http://www.cipe.org/essay/index.php Young writers, aged 18 to 30, from across the world are invited to submit essays on how to create opportunities for youth to strengthen democracy and the private sector in their own countries. Deadline to apply: June 18. The competition is seeking essays in three categories: 1) Democracy that delivers, 2) enterpreneurship and society and 3) women and participation. Essays should be between 2,000 and 3,000 words. In each category, first, second, and third place authors will receive a US$1,000 honorarium, and will have their essays published by the competition organizer, the Center for International Private Enterprise. Essay Guidelines Length and language 2,000-3,000 words. All essays must be in English. Categories Please limit each essay to one category. Individuals may submit up to one essay for each category. The following are the topics, along with brief descriptions and suggested questions. Feel free to answer these and/or any of your own about each topic that you'd like to address. Democracy that delivers. Recent surveys show that people in all corners of the world generally prefer democracy to any other political system, yet they are frequently dissatisfied with how democracy works in their own country. One of the major reasons is the fact that people don't realize the promised benefits of democracies, which are often plagued by corruption, exclusion, cronyism, and other social and economic ills. Successful essays in this category will examine citizen expectations of democracies, and how democracies can go about meeting those expectations. Optional questions to consider: Are you satisfied with how democracy works in your country? What is a democratic government's responsibility to its people? Is it purely a question of rights or is there something more to it? What do people expect democracy to deliver in your country? How can democracy lead to higher living standards and what are the linkages between democratic and economic freedom on your country? Entrepreneurship and society. The concept of social entrepreneurship is gaining visibility around the world, as individuals continue to explore ways in which private enterprise can address social problems in their countries. This visibility is bringing to the forefront the question of social benefits attained from all entrepreneurs, not just those included in the social entrepreneurship category. Successful essays in this category will examine the role of entrepreneurship in creating prosperous societies and addressing key developmental challenges and how that role can be best realized. Optional questions to consider: What role should entrepreneurs play in society? Is their role purely profit-seeking or do they contribute in other ways? What prevents entrepreneurs from contributing more to society? What can be done to address such obstacles? Women and participation. Despite some recent progress, women remain excluded from political and economic participation around the world. Oftentimes, it is the combination of cultural and legal and regulatory barriers that prevents women from equal participation on both economic and political arenas. Successful essays in this category will examine barriers to women's participation in society and develop linkages between political, social, and economic empowerment. Optional questions to consider: What does empowerment mean for women? How can economic empowerment for women lead to their political empowerment? How can women better organize to voice their needs and help level the playing field for women in business? How can women's participation strengthen economic policy for them and for all people? Are there examples of associations or other local organizations of women in your country that are working to put women's business issues on the political agenda? Judging Criteria Essays will be evaluated by a panel of judges comprising CIPE staff and CIPE's international partners. Since English may not be a participant's first language, spelling and grammar mistakes will not affect judging as long as ideas and thoughts are clearly laid out. Judges will take into consideration the following criteria: Content and guidelines: How well does the essay address the topic? Does the author include real life examples of problems? Essay Structure: Is the essay organized in a logical manner? Clarity and logic of ideas: Is there a well-defined problem and relevant context? Are arguments clear? Do the arguments and examples support the author's main idea? Creativity and orginality: Does the essay contain new, innovative, well-developed ideas? Impact of solutions: How do the proposed solutions address the problem identified? Youth's role: Does the essay outline a specific challenge or role for youth as part of the solution? Please be sure to properly cite resources and ideas you find and use. Plagiarism will result in disqualification. Winning essays For each category, first, second, and third place authors will receive a $1,000 honorarium, and CIPE will publish winning essays. Honorable mentions may also be published at the discretion of the judging panel.

