Eng Mona Hegazy2]: To Amber: Can you explain what are some Effective Strategies for Applying to US Universities?
A [EducationUSA Webchat Guests]: One effective strategy that works for students applying to the university where I work is to make a strong connection with someone in the international student programs office or the office of admissions. It’s also important to have as much information as you can prior to applying. Be sure you know what materials you need in order to apply, and if you have questions, to ask:). Some materials are required for virtually all universities: Application, Application Fee, Official Transcripts (for H.S. and/or university), and Financial Documents (bank statement, financial guarantee). Other forms may be required. The more research you do prior to applying, the better! Good luck! AIT Moderator: Question from Taiwan student: 職業學校畢業生可直接申請美國碩士學位嗎？ Answer: 一般美國大學的研究所只接受從大學畢業、拿到學士學位的學生。有一些私立學校宣稱他們接受專科畢業生進入其研究所就讀。這個說法並非完全正確。因為進一步審查這些學校的入學條件，這些學校要求沒有具備基礎課程的學生必須修讀校方提供的大學部基礎預備課程，修畢之後，才能進入研究所課程。基礎課程的學分不算在研究所課程的學分之中。 最有利的方法是先取得大學學位，再申請研究所，這樣才會有較多選擇的機會。 Q [IRC ANTANANARIVO2
