I'm sorry but I can't help you very much. :-( I studied for the SAT test from Kaplan's guidebook. For the TOEFL I just took a couple of practice tests from some CD that my friend gave me. When I was a child I lived abroad and attended english schools so I really didn't need to practice english that much for the tests. I didn't have any books to help me with my vocabulary so I don't know any to recommend. Best luck in your studying and I hope you do your tests well!

Thank you for your information. Especially for reminding me of the site www.collegeconfidential.com. I visited it a couple of months ago but that was before I got accepted to the universities. I think I'm going to go with Texas. I'll try to stop by your center today. I could also use a few tips with my rejection letters to the other universities. Thank you once again for your help! :-)

Well first of all I have to tell you that even though the GPA is certainly very important it doesn't have to be decisive. My GPA from high school isn't that good. For all 4 years 3.77 (5.0 maximum). But I think that they take into consideration that we have a lot more subjects than high schools in the USA. I also think that good scores on the SAT and TOEFL helped me get accepted. 1990 on the SAT Reasoning. Math-710, CR-620, Writing-660. TOEFL computer based-280 (essay-6). SAT Subject Maths II-670, SAT Subject World History-660. Then the essay you write to the university can also help you if it's good, and so can any extracurricular activities. When I applied to the universities around October I also wasn't sure what to expect and didn't know what my chances were. I was absolutely thrilled when I found out that I was accepted to all of them and I think that I have made a good selection. Wherever I decide to go I'm sure it will be great. The U of Minnesota has offered me a Global Excellence Scholarship. Every international student who gets accepted to their university is considered for this scholarship. They have offered me 12,000 USD. They have also sent me alot of mails since they accepted me. But overall I think that the U of Texas has a better business school. If anyone can really compare these two universities in as many important aspects as possible I would really appreciate it. Any new information can be very helpful. Thank you in advance.

Hi I?ve been accepted to several universities and I have narrowed the decision down to two of them: the University of Texas - Austin and the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. The U of Minnesota has also offered me a scholarship in the amount of 12,000 USD. I already have a sponsor who is willing to cover the full cost of any university I choose to go to. The U of Texas costs 35,000 USD and U of Minnesota costs 38,000 USD (26,000 USD considering the scholarship they have offered me). I applied to the business schools of these universities (McCombs in Texas and Carlson in Minnesota), and I would like to major in Finance. I have to decide as soon as possible. Based on my research I have found out that the U of Texas has a more highly ranked business school than the U of Minnesota. But I am not sure if the difference between these two universities is that big for me to give up the scholarship I have received. I hope you can give me some helpful advice because I'm not sure which one to choose.