Na savetovanju se uvek navodi neophodnost rane i dobre pripreme za apliciranje - one koja mo?e da vam u?tedi novac i dovede vas na korak od solidne institucije za dalje obrazovanje. Priprema za apliciranje, koja uključuje izbor institucije, istra?ivanje mogućnosti finansijske pomoći, pripremu dokumenata i ispita - nije isto ?to i samo apliciranje. Od ranog apliciranja bez ostatka dokumentacije vi praktično nemate ni?ta. Dakle, potrebno je da pre apliciranja procenite da imate sve ?to je potrebno i onda mo?ete da se prijavite tri meseca ili tri dana ranije, svejedno je. "Last minute" koji je pomenut odnosi se na situaciju kada neki od dokumenata mo?da i ne stigne ili ako ne?to niste poslali u obimu ili obliku koji je od vas zahtevan - uvek mora da postoji malo vremena za ispravku. Preporučujemo da se aplicira barem mesec dana pre isteka roka, ali vi mo?ete da po?aljete dokumenta i ostalu papirologiju i vi?e meseci unapred. U nekim slučajevima se savetuje da na zvaničnim sajtovima katedri pogledate da li su određeni konkursi otvoreni, pa tek onda aplicirate.

Dilema ove vrste mora da se re?i na izvoru. Pregledom zahteva na institucijama koje nude postdiplomske programe mo?ete videti sve ?to je potrebno za upis, ?to uključuje i neophodne ispite. Ako već imate neke institucije na umu, pogledajte na sajtovima ili ih kontaktirajte. Ako se jo? niste odlučili, pregledajte www.phds.org ili www.petersons.com, pretra?ite baze i nađite ?kole koje nude programe u va?oj oblasti. Va?e zaključivanje je bez gre?ke, ali opet postoji diskreciono pravo samih institucija da odrede koji će ispiti biti potrebni za upis. Nemojte napamet da se spremate, već proverite kompletnu sliku u va?oj oblasti. Ne zaboravite i da mo?ete da svratite na na?a besplatna savetovanja za postdiplomske studije da postavite pitanja i čujete kako izgleda proces daljeg obrazovanja.

Ipak je malo drugačije na većini institucija - prvo se prijavite, pa tek onda aplicirate za finansijsku pomoć. Negde se to radi istovremeno, ali obično je potrebno da prvo podnesete generalnu prijavu, pa tek onda da tra?ite novac. Po?tovanje rokova zavisi od samih institucija. Obično su institucije stroge kada je to u pitanju, ali moguće je da mogu da vam izađu u susret produ?enjem. Dokumenta i potvrde mogu da budu zatra?ene od vas i to zavisi od vrste pomoći koju tra?ite. Nekada to mogu da budu potvrde o u?teđevini, primanjima ili slično. Na sajtovima univerziteta će ta dokumentacija uglavnom biti navedena, tako da ne bi trebalo da lutate. Javite nam samo gde ste tačno videli obrnuti redosled apliciranja (finansije pa prijava) da istra?imo o čemu se radi.

http://moritzlaw.osu...s/llm/index.php The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law Master of Laws (LL.M.) Program is designed for foreign lawyers who wish to advance their legal education in a stimulating academic environment. The College offers the dual advantages of a highly-regarded law curriculum at a major U.S. university and an LL.M. program of limited size that allows for individualized attention and support. Two of the program's primary goals are to immerse foreign lawyers in a year of U.S. legal education and to foster interaction between American J.D. students and the LL.M. students. In large part this is accomplished by integrating the LL.M students into the J.D. curriculum, ensuring that both groups will benefit from the interaction and graduate from their respective programs well prepared to participate in an increasingly globalized world. Moritz also offers a rich selection of student activities outside the classroom where LL.M. students may participate in the life of the College. Ohio State's LL.M. program offers students an opportunity to select their courses from a rich and diverse curriculum. Students may choose a generalized study of U.S. law or may tailor their courses to fit specialized interests and career objectives. Students have an option to elect a concentration in Business Law, Criminal Law and Procedure, Intellectual Property and Information Law, International and Comparative Law, Labor and Employment Law, or Alternative Dispute Resolution, or they may design a customized concentration. What We Are Looking For The Moritz College of Law seeks LL.M. students who are motivated to obtain a rigorous, high quality U.S. legal education. But we are looking for more than simply academic excellence. The LL.M. Admissions Committee is seeking individuals from a wide range of countries, with diverse legal backgrounds; we encourage the new law graduate to apply right along with the experienced law professor or practitioner. We strongly believe that diversity and differences in personality are critical to the dynamic and stimulating exchanges that are characteristic of the Moritz community. The LL.M. class is purposely limited to 25 students. This is a large enough class to create a diverse group from a variety of countries yet small enough to allow our staff to provide individual attention to our LL.M. students. Since we are carefully looking for the right mix of individuals to accomplish the above goals, it is important that you present your strengths; profile your practical experiences, accomplishments and academic excellence; and give us insight into your goals for the future. We will carefully examine all the elements of your application package in an attempt to get to know you better. LL.M. Application Process We recommend that you start your application to the Moritz LL.M. program early. Part of the application process necessitates that you work with third parties, whether they be your recommenders, or institutions that will need to provide documents or scores to complete your application. Moreover, it may often take up to three months to obtain a U.S. student visa, if needed, once you have been officially accepted to the program. While our application is to be completed online, other materials must be submitted by mail, some to more than one office. Please read instructions for