Hi
My name is Ali Rachidi. I’m actually preparing my applications to UCLA and Berkeley for an Engineering Major.
Concerning the procedure, as i am an international applicant, i’m wondering what should i put in the Academic History section (Introduction, 7th 8th grade, High school courses, etc). Moreover, i am wondering if i can send my Toefl scores after the 30th November, and if i can send my January SAT Subjects Scores. In addition, i would like to know if there is any update letter you should send to berkeley after the deadlines in order to keep up with the admission service. Finally, No scholarships are destined to international applicants right?
Thank you very much in advance for your answers !
Cordially
Ali
UC Berkeley and the rest of the UC’s will accept up to the December sitting for the SAT’s, so January scores will not be considered.
January is the cutoff for the TOEFL scores.
Before a U.S. consul will grant a visa, you must prove that you will have sufficient money to meet all your expenses while studying in the United States. You must explain the source of your funds and guarantee that you will receive them while at UC Berkeley.
Unless you are able to provide written evidence demonstrating you have adequate financial resources for the entire time needed to complete your degree program, the consul will not grant a student visa
If UCB/UCLA needs any more information/documents, you will be notified by email. Only the send the required items.
Regarding scholarships, I would check the UCB/UCLA websites, but I am not aware of any scholarships available for International applicants specifically.
