In an online chat on April 15 Ryan Pereira, Himanshu Dev and Behrooz Avari, Educational Advisors with United States India Educational Foundation answered readers' queries related to US higher education system, application process, shortlisting universities, admission tests, recommendation letters, effective statement of purpose, applying for financial aid, organising successful applications and classroom culture.
Here's the unedited chat transcript:
mamu asked, Dear Behrooz, how to get the effective statement of purpose and why is it important?
Behrooz answers, at 2011-04-15 14:08:06The statement of purpose or SOP is the most critical document in your application packet. Since, the university admissions committee does not know you as a person, and you will not be going to meet them, it it your SOP that speaks for you. To write an effective SOP you really need to brainstorm, and let the university know your unique points, why you chose the university, why are you a good fit for the university, and also your academic and professional goals.

When should I expect results from them? Is it high time to apply for VISA as my score is low?
ryan answers, Hi Bhushan, Congrats at getting admission at some fine universities in the US. You might want to get in touch with the Indian Student association at the respective schools since they would have a better idea regarding the placements for those particular schools. You might want to contact the remaining schools to find out when they will be making their decision. We always recommend that people apply for their visa as soon as possible which is 120 days before the start of their chosen course of study.
Navendu asked, Hi, I want to do a part time(Evening Class)MS degree. Is there any scope for getting there in any university or college for doing the partime MS?
Behrooz answers, As an international student in the US, you have to be a full-time student. You might want to look at online programs though.
popli asked, i am lawyer in India and want to study law in us.how to go about it.
Himanshu Dev answers, Hi Popli, you will have to take LSAT to go to a law school.
popli asked, i am lawyer in India and want to study law in us.how to go about it.
ryan answers, Hi Popli, The legal system in the United States, on the federal level and in almost all states, is based on the British system of common law. One state, Louisiana, has a system modeled on the French legal code. First Professional Degree The U.S. first professional degree, the juris doctor (J.D.), provides an education strongly focused on preparation for U.S. practice, with little opportunity for comparative or specialty study. For this reason, and because preparation in U.S. law will not easily transfer toward practice in other countries, the J.D. is usually inappropriate for foreign nationals. Although law schools offer individual courses that emphasize particular subject areas such as environmental law or taxation, there are no J.D. programs concentrating on any single specialty. J.D. degree programs involve three years of study, and are entered following four years of undergraduate study in any major. Competition for admission is intense for both U.S. and international students. Requirements generally include fluency in English, an excellent undergraduate academic record, and a satisfactory score on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). (See http://www.lsac.org for LSAT registration information.) To practice in the United States, graduates must also pass the bar examination and other requirements of the state where they wish to work. Graduate Legal Education The master of comparative law (M.C.L.), also known as the master of comparative jurisprudence (M.C.J.), is a particularly appropriate degree program for international lawyers. Recognizing that legal systems in many countries differ from common law as practiced in the United States; these programs acquaint lawyers from other countries with U.S. legal institutions and relevant specialties of U.S. law. Another graduate option is the master of laws (L.L.M.), a degree offered in a variety of specialties or as a self-designed program, with appropriateness for the international practitioner varying from program to program. Programs in international law or international business law may also be of interest. Almost all master's programs in law last one year and admit students only for the fall semester. Programs can be planned according to the interests of the student. During study, international lawyers have the opportunity to observe courts and government agencies in the United States. Entrance requirements include a first degree in law, a strong academic background, and letters of Reference, a statement of purpose and/or writing samples, and a high level of English proficiency as demonstrated by the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for students whose law degree was not in the English language. Most graduate law programs do not require standardized admissions tests. Doctoral programs in law also exist. They admit only a small number of promising applicants, usually from among those who have completed a master's program at a U.S. law school and who plan to enter a career as a law school faculty member. Financial assistance may be more readily available to law students intending to continue towards a doctoral degree than to those seeking only a one-year master's program. Short-term Legal Education Many U.S. law schools offer programs, particularly in the summer, either designed for or appropriate for international lawyers. These usually last between one week and two months. Professional associations and private training organizations offer similar programs. Your nearest U.S. educational information or advising center may be able to provide information on other options, such as tours to visit U.S. legal institutions. ✏ U.S. first professional degree programs in law (J.D.) are generally not appropriate for individuals planning to practice law outside the United States. However, a variety of other degree and short-term options specifically designed for international students exist at the graduate level.

