of higher

education.

Many students that come to the fairs ask us

about the application process, so we have put

together a brief guide to Applying to an American

University.

Applying to an American University.

The application process for undergraduate

U.S. Educational Group • www.al-jamiat.com U.S. Educational Group • www.al-jamiat.com


1

admissions in the United States is a fairly

involved and complicated process. International

students are usually unaware of the time that U.S.

application process requires, and that it must be

started approximately one year before you expect

to enroll.

Determining which of the hundreds of colleges and

universities will best suit your needs is a complex

process. Selecting the right school to attend

requires thoughtful research and understanding

the type of education you are looking for. With

the diverse choices offered in the United States -

from small community colleges offering two year

degrees to world-renowned universities with

full PhD programs, the choices are sometimes

daunting.

It helps to begin your search by either narrowing

down the geographic location, or the type of

school you are interested in, public, private, small,

or large. Many websites, books, and magazines are

created to help you with your process, and by

attending this fair, you caretaking an excellent

first step to narrowing your choices. The colleges

and universities listed on the following pages have

comprehensive websites showing the admissions

criteria and available courses of study.

After you have narrowed your choices to 5-8

schools, you are ready to begin the application.

While all colleges and universities have different

requirements for admissions and deadlines, in

general there are 6 steps to the application:





2

• Application form and fee - All colleges

now allow applicants to apply for admission

through online applications, which makes

the process much simpler and more efficient

for most overseas candidates. You may still

request traditional paper applications or print

them directly from the university website.

• Essay - the essay may be one of the most

important parts of the application. Not

only does it allow you a chance to tell the

admissions officer more about yourself

and what you feel is important, but also to

showcase your writing skills.

• Letters of recommendation - all schools

require you to submit 2 or 3 letters of

recommendation from a teacher or other

people who know you well. It is important

that you ask the recommender to write you

these letters early so you can be sure to

receive them on time.

• Standardized tests - for undergraduate

admission most schools require the SAT and

TOEFL, while for graduate admission, each

discipline has a different required exam. The

times of these exams are set, and you must

register for them months in advance.

• Transcripts - official copies of your grades

from your school must be sent directly to

the university and include a list of completed

courses and grades. If the original documents

are not in English, a notarized translation

must accompany your official transcripts.

• Letter of support - You are required to

provide proof that you will have the financial

resources to support you while you are a

student in the United States.

Once you have submitted your application,

you will wait approximately 2-4 months before

receiving a response from the university. After

your acceptance letter and I-20 have arrived, you

will be required to apply for your student visa and

bring all the supporting documentation.

It is important for students graduating from

high school to understand that applying for law

school, medical school, dentistry school, and an

MBA (Master’s in Business Administration) in the

United States requires a 4-year college degree.

This means you would have to have completed

your Bachelor’s degree already to be able to

attend one of these programs.

We hope this fair will be a positive experience for

you, allowing you to find the school that is the best

fit for you. We hope you will visit our website at

www.al-jamiat.com for more information about

colleges and universities, the application process,

graduate studies, and to join our mailing list. Many

thanks for coming to the fair!

Regards,

Joseph Z. Humadi

President
