Select the University from Multiple Admits


Students have a sigh of relief when they receive admit from at least one desired university. But they find themselves at crossroads when they receive admits from multiple universities. At such times there are certain things to be taken into consideration while selecting the university. The very first thing to be checked is the ranking of the university. Ranking may not give you a complete picture but you need to dig deeper and deeper for specific program ranking. Ultimately reputation of university is correlated to the jobs, so take a glance at the placement history of the university. The next thing to be checked is the financial aid you are getting from the university which will help you to reduce the heavy burdens of fees. Try to choose the location which is suitable for you with respect to living expenses and weather.

If you are confused between two average run universities then try to select the one in city area where the number of industries are more. This will increase your exposure to many industries.e.g. the colleges which are in Metropolitan cites are highly visited by the companies than the village areas. Similar strategy can be applied to other countries.

To Believe What We Say


To Believe What We Say


1St : Our company's name is TestMentor’s SAT/ACT Test Preparation and we have a team of standardized test researchers who have worked on developing our study guide for the SAT/ACT test. The standards for who gets to work on the team are very strict- we demand the best for our customers, and only those who met our exacting standards made the cut. The dedicated research staff have years of combined experience in mastering the content and skills necessary to succeed on the toughest exams. You're going to save time, money, and aggravation. You'll learn to avoid the mistakes and the bad strategies that you've been vulnerable to. Just for starters, here are some ways our product can help your score on the SAT/ACT test.

2nd  : A common approach is to TEACH the material, instead of TEACHING THE TEST. That's not necessarily good enough for the SAT/ACT test- you have to know how to apply the knowledge. Most test takers already have a general knowledge of the material that will be covered on the exam. Our guide addresses the difference between merely knowing the material and knowing how to use the material to perform on test day.

3rd : We believe we have succeeded in finding the secret keys of the exam. What we found was surprising, and in some cases ridiculously simple once explained to the average test taker. We put the findings together in a thorough, concise study guide that we believe allows any test taker, at any skill level, to improve his or her results dramatically with a minimum of effort.

We all survived finals even though they seemed like they were going to kill us and with all the stress of finals also came the sadness that Fresher’s year was almost over. Seeing everyone move out of the dorms was such a sad thing to experience. I think we all enjoyed our first year so much and are all sad it’s over. The day before my roommate and I moved out, we were packing up and kept repeating how we couldn’t believe we weren’t going to live in the dorm anymore and how close this year was from ending. We decided to come up with a few things that we either did or wish we did this past Freshman year.. So here they are a few FRESHER'S YEAR MUST DO’s.

1.       Attend as many events as possible

2.       Get involved

Applying for U.S. University /College/ Schools clear 5 points...


When applying to U.S. University /College/ Schools:
 
Asking the following set of questions can help you get a clear sense of a school's financial aid situation – and whether or not it is somewhere you should consider applying to or attending. 

1. Will you be able to meet my family's full financial need? 

Do not be hesitate to ask this question. You do not want to waste time applying to the schools that cannot meet your need. If your family can only pay $15,000 per year, for example, your admissions chances might be in jeopardy. 

You may get an answer that the school will not be able to bridge the payment gap. That is OK, as you at least will know that the school is off your list.​ Asking a counselor can save you a lot of time when choosing colleges that can meet your financial needs.

2. Can international students qualify for financial aid?

This information can usually be found in the school's website, yet it is subject to change. When I was applying, I knew a several students who were applying to a certain liberal arts college hoping that they would get financial aid, but there was no information on its website at the time. 

However, while that college offered scholarships and need-based financial aid for U.S. citizens, it only awarded merit scholarships to qualified international students. To avoid this type of misunderstanding, it is critical that you check with your counselor about whether international students are considered for financial aid.​

3. How much is tuition expected to increase each year?

Many colleges increase the amount of financial aid awarded every year to make sure that families pay the same amount as they did the first year. However, it is still crucial to know what increase in tuition to expect. If the change is considerably higher that what you and your family have expected, it will put a burden on your parents, who may be struggling to pay for your tuition.
 
4. Are international students charged the same tuition and fees as American students?

At private colleges, international students  generally pay the same fees as all other students. At public and state schools, international students generally pay what's known as out-of-state tuition, which can be a lot higher than the in-state tuition. But in a few cases, international students are given incentives and only pay the low in-state tuition.​ With that being said, paying tuition can become a bit complex, and it is necessary that you ask your counselors to find out the amount that you need to pay.
 

5. What factors most influence my chance of getting financial aid?

Some schools look for students with good performance on the SAT, a high GPA and participation in extracurricular. In this case, you should work on bringing your scores up and be as active in clubs and activities as possible. Other schools may be looking for someone with some unique artistic talents.

In that case, sending a footage of you mastering the piano could be just as valuable as a high SAT score – but be attentive to your academic performance as well, schools won't necessarily accept students who are failing courses, regardless of their musical talent.

 

These five questions will help you get a clear sense of how financial aid policies in U.S colleges could influence where you'll send your applications. However, they are not the only questions that you should ask. Be sure to bring up as many as you think of, because the more you understand how schools offer financial aid, the smoother your application process will be.

Moreover, before asking your counselors any questions, make sure that you have done careful research about each school's financial aid policies. Don't ask officials questions where the answers can be found online in seconds.

Evaluation of SAT Score....


Evaluation of SAT Score:

 

SAT scores are based on a student's percentile relative to other students taking the same test. Scoring of the SAT Test is done in two ways: raw and scaled. The raw score is a tabulation of questions answered correctly or incorrectly. Students are encouraged not to leave answers blank because they are not penalized for wrong or blank answers in a student-produced answer section. Students receive 1 point for a correct answer and have 1/4 point deducted for wrong answers to a multiple-choice question only. The amount of points deducted depends on how many options there are for that particular multiple-choice question. The more multiple-choice question options there are, the smaller the fraction of a point deducted. Students are not penalized for wrong answers on other types of questions. Questions left unanswered do not affect raw scores.

 

The scaled score normalizes for different forms of the test taken by different students at different times. Students receive test scores by mail within 3 to 6 weeks of taking the test. They are given their raw score as well as their percentile that ranks how many other test-takers got a lower score. For example, scoring in the 90th percentile means that student scored higher than 90 percent of everyone else.