ap asked, how to get admitted in MIT for undergraduate engineering courses
Behrooz answers, Getting into engineering courses at MIT is highly competitive. You need to have really good academic records, and an above average score on SAT and SAT subject tests. But, having said that, remember that they are looking at an all-rounded profile.
Sunny asked, Can we do Master course in Social work or History in USA ?
Himanshu Dev answers, Yes Sunny, MSW and MA History is available in several universities. You can go to http://www.EducationUSA.state.gov to see links to different websites to search universities and programs.

nim asked, what is the best option in MBA for a person having 5 years of IT exp ...
Behrooz answers, Most US Universities require at least 2-3 years of work-experience. So, with your 5 years, you might stand a good chance provided you do well in your GMAT and on the MBA interview
BD asked, Hi I would like to know how advantageous it would be to study in USA, doing MBA after 7 years of experience & one MBA from India.Kindly advice
Behrooz answers, It depends on what you plan to get out of your MBA. An MBA from the US will help you in terms of interacting with other international students -- this will broaden your outlook and make you more globally competitive. Further as a student on an F-1 visa you have the benefit of doing the OPT (Optional Practical Training) for one year after you have graduated.

Sidharth asked, I have 9 yrs of work experience.I have a degree in BE (Electeonics and telecom) and i plan to pursue MS in Telecommunication.What according to you will outwieigh the other.....Will the university folks stress on my educational qualification or my telecom work experience???

rishi asked, HI, I'm in 3rd year of my B.Tech and want to pusue MS from a good US univeristy . Pls advise on required exams ( GRE . TOefl ) and timelines after my finals this year .
Behrooz answers, The GRE is changing from Aug 1, 2011. If you want to take the old GRE you will need to give it before July 31. The U.S. academic year begins in late August or early September, (Fall) and many universities will also accept applications for January admission. The following is the preferred timetable for applying to U.S. universities, beginning the year before an August entry. June-August Talk with your family about financial resources Visit USIEF Mumbai and become familiar with the application process. Register for tests such as the TOEFL, SAT, SATII, GRE, or GMAT August-November Take entrance tests Research universities and identify between four and ten that meet your needs December-March Pay careful attention to deadline dates. Submit applications June-July Apply for a student visa Attend a pre-departure orientation program held by USIEF Mumbai

sunil dabas asked, i am having six year teaching experience of mathematics now i want to do phd mathematics tell me what is the procedure for the same
ryan answers, Hi Sunil, The application process may seem like a very complicated process, with a mountain of paperwork to complete and many deadlines. Here are a number of things to remember about the application process for international students. It is advisable to start this process approximately eighteen months before you plan to begin studies in the U.S. The American academic year begins between August and September, and a majority of undergraduate students generally are admitted into the Fall term. A) Obtain information about institutions that offer the program you want to pursue. Contact an EducationUSA Adviser in your area, use reference guides and surf the Internet to locate specific institutions that offer the degree you are seeking. B) Communicate directly with the admissions offices of the U.S. educational institutions to obtain information and application forms. Indicate the major academic area of interest to you. Make sure that you have your name printed consistently and clearly on all correspondence. C) Read all materials received carefully to determine: whether the program you want is offered; whether you meet the minimum academic requirement; if you require financial assistance; whether your proposed program is available; and whether you can meet the application deadlines. D) Apply to more than one institution (at least five). U.S. institutions receive many applications and often cannot accommodate all qualified applicants. You may decide which institution to attend after you have received your letters of acceptance. E) Complete the admission application carefully and thoroughly. Be consistent when giving your name and contact information on the application and in all correspondence. If some of your records are under a different name, be sure you indicate that on the application. Complete all items on the application and submit all items requested. F) Submit the appropriate application fee in U.S. currency (bank cheques, money orders or by credit card) with your application. Most institutions will not process an application without the fee. G) Provide official academic records from local secondary and/or tertiary level institutions both in the native language and in English translation. Official documents must bear the seal of the school and authorized signature. Photocopies are not usually acceptable unless they are officially attested as exact copies of the original document. H) Non-native English speakers are usually required to take an English proficiency exam such as TOEFL or IELTS. Register early for either of these exams and request that the your scores are forwarded to the institutions to which you are applying. I) Register for the tests required by the institution to which you are applying (for example: SAT or ACT tests are typically suggested for undergraduate applicants, and GRE or GMAT are accepted by graduate admission programs.) J) Request letters of recommendation as required by the program/institution. Teachers and guidance counselors, professors, mentors, and supervisors generally write these letters. K) Submit verification of scholarship or other financial support. L) Note the deadlines for application. Allow time for mail delays, application consideration, and for obtaining passport and visa when you are admitted. Apply early. M) Allow 6 to 8 weeks after sending your complete application to the institution of your choice for an admission decision. Many schools and departments, however, send admission offers around March and April for the fall semester. N) If you receive an offer of acceptance and decide not to accept it is courteous to notify an institution if you will not accept their offer of admission. O) Remember: Institutions will only forward the Certificate of Eligibility (I-20 or DS-2019) after you have been accepted, your level of English proficiency has been determined, and your funding has been established as sufficient to meet the institution's expenses. Once you receive the eligibility certificate you can the apply for a student visa. All the best to you.

