Admission requirements

Undergraduate Admissions Examinations
Language proficiency: Many colleges and universities require all applicants to take one or more academic entrance examinations in addition to TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). Two-year colleges usually require only TOEFL. To determine your level of English language proficiency, arrange to take the TOEFL as early as possible --at least a year before you plan to enroll. The total score is 300. Most institutions require a score of around 250 on the TOEFL examination for academic admission. A few accept scores as low as 200; selective institutions may require 280 or above. Scores of 290 or above may also be required in fields such as journalism or literature, which demand a higher than average proficiency in English.
These tests are standardized, multiple choice tests that require a high degree of English proficiency. Some also require mathematical skills or in-depth knowledge of content related to the field of study. To obtain information about these examinations, consult your advising center.
To find out if you need to take one or more of these entrance examinations, consult reference books at the advising center. These reference books also give ranges of the score levels of successful applicants. There are no passing or failing grades on these examinations, but your score will have an effect on the overall competitiveness of your application.
These tests are only one of the factors in the evaluation of a foreign student's record. Admissions officers are aware that you may be taking the examinations in a language other than your native tongue, and they will take this into account.

Graduate Admissions Examinations (Masters …)
After finishing four years of undergraduate education, in the US or elsewhere in the world, and attaining your B.A. degree, you may apply to enroll in graduate school. The excellence of your grades, especially in the domain you wish to study, is a must and will heavily influence the choice and possibility of your acceptance. Therefore, your choice of whether or not you will go to graduate school should be made well in advance before you graduate. All graduate schools require entrance exams, either GRE (Graduate Record Examination), GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test), LSAT (Law School Admission Test) or MCAT for Medical School. All further information regarding these tests can be found on the official website: www.kaplan.com

Diploma equivalences:
There are official institutions and web sites that, for a fee, do credential and grades translations. Most, however not all, universities, especially graduate schools, will require your grades and diplomas to be translated into the American system. For information on these institutions and where to find them in your own country, contact the the Department of State-Affiliated Educational Advising Centers whose addresses and contacts can be found at: http://exchanges.state.gov/education/advise/asaeacs.htm or www.wes.org
