Prijavite se pozivom na broj 011/334 5227 ili na e-mail office@iacbg.org.
  7. Na na? deo sajta "Resursi" - http://www.iacbg.org/?_cat=7 - postavljeni su linkovi ka tri najva?nija dokumenta za strane studente. Ostala dokumenta pogledajte na www.america.gov.
  8. Ah da, čuvene bliznakinje :-) Nije problem ni za tebe da se učlani?, osnovna članarina je besplatna. To ?to pi?e 2009 na kartici znači samo da je članstvo započeto te godine. Postoji lista za probni test, imamo te podatke i mogu se proveriti. Videćemo ovih dana kako stoje stvari za knjige za SAT, a ti mo?e? uvek da svrati? da se učlani? ako ti je usput.
  9. Za savetovanje se prijavljujete pozivom na 011/334 5227 ili slanjem poruke na office@iacbg.org. Potrebno je da ostavite ime i prezime i broj telefona za kontakt. Bićete obave?teni nekoliko dana pre odr?avanja savetovanja o tačnom terminu. Knjige za SAT za sada imamo samo u okviru specijalne članarine. Moguće je da će u nekom sledećem periodu deo tih knjiga biti namenjen i za "obične" članove, čija je članarina besplatna. Međutim, u tom slučaju neće biti omogućena specijalna savetovanja i popusti koje imaju oni u okviru programa specijalne članarine. Bilo bi po?eljno da vidimo i va? nivo engleskog jezika, kako bi predavači i savetnici mogli da vam daju vi?e saveta za pripremu.
  10. Mo?da neće biti potrebno ba? toliko novca, s obzirom da mnogi koled?i daju finansijsku pomoć. Moguće je da će biti potrebno manje novca za studiranje sa va?e strane, jer će va? akademski profil dosta značiti toj obrazovnoj instituciji koju ?elite da upi?ete. Ako već niste bili na savetovanju za osnovne studije kod nas, svratite obavezno, jer će mnoge stvari biti rasvetljene posle toga. Najbitniji deo je strategija prijave i priprema potrebnih ispita. Odličan uspeh poma?e, vannastavne aktivnosti jo? vi?e, ali je vrlo bitno i kakvi su vam rezultati ispita koje bi trebalo da pola?ete. Tu mislimo na SAT i TOEFL.
  11. Pretpostavljam da su ovde u pitanju osnovne studije. Open House termini i grupna savetovanja počinju ponovo od kraja avgusta i početka septembra, tako da se mo?ete prijavljivati i raspitivati o tome već od kraja meseca. Stipendije za koje mo?ete da konkuri?ete su uglavnom vezane za same institucije. Kada proveravate uslove studiranja na američkim institucijama obavezno proverite da li daju finansijsku pomoć stranim dr?avljanima. Ako daju, mo?ete konkurisati za finansijsku pomoć sa svim ostalim dokumentima i rezultatima ispita. Na institucije koje ne daju pomoć nemojte se prijavljivati, po?to su veoma male mogućnosti da će se predomisliti. SAT se sastoji od matematike i engleskog, a vi?e detalja dostupno vam je na www.collegeboard.com. SAT je sličan ACT, ali opet postoje razlike. Da li je neki od njih te?i ili lak?i nije ipak na nama da ka?emo, ali vam je ipak mnogo lak?e da pola?ete SAT u zemlji nego da putujete u Rumuniju ili u Grčku da pola?ete ACT. Ukoliko neko od korisnika foruma mo?e da detaljno uporedi dva testa i iznese svoje mi?ljenje, dobrodo?ao je.