AKbar asked, im not clear about fall or spring admissions? can you tell me when all the admissioins begin in the U.S for Masters in IT?
Himanshu Dev answers, Below is the recommended timetable for applying to universities in the United States. It is sometimes possible to complete the process more quickly, but you may have a much more limited choice of schools. Planning well ahead gives you sufficient time to make successful applications to the colleges of your choice. 12 TO 18 MONTHS PRIOR to the academic year in which you hope to enroll, begin to consider, research, and do the following: What are your reasons for wanting to study in the United States? Which universities will meet your needs? Will you need financial assistance? Find out application and financial aid deadlines. This will affect when you take the standardized tests required for admission since test results must reach admissions offices no later than these deadlines. The tests should be taken in advance of submitting university application forms. Register to take standardized tests if required by the universities to which you are applying. Begin narrowing down your choices of schools to at list 3 institutions. 12 MONTHS PRIOR to enrollment, complete the following (months indicated are estimates, based on fall enrollment): AUGUST Contact universities for application and financial aid forms and catalogs. Register to take required standardized test (TOEFL, SAT I/ SAT II (undrgraduate level), GRE General Test/ GRE Suject, GMAT (graduate level) or other admissions tests, as necessary SEPTEMBER â" DECEMBER Request an official transcript from your school. Request letters of recommendation from your teachers. Submit completed application forms (for admission as well as financial aid). Double check that transcripts and references have been sent. Take the necessary admissions tests. JANUARY â" APRIL University application deadlines must be met; note that these are for regular admission â" early admission deadlines will be sooner. APRIL â" JUNE Letters of acceptance or rejection arrive. Decide which university to attend, notify the admissions office of your decision, complete and return any forms they require. Send letters of regret to those universities you turn down. Organize finances: arrange to transfer funds to a U.S. bank; make sure you have funds for travel and expenses on arrival. Finalize arrangements for housing and medical insurance with your university. JUNE â" AUGUST Use information from your Form I-20 or DS-2019 to fill out the SEVIS Form I-901 and pay the $100 required SEVIS fee (see SEVIS information for description of SEVIS form and fee). Upon receipt of your I-20 and SEVIS I-901 payment receipt, apply to your nearest U.S. embassy or consulate for a visa. This should be as far in advance of your departure date as possible (see "Student Visas"). Make travel arrangements. Contact the International Student Office at your university with details of your arrival plans, and confirm details of any orientation for new students held by the university. (Information was taken from http://www.educationusa.state.gov)

I am trying for the scholarships but the university itself is not in position to speak up about it at present moment. Can you please let me know if I can have any alternative to get the scholarships.
Behrooz answers, Do a search for trusts in India that offer scholarships or loan scholarships. There are plenty, but you need to work hard to get the information
Sushruth asked, I am doing M.Sc. in medical radiation physics in uk. Guide for Ph.D. in US
ryan answers, Hi Sushruth, You could start by looking for colleges that offer that course at the PhD level. I suggest searching on the www.educationusa.info website for possible schools. You then have to do the standardized exams usually the GRE and TOEFL (check with each school you plan on applying to). Then get the applications ready, this involves writing your SOP and getting the recommendation letters. Try and send the application in by end of December (some schools might want the application earlier). While you wait to hear from the schools, you might want to read up about the research done at each school and identify people you might want to work with for your PhD. Good luck and all the best.
AKbar asked, Is phd higher then masters?
ryan answers, Hi Akbar, The PhD is usually a terminal degree done after one gets a masters' degree.
