Subject: COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES IN THE USA (REVISION
1)
My Dear Friends: It is now October, and those U.S. and Canadian 12th graders, and I.B. and A-Level students are making preparations for their University and Collegiate studies. Success in the United States University college application process can appear to be simple; however, it is full of nuances and twists that can make all the difference in maximizing the opportunities that are there for you if you can locate them. I have assembled a reference skeleton for the current students. I hope that you find it useful. The internet resources here ONLY apply to colleges and universities WITHIN the United States of America and its territories. If there are applicable resources of which you are aware that are NOT herein listed, please, e-mail us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] & [EMAIL PROTECTED] in order that they may be shared with everyone. Each College or University within the United States has its own policies addressing NON-American/Foreign Undergraduate students, and I highly suggest that you contact them directly - E-MAIL IS AWESOME - for a personal reply. If you have questions about a College or University or the application process anywhere in the globe, please, feel free to e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] & [EMAIL PROTECTED], because it is highly probable the at least one alumnus/a in the United World College electronic communities has a useful reply for you.