  12. http://www.america.gov/st/educ-english/2009/August/20090807173027CMretroP0.2671124.html&distid=ucs Get Ready, Here You Go Learning the fine points of currency exchange is a key step in an international journey. So you were accepted by a university in another country. You?re applying for a visa. Whew! You are ready to kiss your mother goodbye, pat the dog, and get on the plane, huh? Not so fast! There?s a lot more you need to do to prepare for an international trip. Your journey should be fun and exciting, but remember that the U.S. State Department alone must come to the assistance of 200,000 travelers each year who are victims of crime, accident, or illness, or whose family needs to make emergency contact. Anything can happen, but the consequences can sometimes be eased with the proper preparation. Long-Term Preparations Study up on the local conditions, government, politics, laws, weather, and culture of the country you?re visiting. All of these influences will be shaping your new environment every day. Know what you are getting into. Check with the foreign ministry of your home country to see if your government has issued any travel warnings or announcements for the place you are going. For instance, Americans can check for such information with the U.S. State Department at http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/tw/tw_1764.html. Think about your health and health care during the course of your trip. Turn to your nation?s embassy in your destination country to find out if you need vaccinations or immunizations to protect yourself from disease where you are going. If you need special medicines on a regular basis, make sure they are legal substances at your destination and plan for how you will be able to maintain the supply you?ll need. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also maintains comprehensive information on various health issues and conditions a traveler might encounter with advice on planning ahead. That Web site is available at http://www.cdc.gov/travel. You may be accustomed to a system of national health care that is nonexistent in other places. You?ll need to find out what options are available for your health care in your destination country, and what type of health and travel insurance will be valid in case of illness or accident. If you have allergies or an unusual medical condition, you should consider wearing a medical bracelet describing the appropriate treatment. If you plan on driving abroad, check with authorities in your destination to see if you need an International Driving Permit (IDP). The most reliable place to obtain an IDP is through national automobile associations. Also find out what auto insurance coverage is required. Short-Term Preparations A young traveler rushes through the airport at Duesseldorf, Germany. Leave copies of important documents with your family at home. This includes duplicates of your passport identification page, airline tickets, driver?s license, credit cards, itinerary, traveler?s check serial numbers, and contact information abroad. This information could be critical for relatives to assist if you are involved in an accident or emergency. Make sure your covered luggage tags are labeled with your name, address, and telephone numbers. Also, place your contact information inside each piece of luggage. Familiarize yourself with the air travel security guidelines for luggage, and find out how much luggage your airline will allow. Know the credit limits on all your credit cards, as well as how to contact those companies from abroad. Know the location and contact information for your nation?s embassy or consulate closest to your destination. If possible, register with the embassy upon your arrival so that it?s possible to find you in case of emergency. Plan for multiple ways to contact home: calling card, internationally accessible e-mail address, fax, and the like. Find out if your wireless mobile devices will work abroad. Order foreign currency and/or traveler?s checks. Find out if your financial institution is a member of electronic networks that will allow use of a debit card to directly access a checking account at home. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. For insurance purposes, create an itemized list of all that you?ve packed in your luggage. Arrange transportation to the airport in your home country. Inquire about ground transportation in the country your visiting, and how to reach your ultimate destination. Be prepared to make appropriate arrangements. If you are going to a country with a very different climate than yours, make sure you?ll have the appropriate clothing upon arrival.