each section carefully. Application Fee Application Deadline Academic Record Test Scores (TOEFL or IELTS) Three Letters of Recommendation Resume Personal Statement Decision What Happens Next You must submit all of the above application materials before you will be considered for admission to the Moritz LL.M. Program. If you have any questions about the application process, please contact the Moritz LL.M. Office at (614) 688-5328 or moritzllm@osu.edu. Application Fee There is a $50 application fee for international students and a fee of $40 for U.S. permanent residents; both are nonrefundable. You must pay this application fee by credit or debit card in U.S. dollars at the time of online application submission. Application The Moritz LL.M. Program uses an online application process. You may pay the required application fee using a credit or debit card, and submit your application, resume and personal statement via the electronic application process. If you cannot use the electronic application process, a paper application is available on request from the Moritz LL.M. Office. Please use your correct legal name at the time you apply to the university. If your name or address changes prior to enrollment in the university, please contact the Moritz LL.M. Office at (614) 688-5328 or moritzllm@osu.edu after the change occurs. Deadline Applications will be considered as they are received so prospective students will increase their chances of admission by applying early. The final deadline for applications is April 15, and prospective students who apply after this date will be considered only if the class has not been filled or if vacancies occur. Academic Record At the time of application, official transcripts (and English translations) from all previously attended academic institutions should be sent directly from the awarding institution to both: Professional Admissions Office The Ohio State University P.O. Box 182003 Columbus, OH 43218-2003 -and- Moritz College of Law LL.M. Office 55 W. 12th Ave. Columbus, OH 43210-1391 Upon completion of any subsequent courses, you must send an updated official transcript to both the Professional Admissions Office and the Moritz LL.M. Office. Applicants who have attended Ohio State are not required to furnish OSU transcripts, but they must provide transcripts for any courses taken elsewhere. PLEASE NOTE THAT MORE TIME IS USUALLY REQUIRED TO RECEIVE FOREIGN TRANSCRIPTS. Test Scores: TOEFL or IELTS Because the Moritz LL.M. program requires large amounts of analytical reading and writing, as well as being able to participate in very interactive classes, we require that you have sufficient knowledge of the English language to succeed in your program of study. Candidates whose native language is not English are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) in lieu of TOEFL. Applicants who are citizens of or who have received a bachelor's degree or higher in one of the following countries are exempt from the TOEFL requirement: Australia, Belize, the British Caribbean and British West Indies, Canada (except Quebec), Guyana, Ireland, Liberia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States. Minimum Acceptable Scores TOEFL: 600 paper based; 250 computer based; 100 ibT IELTS: 7.5 You must have taken the test within the past two years. Please arrange to have your TOEFL scores sent directly from the Educational Testing Service (ETS) to The Ohio State University. The ETS institution code for sending scores to Ohio State is 1592. Information and registration materials for the tests can be obtained by contacting TOEFL or IELTS. Letters of Recommendation The LL.M. Admissions Committee is especially interested in two aspects of your letters of recommendation: whom you chose to recommend you and what those people tell us about you. We hope to discover concrete examples and descriptions that will enable us to further understand your personality, as well as your potential to succeed after obtaining your LL.M. degree. You are required to submit three letters of recommendation in support of your application for admission. At least one person recommending you needs to be a professor familiar with your legal coursework. Visit the link to the online application system to download the Recommendation Form, which must be completed by the recommender along with a separate recommendation letter printed on official academic or business letterhead stationery. Letters must be sent by the recommender, or by the applicant in their original, sealed envelopes, to Moritz LL.M. Program, 55 West 12th Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210-1391, U.S.A. Please keep in mind it is your responsibility to ensure that your recommenders have submitted their recommendations by April 15. References will not be accepted if the envelopes have been opened, are unsigned, are not on letterhead, or do not include a contact number for verification. Resume All applicants must submit a resume that contains the following: all post-secondary educational information; all relevant past and present work experience; volunteer, service and/or extracurricular activities with which you have been involved in the past three years; and a list of any honors and/or awards you have received. You may submit it as an attachment to the online application, or mail it to the Moritz LL.M. Program, 55 West 12th Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210-1391, U.S.A. Remember... this is an opportunity to give us additional insight into what you will contribute to both the LL.M. class and the Moritz community. Personal Statement Your personal statement is especially valuable to the LL.M. Admissions Committee. You may submit it as an attachment to the online application, or mail it to the Moritz LL.M. Program, 55 West 12th Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210-1391, U.S.A. Your personal statement should provide a thoughtful reflection on your reasons for seeking an LL.M. in the United States