2021-08-10 20:12:53 Друзья, публикую свое сочиненииe, чтобы ознакомить школьников из СНГ с объемом и интенсивностью обучения в Yale-NUS College и потенциально других качественных вузах в Американской системе образования.

Сочинение было написано для класса “Political Economy of Capitalism”. При этом мы прошли весь материал (несколько сотен страниц), к которому я ссылаюсь в моей работе, всего за два месяца. Я получил A- за сочинение, но оно требует дальнейшей редакции и изменений.

2021-08-10 14:17:41 Admissions With Umid: Applying for Financial Aid through CSS

• What is CSS and why do I need it?

The CSS profile is an application for college financial aid accepted by almost 400 institutions across the US. The CSS gives the financial aid committee a thorough review of your financial circumstances that further allows them to determine whether or not you need aid. The online application will require you to answer a series of questions that may ask you anything from calculating your parental living expenses (money spent on utilities, food, clothing) to listing all the assets owned by your family (business, real estate, jewelry). Try to be as precise as possible while filling out the application and keep in mind that most colleges will require you to submit your CSS profile by February 1. To start your CSS profile, go to https://cssprofile.collegeboard.org

• What happens after I send my CSS profile?

Having paid the application fee (unless you have a fee waiver), you will be waiting for colleges to reach out back to you. They will request to send them any official documentation that might help them to determine your financial need. These documents include your parents’ income information, parents’ tax return, parents’ assets, student’s tax return, etc. Therefore, when filling out the CSS profile, be precise and honest in stating how much money your family earns and spends in a year. Upon admission to the university, you will be able to view your financial aid package right on the decision day.