  13. http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/content/aug2009/bs2009083_042666.htm?campaign_id=rss_null U.S. Business Schools: Why Foreign MBAs Are Disappearing As visa problems and loan difficulties discourage international MBA applications at U.S. B-schools, classrooms may be less diverse this fall By Alison Damast Over the past five years, admissions officers at business schools across the country watched gleefully as the number of international applicants applying to MBA programs grew exponentially, fueled largely by rapid growth from India and China. This year that trend has collapsed. International applications were down at business schools across the country, challenging admissions officers to meet diversity goals and posing questions for the future. "I'm wondering if we've hit the peak of international applications," says Brenda Knebel, director of admissions at Purdue University's Krannert School of Management (Krannert Full-Time MBA Profile). Krannert's international applications were down 30% this year, although enrollment is still on a par with last year. "I expect the fall to be the same or down, but I don't expect it to go back to the good old glory days." Indeed, the last application cycle presented a mixed bag for admissions officers, who saw a jump in applications from domestic applicants but a sharp decline in international interest. At many schools, applications are down and enrollment has been curtailed, Even at schools where foreign applications are holding steady, successful applicants are facing delays getting visas, and admissions directors are worried that many may not make it to class in the coming weeks. ADMISSIONS OFFICERS WORKING OVERTIME At Indiana University's Kelley School of Business (Kelley Full-Time MBA Profile), University of Connecticut's School of Business (Connecticut Full-Time MBA Profile), and Emory University's Goizueta Business School (Emory Full-Time MBA Profile), international enrollment for the coming school year is down anywhere from 5% to 15% from 2008-2009. At the same time, some schools such as Pennsylvania State University's Smeal College of Business (Penn State Full-Time MBA Profile) and the University of Iowa's Tippie College of Business (Iowa Full-Time MBA Profile) have purposely decided to limit the number of international students they admit, opting to cut back on students with uncertain job prospects rather than take chances on being unable to help everyone find employment. Admissions officers attribute the grim international outlook for the upcoming school year to what many are calling a perfect storm. International students who once vied for seats in U.S. business school classrooms have become alarmed about securing financing, jobs after graduation, and the challenges associated with securing H1-B work visas. To calm the nerves of hesitant students and meet their diversity goals, admissions officers have gone into overdrive this year, conducting phone check-ins with students, offering ramped-up orientation programs, and bending over backwards to ensure that students get merit aid or scholarships. Many anticipate the upcoming application cycle to be no less challenging, if not more so, and are developing plans to make sure international enrollment doesn't dip even lower in 2010. Indeed, U.S. business schools are finding themselves having to work harder than ever to attract and retain international students, says Dave Wilson, president of the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC), an international association of business schools and sponsor of the GMAT, the b-school admissions exam. Students from India and China ordinarily account for a large portion of the international applicant pool, but are increasingly deciding to study at home, where a growing number of high-quality MBA programs have emerged in the past decade, says Wilson. GOOD OVERSEAS SCHOOLS, NO VISA ISSUES This trend has accelerated in recent years and will likely continue, according to GMAC's most recent World Geographic Trends Report. The number of international students sending GMAT scores to U.S. schools fell from 75% in 2000 to 65% in 2008, the survey showed. The number of Asian students?of which nearly half are Indian?sending score reports to the U.S. fell from 77% in 2004 to 71% in 2008. "With so many really good schools coming up around the world, lots of people are saying: 'Hold it, maybe I'll get a much better return by staying in my home country than I might if I went to the U.S.,'" Wilson says. "And there's also the visa situation. It's getting more and more difficult to get into this country and even more difficult to stay once you get here." Obtaining a student visa is turning out to be more of a problem this year on some business school campuses than in the past. Jay Bryant, admissions director at the Thunderbird School of Global Management (Thunderbird Full-Time MBA Profile), says he has noticed that more students this summer are running into visa roadblocks when visiting U.S. embassies in their respective countries. The school, known for its globally diverse student body, has managed to keep international enrollment at a steady level, with non-U.S. students comprising 51% of the incoming class this fall. But Bryant says he worries that the figure could decline if students can't get visas in time for the start of the school year. "They seem to be taking longer to get every year," he says. "They will go for an appointment and be told they need to come back several weeks later, but those several weeks later may already be once classes started." One student facing difficulties is Roberto Carhuayo, a mechanical engineer and business owner