and on your longer-term career and personal goals. Please address the following questions in your personal statement: What have been your most significant achievements in your legal education and/or professional legal career? What are your reasons for seeking to earn an LL.M. degree in the United States, and how will an LL.M. degree further your professional and/or personal goals? Is there anything else, not already presented in your application, that you would like the Admissions Committee to know about you in reviewing your application for admission to the Moritz LL.M. Program? Decision Once you have submitted all of the documents required for admission, the LL.M. Admissions Committee will make a decision within four to six weeks. What Happens After You Submit Your Complete Application Sections A and B apply only to international applicants. Domestic students should reference sections C and D only. A. Provisional Admission Once an applicant has properly submitted all of the documents required for admission, a provisional admittance decision will be made. If it is favorable, a letter of provisional admittance will be issued via email to the prospective student. Attached to this document will be a Proof of Availability of Funds form. This form must be completed and submitted with appropriate documentation to The Ohio State University Professional Admissions Office. Provisional admission decisions (pending submission of proof of availability of funds) typically are rendered by the LL.M. Admissions Committee within four to six weeks after the application file is complete with all supporting documentation. You may contact the LL.M. Office by phone or email as listed above. The office is staffed Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, EST. B. Official Notice of Admission Once a student's financial status has been ascertained, the Professional Admissions Office sends an Official Notice of Admission, along with an I-20 or DS-2019 if applicable, to the student. The Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services requires that international students requesting an I-20 for an F-1 visa or a DS-2019 for a J-1 visa provide an address outside the United States. The student will use the I-20 or DS-2019 to obtain a visa. C. Acceptance Statement and Fees Accompanying the Official Notice of Admission is an Acceptance Statement notifying the newly admitted student that he or she must pay a nonrefundable $25 acceptance fee and a nonrefundable $200 tuition deposit. The tuition deposit will be credited to the LL.M. student's tuition charges for the fall semester. D. Final Transcript New law school graduates must submit a final transcript to the Professional Admissions Office at the address noted above.

http://www.i-park.or...rdenDesign.html I-Park is pleased to announce the Landscape/Garden Design residency program for 2010. Professional and academic landscape architects, landscape and garden designers, site planners and graduate level students preparing to enter these fields ? along with artists working in the land and/or with plant materials ? are invited to apply for the residency. Participants will share the I-Park facility with writers, composers and visual, including new media and environmental, artists. The standard residency session is 4-weeks, but a limited number of 2- and 8-week sessions are also available (see the 2010 Calendar for specific session dates). There is an application fee of $25.00. For a general overview of the residency program, click here. For particulars, refer to the FAQ. While the I-Park residency program has always welcomed practitioners from the fields of landscape and garden design, this year, customized application guidelines and a separate selection panel were established to give the area the special attention it warrants. Because the residency model in these fields is not well established in the U.S., as it is for the fine arts, we will suggest some types of projects and subjects for which this opportunity could be well suited: ? 'unsolicited' proposals for public or other spaces (as with unsolicited architecture) ? ecologically inspired landscape/garden design ? design exploration through model-making, drawing and in-situ installations ? materials and methods studies, including landscape products design ? explorations into the role of aesthetics in landscape sustainability ? conceptual studies, including 'blue sky' projects for no site in particularYou are free to utilize the residency period to work on a professional commission. Or, you may be interested in pursuing/proposing a site-responsive project for I-Park itself. The intention is to take the broadest possible approach to the field of landscape/garden design, particularly as it relates to the aesthetic engagement of the altered environment. Note that, especially for those who have never participated in a program of this kind, while the application process calls for a thoughtful project proposal, you should be open to the unexpected re-directions that can result from your personal response to the land, the interaction with your fellow residents and the transformative dynamics of the unrestricted, though supportive, format of the I-Park residency program. Within common sense guidelines, participants will be permitted to utilize the rich, expansive I-Park tract as a laboratory for site investigations. In addition to a private studio, you will have access to tools and workshop space. A materials and equipment budget and physical assistance may be available for certain types of projects. The participation in a residency session also opens the window on related I-Park initiatives, in particular, the upcoming Thanatopolis Symposium & Exhibition, which has an important landscape/garden component; the Gardens at I-Park and International Garden Design Competition projects (both in development) and 2011's Environmental Art Biennale, an inter-disciplinary project that brings site-specific art into the landscape.

