( school requirements): based on the last module you should have at least three schools. Now for this exercise:
Go to each of their websites and write down in your notes:
1- undergraduate requirements: look for grades in high school, what type of tests and courses they accept (AP, IB, school-based honors and transferable college courses..etc).
2- international student requirements: look for English requirements, and what type of certificate they ask for based on your country, also check to see if they have a special contact or anything else you should note.
3- go and check their stats for acceptance, what % do they admit, and write it down. This will give you an insight on how competitive the school is.
4- read on what is it exactly they are looking for in an applicant, how to answer their questions, normally found under “ tips”. Copy this part onto your notes and read them carefully and understand clearly what they are asking for and who are they looking for.
And most importantly you must discuss this with your group! After the discussion come back to your notes and rewrite down in your own words what you have understood from step4, this is important because it will define the style that will write your CV and SOP.
// First Section
// Requirements
| 1. Undergraduate requirements: look for grades in high school, what type of tests and courses they accept (AP, IB, school-based honors and transferable college courses..etc). |  |
| 2. You must be matriculants! Write down everything |  |
| 3. International student requirements: look for English requirements, and what type of certificate they ask for based on your country, also check to see if they have a special contact or anything else you should note. |  |
// Second Section
// What to do!
| 1. Go to the website for each school on your list; start one by one and take your time. We have provided space for you to write down every detail. Just copy and past it. |  |
| 2. Discuss what you have found with the group. And if you have any questions ask your advisor. |  |
// An example: UCLA
| https://admission.ucla.edu/apply/freshman |  |
| I. Admission requirements: 1. Requirement: “ SAT” , “AP”, “3”,…. 2. Requirement value: ( what is minimum score?) |  |
| ii. Record the application deadline |  |
// Third Section
// International student requirements
| 1. International students have their own special requirements, but some of the original requirements are still effective unless stated otherwise. | |
| 2. Each university has its own system for international students; this follows with what was recommended for you earlier in chapter 2. |  |
| 3. Again, we have provided you with a space to write the requirements. | |
The rule is: requirements can not be negated by the international requirements unless stated clearly!