from Lima, Peru, who has been planning to attend Thunderbird this August. He was supposed to arrive in Glendale, Ariz., at the end of May for pre-MBA English language courses that would allow him to participate in the school's accelerated MBA program. But Carhuayo was denied his F-1 visa this spring. "The embassy never told me why they denied it," he wrote in an e-mail. The only way he will be able to start at Thunderbird this August is if he receives a qualifying score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exam, thereby letting him obtain the visa. If that doesn't happen, he will likely have to delay his studies for at least six months, he says. PENN STATE'S "INTENTIONAL DECISION" "It is so frustrating for me to delay my MBA until January 2010," he says. "I am aware of some of the discussions of the impact on restrictive visa practices in the U.S. media and, in particular, of their impact on universities. I think that I am the practical example of this." Thunderbird isn't the only school worried that fewer international students will show up on campus this fall. Carrie Marcinkevage, admissions director at Penn State's Smeal, says she has noticed more of a "summer melt" phenomenon affecting international students who intended to enroll this fall. She estimates that the school lost about 10% of its international class for the fall, mostly due to funding or personal reasons. Marcinkevage expects international students to make up 28% of this fall's incoming class, less than the school's more typical 30% to 35% enrollment in recent years. But she says the admissions team made an "intentional decision" to limit the size of the international class this year. "We took a pretty conservative approach to overall class size this year so we can really focus on placement," she says. "The last thing we want to do in an economy like this is admit a lot of people and have a placement risk at the back end, where people leave dissatisfied with their experience." IOWA'S TIPPIE SLASHED FOREIGN MBAS Colleen Downie, admissions director at the University of Iowa's Tippie School, says her school adopted a similar philosophy this year, despite a 15% increase in international applications when most schools were posting declines. "We talked long and hard about whether or not to decrease our international representation," Downie says. Ultimately the admissions team made a "strategic decision" to accept fewer students, primarily so the school could provide them with more hands-on career services support, Downie says Tippie will have around 25% to 30% international enrollment this year, down from 38% last year. At Emory's Goizueta School, Admissions Director Julie Barefoot says there was a 12% decline in international applications this year, with applications from India down about 25%. As a result, international students will make up about 30% of the incoming class, down 10 percentage points from the previous year. International applicants struggled this year to obtain loans to fund their education just as they were questioning their career prospects in the U.S., Barefoot says. The admissions office did its best to accommodate the international students' concerns, even extending the May deadline for deposits, Barefoot says. AT EMORY'S GOIZUETA, 32 NATIONALITIES "There were certain candidates we were concerned about so we sent pretty regular updates to our candidate pool and had conversations with incoming students about the job search process," Barefoot says. "I do think the uncertainty at the time of the application led some people to be more cautious." But even though numbers are down, Barefoot says diversity at the school will remain robust, with 32 countries represented in this fall's incoming class. "That's the good news," she says. To ensure that international applications stay strong for the coming application cycle, some admissions officers are taking a more proactive approach to recruiting students. John Roeder, admissions director at Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management (Vanderbilt Full-Time MBA Profile), says his school plans to do more international outreach this fall than ever before. Owen is unusual in that it had a banner year attracting international students: Roeder expects international enrollment to hit 26% this year, up 6 percentage points over last year. VANDERBILT PRESSES TO MAINTAIN GAINS To maintain its momentum, he is about to launch a new program called Alumni Ambassadors, which he believes will help keep the pipeline for international applications strong. Alumni in countries such as Venezuela, Peru, India, China, Japan, and Korea will be participating in admissions events in their respective countries, hosting receptions for students and recruiting talented prospects. "I think we do need to be more proactive in various markets and this should be a great way for us to maintain a continued presence year-round in those countries," Roeder says. Thunderbird's Jay Bryant says his school is also taking a more aggressive approach this fall. The school added a full-time recruiter in Geneva this year to attract more students from Europe and the Middle East. Thunderbird has also started a special scholarship fund for students from the developing world. Bryant hopes such moves will help his business school counter ebbing international enrollment. "It's going to be a hard year and we are definitely going to have to put a lot more attention on our international applicants this fall," Bryant says. "Students are going to be looking at employment figures and things like that and they are not going to be too shiny for any school this year." Damast is a reporter for BusinessWeek.com.