http://www.thelanter...ility-1.1220804 GRE to change in autumn 2011, feature new content, flexibility By Danielle Hartman hartman.271@osu.edu |Published: Wednesday, March 3, 2010 Updated: Wednesday, March 3, 2010 The 60-year-old Graduate Record Examination is about to get a face-lift. The GRE, which is taken by students seeking admission to graduate school, will change in fall 2011. Educational Testing Service, the nonprofit institution that produces the test, said the revisions will make the test more aligned to the skills needed in graduate school. The GRE will receive adjustments in both content and design. The best change to the test, however, is the ability to flip through a section to revise answers, said Andrew Mitchell, the director of graduate programs at Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions. The current GRE does not allow test takers this freedom. Other big changes include the elimination of antonyms and analogies on the verbal section, the addition of an online calculator on the quantitative section and a different scoring scale. Writing is the only section that will remain the same. These changes might lead some to believe that the test will be easier, but Mitchell said this is not the case. He said the addition of an online calculator will allow straightforward math problems to be replaced with more complex ones. "It's hard to imagine that the kind of math and level of difficulty currently on the exam will stay the same if students will be able to use an online calculator to help them," Mitchell said. "Many GRE test takers are stronger in the verbal section, so potentially having more challenging math questions may not be welcome news." Changes to the GRE's scoring system will make the 200 to 800 point scale a 130 to 170 point scale. "[The new scoring system] will be more useful in the long run because [the numbers] are more compressed," said Elliot Slotnick, the associate dean of the graduate school at Ohio State. "It will give us a better understanding of what the scores mean." Mitchell referred to the GRE's revision as "a trade off." Although modifications will make the GRE more up-to-date, the new version will come with a couple of drawbacks. Harder math problems are an example, but the test will also take longer to complete, he said "Many speculate revisions are being made to the GRE so it can better compete with the Graduate Management Admission Test. The GMAT, which is produced by Pearson, is required for many graduate programs, including OSU. Increasingly more MBA programs accept the GRE, but according to a 2009 Kaplan survey of business school admission officers, almost all GMAT-only MBA programs have no plan to accept the GRE in the future. "The reality is that ETS is also a business and in recent years has been working hard ? with some success ? to position itself as a competitor to the GMAT," Mitchell said. "I think the logical conclusion is that they are competing for that one spot," Slotnick said. MItchell said it will be interesting to see if the revisions to the GRE "will increase the number of MBA programs that accept it." Laura Smith, a fourth-year in film studies at OSU, took the GRE earlier this year. "While it might have been great to use a calculator or not have an analogy or antonym section, I still had to take the test now," Smith said. "However, I hope it helps students in the future. The revisions might make the test easier." Smith also said that the ability to change answers could be negative or positive. She said that freedom is an advantage, but students might dwell on the idea that they should change a previous answer." This would mean spending too much time revising, she said. Slotnick said the GRE score weighs differently on an applicant's admissions depending on their grade point average in undergraduate school. To prepare for the upcoming GRE revisions, Slotnick said he and his staff are attending workshops. "They are doing a good job of keeping us informed," he said." Students taking the new GRE in 2011 can receive more information on the changes and sign-up for test updates at ETS.org.
