Information Resources And Help - Applying - Forum - USApplicants

Hey

Im a prospective applicant to University in America, i would be applying for universities this time next year, i know its quite awhile off but i wanted to get a head start on the research.

i was just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some helpful general information regarding applications to the US?

I already have done a little research and i have a general idea of the universities and courses i wish to apply for.

Thanks

Tom

Dear Tom,

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you - the holidays have been extremely busy. The Fulbright Commission is an excellent place to start looking; otherwise, you can post specific questions here, and I'll do my best to answer them myself. Most US universities offer financial aid to UK students; a list can be found at www.admissionsadvice.com.

Good luck,

Harry

Thanks Harry, i will have a look at the list.

ive already decided i wish to study in MA, as close to Boston as possible.

I already have friends out there so that should make things easier once im attending uni.

Ive already looked at the universitys in the area and i cant see any that offer financial aid to UK students and most grants i dont seem to be elligable for as i wish to study primary/elementary education. so if you know any aid availible to me that would help?

Also i was just wondering about tuition for the SAT test. maths is my weak spot so just wondering if you could give me an estimate of how much tuition would cost?

many thanks

Tom
