International Student Blog

<p>Hi everyone!! My name is Naledi and I'm from South Africa.
So,Im in grade 12 now,reaching the end of my school career. I have wanted to study in the States almost my whole life. Ive been really excited about it and journaling everything that has been happening pertaining it. It's almost application season(YAY, I guess...) and from there things are just gonna roll. Getting to the point of this post: The reason I have been trying to journal everything is because I know how difficult it has been for me to find information particular to students of my country and so I wanted to create a source which is as detailed as possible about everything (from researching,to SAT's, to essays to the feeling of maybe getting rejected and accepted then actually arriving in 2015). The internet has been a really awesome place throughout this journey ESPECIALLY CC ;) ;). But I was thinking that it would be really cool to start an official blog with the journeys of different people from different corners of the world. It would be really helpful for prospective students and also nice to look back upon when we're all grown and successful. So yeah, if anyone is interested please let me know. This blog hasn't really materialised yet, it will be a brand new project so all types of people are welcome if your a prospective undergrads! Just DM me and we can then communicate via email.
I hope to get many responses from people who are just as enthusiastic.
Bye :):)</p>

<p>Bump!</p>

<p>Can you explain further more what we would do with the “blog” ? Are we going to form a group or something?</p>

<p>I’m interested in this! Let me know what specific ideas you have for the “blog”.</p>

<p>@NalediMas‌ I agree with the post above. Can you explain more about the “blog”? Because if it is a group helping each other out with the admissions process, then i’m really interested in this! </p>

<p>Me too! @NalediMas</p>

<p>Well, I was thinking that it be a “road to studying…” journal type of thing? We will create a group external from the blog to discuss what exactly we want to put on etc. It’s a really new idea, hence I haven’t thought everything through yet. I was hoping that it can be collaborative effort. To answer @Phongtheha, yes we would be assisting each other with the admissions process while documenting it for future/other applicants to see…:)</p>