  14. Moraćemo da krenemo sa vi?e pitanja - koji je nivo studija u pitanju, da li se bavite sportom, da li ?kola daje finansijsku pomoć... Kako ste do?li do cifre od 26 hiljada?
  15. http://www.america.gov/st/educ-english/2009/August/20090806170645CMretroP0.4498211.html&distid=ucs The Basics on U.S. Visas So you've been accepted as a student at a U.S. academic institution, and you are on your way to obtaining a visa and beginning your journey. Important things to understand about the process, and most of the key steps, are described briefly below, along with references to more detailed information resources. Advance planning is very important, so make sure you get started on these preparations months before you want to begin your journey. Workshops on how to complete the visa application process are offered in many countries by the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. For a site convenient to you, check https://educationusa.state.gov/find-advising-center The Steps After your acceptance to a college or university, and before you begin applying for a visa, your new school needs to send you the proper documentation that enrolls you in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). SEVIS is a Web-based information system that keeps track of foreign students and other exchange program participants, and allows information sharing among the various institutions and government agencies that students and exchange visitors are involved with during their journey to the United States and their stay in the country. You must pay a fee to be enrolled in SEVIS, and you will need to retain your proof of payment for presentation during your visa interview at the U.S. embassy. The fee varies according to the type of study or exchange program you are participating in and the type of visa you are applying for. Make an appointment for a visa interview by contacting the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. You'll find that information at http://www.usembassy.gov/. Visa processing procedures can vary, depending on the U.S. Embassy or Consulate, but all student visa and exchange visitor visa applicants are given priority. When you do get an interview, you must assemble all the required documentation. This includes the payment receipt of the SEVIS fee, the visa-qualifying document supplied by your academic institution, financial support documents, the visa application processing fee and a properly completed visa application form. Also review the information provided on the embassy or consulate Web sites In applying for a visa, you need to be aware that the visa alone does not guarantee entry to the United States. With a visa, a foreign citizen is allowed to travel to a U.S. port of entry. Upon arrival there, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection inspector makes the decision about the individual's admission into the country. The process of obtaining a visa might sounds complicated, but remember that 6.6 million people went through the process to receive non-immigrant visas to the United States in 2008 alone. The Realities Misconceptions abound about the difficulty of obtaining a visa. Let's take a look at some of the realities. Myth 1: The United States sets a quota on visas to limit the number of foreign students entering the country. Reality: There is no limit to the number of student visas issued by U.S. embassies and consulates around the world. If you are a qualified student visa applicant who has gained admission to a U.S. institution, the State Department wants you to pursue that opportunity. Myth 2: I can improve my chances of getting a visa if I hire an education agent. Reality: Don't believe anyone who tells you they can help you get a visa. Do not pay money or enter into an agreement with such a person. Self-proclaimed visa "fixers" have no special access to the U.S. government. Myth 3: A visa applicant needs to document a minimum income level. Reality: A student visa applicant should be able to provide financial evidence that shows you, your parents, or your sponsor have sufficient funds to cover your tuition and living expenses during the period of your intended study. Myth 4: Only the academic superstars get visas. Reality: Visas are not reserved for the very best students, but getting a visa depends on first having gained acceptance to a college or university in the United States. When you have been academically admitted to the institution or accepted as a participant in an exchange program, the academic institution will provide you with the appropriate form required by SEVIS. You will be required to submit this form when you apply for a visa. You will need to demonstrate to the consular officer who conducts your interview that you are a serious student who is well-informed about the admitting institution. You also need to show that you have a well-developed plan of study and are knowledgeable about the subject you are studying. Myth 5: During your visa interview, the consular officer will be waiting to hear the "right" answers. Reality: The consular officer will want to hear your own answers and an honest description of your personal circumstances. Myth 6: You'll get a visa only if you are proficient in English. Reality: If you are planning to study English in the United States, you do not need to show proficiency in the language. Command of the English language is one factor that consular officers will use in evaluating the overall competence of a student applying for a visa. Sufficient English proficiency, however, is a pre-requisite for J1 exchange visitor visa applicants. Myth 7: You'll get a visa only if you have relatives in the United States. Reality: This is not true. The interviewing consular officer may ask about relatives in the United States during the visa interview, just as he or she may ask about your family situation in your home country. Myth 8: International students are not permitted to work while visiting the United States on a student visa. Reality: Some job opportunities are possible, especially in on-campus work-study programs with limited hours. Myth 9: You must have your entire future planned out to get a visa. Reality: You need to be able to discuss a realistic study plan, but not a detailed plan for your entire career. Myth 10: You must return to your home country immediately upon completion of your degree. Reality: You may apply for Optional Practical Training to work for up to one year in your field in the United States to gain practical experience. Types of Visas for Students and Exchange Visitors F-1, or Student Visa: The visa for people who want to study at an accredited U.S. college or university, or to study English at a university or language institute. J-1, or Exchange Visitor Visa: The visa issued to people who will be participating in an educational or cultural exchange program.

