I graduated from the Faculty of Law, University of Belgrade.

According to the evaluation report I received yesterday, U.S. Equivalence for my degree is Bachelor of Arts with a major in Serbian Legal Studies.

My total semester hours of undergraduate credit is 126,00.

I also received 15 credits for some graduate level courses done at the Faculty of Political Science,University of Belgrade which is pretty good.

How is it possible that U.S. equivalent is a Bachelor of Arts degree if I was studying law, just law and nothing but law?

I understand that Legal studies system in common law countries is different than in civil law countries (almost all European countries).

Still I know that during my four year studies I never studied any arts but law.

My Diploma is evaluated by ECE.

Thanks

In Serbia. I don't know anything about that.

Is it possible to do that? To transfer and finish my degree like that ?

Do they ( American Colleges) have campuses there, or online, or anything?

Please help me if you can.

I'm currently in US.

I am writing you after a long time. Finally I think I am ready to apply to graduate studies in the USA

Program i have picked is the Graduate Program in Public Administration.

I successfully solved TOEFL and GRE issues with the Office of Graduate Admission.

My recommendation letters are also on their way.

Recently I applied for FAFSA (i am not eligible to receive the Federal Pell Grant because my expected family contribution is 11363) and hope that I will be eligible for some other federal student aid.

NOW I JUST HAVE TO WRITE A GOOD PROFESSIONAL STATEMENT in order to complete my application.

Since I didnt attend any of your preparation courses (last 18 months I live in the USA) I am not sure how.

Can you please help me?

Thank you.

Best,

Nikola

Thank you for answering my question.

I wish to attend college this fall and I am aware that I am extremely late so when I started my college search I looked only at the colleges that have rolling admission. It happens that my first choice has rolling admission so I must say I am quite happy about that. However I am also aware of the school costs which scare me (comparing US tuitions to ours is scary to everyone I imagine ) so I am in search of a scholarship or some form of financial aid. For the time being I 've aplied to only one college (DePaul) but I am in contact with two other universities I consider applying.

As I already mentioned being really late in my college preparation I must also mention I am not well informed about the whole financial aid process so I am interested in knowing more about it. I would also like to know do I get benefits from being a US citizen or not?

Whats the procedure,how long it takes, etc?

thanks
