Conditional means that you have a place on that course providing that you meet certain criteria, it should state on your offer what that is,\nGenerally it is dependant on grades, and the uni will state what grades that they will accept on that course, It could be on an audition or interview basis also.\n\nI would suggest calling the uni and asking what their conditions are if it is not stated in the letter, you will have a clearer understanding of their requirements then, dont worry though as it will defo not do your nerves any good!\n\nGood luck getting in

It has a few meanings.  It means self-starter.  If can also mean starting a computer (booting up a computer.)  \n\nThe original meaning comes from a loop attached to a boot that the wearer yanks on to get the boot on his/her foot.  ie. you dressed yourself.  You did something without help.

My dear, this is actually a sign that you are meant to go to graduate school!\n\nI advise graduate students, and your feelings are absolutely normal, and quite common.  I call this anxiety and this feeling of unworthiness "academic disease."  Perhaps a bit ironically, this "disease" will most probably recur throughout your course of study if you are passionate about your study and dedicated to your work, and will ebb if you are not.  \n\nThis is because smart and passionate people always face a good deal of self-doubt, because the more they learn, the more  acutely aware they are of how much they DON'T know.  Folks who are less driven undergo much less anxiety because they are much more impressed with their own achievements.  ;)\n\nYou'll be fine.  I promise.  You will even laugh about this with your new colleagues when you begin your program in the fall.  (Ask them about their "academic anxiety" dreams... you'll be surprised by the common themes, and you'll start to forge bonds with your cohort.)

If you were denied under 214(b), it actually means that you did not convince the interviewing officer that you will not stay on after your studies in the US are over.  If you genuinely do intend to go home when you graduate, you need to be able to explain very clearly and in detail how you plan to use your US education in your own country.

Actually your first question probably answers your second!! X University means it has always been a university. The University of x means either that it used to be a Polytechnic (originally designed to offer more work based courses) or that it is the second university in a town.\n\nThere are books published giving reports of universities to tell you what they're like but I also strongly recommend asking your teachers (I am a teacher!) not necessarily your form tutor but someone you know and like, ask your parents but most importantly do go and visit them. Allows twice as much time as you think you will need to make your decision as you always over run. Phone any uni you're considering and ask them about open days and also consider distance from home, cost of accomodation etc.\n\nWhether you go to a Uni of X or X uni depends on the individual institution and what you want to study. I got 4 high grade A'levels and chose to go to a Uni of X because it did the course that was best for the job I wanted (media). I got my job before I'd even left!\n\nGood luck!!

Maybe you can sneak in if someone drops out? Lots of people drop out for various reasons but you should contact the uni and find out some more information ;-)

it means that your degree is a "science" that is applied to your job. ex: I have a degree in CJ, A.A.S. it means I apply criminal justice to my job

You probably use it to check the status of your application on line.  You need to wait now to see if  you get a letter of acceptance.

I'm not sure either.  Perhaps you're talking about the admissions counselors?  Admissions is the office that recruits students for the colleges.  Is that what you mean?

i was waiting for my financial aid award letter last fall and when it didn't come i called the financial aid office at my university.  they said i am not eligible for financial aid because i am an illegal alien.  i said i and NOT an illegal alien, i was born in Minnesota.  their response was to tell me to bring in my green card showing that i was born in Minnesota and then i would get my money.  apparently they think Minnesota is in a different country or something.  makes me really debate the value of my degree from this institution.

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you need to pay your account and get a transcript of the college you have already attended. You will be asked on your application to college what institutions you have already attended and you must answer honestly.\n\nIf you were to answer dishonestly, this behavior could become known at a future time if not now and cause you difficulty.

I have never heard of any persae.. BUT the best way to find out is to email to various universities and find out thru that way.. It is much faster than sending letters to each one(University)

Congrats on your achievement.\nWhat makes you think you will be automatically sent somewhere. This is a free country (somewhat), so you can apply to go to any college you like. I suggest you apply to a few, just incase your first choice is unavailable. If you choose not to apply to anywhere, you may still be approached by a head hunter and get offered a part or full scholarship, but DO NOT RELY ON THIS TO HAPPEN. you do not have to accept when they offer, either, so if this has already happened you can choose where you want to go all expenses paid (of the colleges that offered). \nITS UP TO YOU NOW!

You can go back and edit any part of your application. What you could do is type the reference in putting all the info such as contact details etc...  send them also a copy (scan it) of the reference and don't forget to let him know what you've done.   Good luck with your application, I just sent mine (I'm a so called mature student!)

Usually when colleges say something, they mean it. Accepted or not, they have the right and ability to withdraw their offer.\n\nI don't know how strict this particular school is, but it's definitely something to worry about.
