1. Admissions
Applying to schools is a grueling process for many college-bound students in the United States. In addition to entrance exams (SAT, GRE, etc.) and transcripts, most schools require a lot of personal information: essays, recommendations, lists of extracurricular activities, and sometimes interviews; even visits to the school itself can help. And most students apply to several schools at a time—5, 10, or even 20 at once. There are six basic steps in applying to a school (assuming you wish to enter the Fall Term):
1) Inquire: Find out as much as you can about the school and the application procedure; do this in the summer a year before the term begins.
2) Prepare: Gather all the necessary forms, letters, score reports, etc.; this should be done in the Fall of the year before you wish to study.
3) Apply: The deadline is usually January 1; most applications take more than a week to complete, so allow enough time.