  20. Link "Important Notice about the July 25 TOEFL? iBT Test Administration On July 25, ETS experienced Internet connectivity issues during its TOEFL iBT test administration. ETS officials are investigating to determine the reason and scope. Affected test takers will be contacted over the next 10 days to reschedule their appointment. Reimbursement will also be provided to persons who could not test for reasonable and documented expenses associated with traveling to the test center. We regret this unfortunate occurrence."
  21. There are many differing opinions on this matter, but one of the best definitions that I like is from the book in our library, How to Get Into the TOP MBA PROGRAMS , a classic tome by Richard Montauk. Montauk uses the LBS model that describes two types of careers. One is the vertical career where a person is moving up by greater expertise within his or her field. The other is the transitional career where a person wishes to change from a specific area of business, say accounting, to a broader area that encompasses more aspects of the business, including overseeing all operations, people management, number crunching and analysis, as well as other elements of the decision making process. One of the first and most striking differences is that many MBA programs require previous working experience, where as an MS in finance or another specific area usually does not require work experience. Some MBA programs offer a dual degree of MBA and MSc, as you will see during your research. Many MBA programs are known for certain areas of managerial expertise such as Accounting, Finance, and other areas. The Haas School of Business even offers a dual MBA and J.D. (Law) program. What is most important, in most cases, is to look at the various programs that schools offer and determine which program is more attuned to helping you meet your career goals, including the professors that you will study with and the contacts that you will make. Another great difference is that many top MBA programs provide loans to international students that do not require a co-signer, whereas many other masters programs do not.

  24. Nova verzija foruma donosi i nove probleme, ali uvek postoje re?enja. Tokom tranzicije na novu verziju softvera doslo je "nestanka" avatara i smajlija, ali radimo na tome da vratimo sve na prethodno stanje. Bez obzira na to, nova verzija softvera omogućava da postavite neku svoju fotografiju kao avatar. Molimo Vas da ne zaboravite na pristojnost kada budete postavljali avatare - ovim forumom krstare i mlađe osobe. Ubacili smo nove smajlije i mo?emo da obećamo da će ih biti jo?. Poruka je i dalje ista - ako imate problema sa funkcionisanjem foruma, po?aljite nam e-mail na forum@iacbg.org ili na office@iacbg.org.
  25. Očigledno je da va?i razlozi za tra?enje vize nisu bili dovoljno ubedljivi konzularnim slu?benicima. Ako se ne promeni trenutna situacija, velika je verovatnoća da će vas i sledeći put odbiti, bez obzira na to kada aplicirate. Kada slu?benici procene da postoji mogućnost da odete i ne vratite se nazad, neće vam pomoći novo apliciranje sa istim dokumentima i istim razlozima. Najbolje bi bilo da pronađete dobre postdiplomske studije i aplicirate za studiranje - tu će biti najmanje problema.
