Dubai - Canadian university of Dubai ?
If the courses they furnish are of activity to you,then TOEFL is properly well worth the difficulty.some faculties even elect to work out SAT rankings.scholars shop taking SAT and TOEFL assessments 2 years till now ending intense college and use the superb effects to coach to universities. a huge style of close by Emirati scholars attend,would desire to be no longer person-friendly working lot-so the time-honored atmosphere would be centred on training!
Anyone here go to Santa Clara University in Cali. or any other California University?
I don't go to SCU, a CSU, or a UC... I just graduated high school this year, though, and a lot of my friends are going to California schools (I'm going to Brown). Keep in mind, though, that all of this advice is just what is typical. Sometimes there are exceptions to the numbers that people often throw out. UCLA, UC Berkeley, Stanford, and the Claremont Colleges are the most prestigious schools in California. For UCLA and Berkeley, you would need at least a 2000 on the SAT. For Stanford and the others, I would say its possible to get in with a 2100, but the higher it is, the more likely you would get in. For all of these schools you would probably need a 3.8 gpa. For Santa Clara University you'd probably need about a 1900 and a 3.5 gpa. Other good schools are UC San Diego, UC Davis, Cal Poly - San Luis Obispo, Pepperdine, and USC. California is extremely varied in its feel depending on where you go, but I would say that California is very relaxed in general. And it has excellent weather. Southern California is great if you want more of that beach vibe. It's considered a bit flashier (but only because its known for LA). Northern California is also really nice and relaxed, and any school around the San Francisco Bay Area is close to a beach. The beaches aren't as warm, but they're still very popular and nice. Northern California is also nearer to places where you can drive up to the snow to ski or snowboard, and it's also closer to more outdoorsy activities such as camping and hiking. If you decide to come to California, you'll definitely like it. There's no doubt about that. The UC system is excellent, too. They're great schools, and they're not nearly as expensive as private schools (although if you're out of state you'd have to pay more).
Is getting into American University in Dubai hard?
Hi, I'm an international student who's applying to colleges and universities this year for 2011 fall classes. Anyways, I'm intrigued about the universities in middle east such as American University of Sharjah(AUS), American University of Beirut(AUB), American University in Dubai (AUD) and again, Architecture programs in AUB and AUD looks kinda fascinating to me I've got an SAT score of 2060, and few APs and SATII...etc I wanna know my chances in these schools esp in AUD. Anyone got any knowledge concerning to these universities? would appreciate much xx :)
Is American university in dubai better or American university in Sharjah better?
American University is Sharjah is definitely the best one out in the UAE and probably ranks along side with those famous universities located in Egypt, Lebanon and the rest of the middle east. You are correct in your assumptions about the 2 universities. AUS is based on the vision of the Sharjah Ruler who is an educator and great lover of arabic cultures, literatures and books for which the school enjoys a huge support from the ruler himself, H.H. Sheikh Dr. S. Al Qassimi! Size wise, are wise, curriculum wise, courses wise - AUS is bigger than AUD. Another thing to consider is the physical location of the university. AUS is located in a serene and nature enclaved location stretching the greenery of Sharjah towards the Emirate of Fujairah far away from the buzzing horns from highways and metropolis. AUD is right in the middle of Dubai's City expansion like the Marina, Jumeirah, Media City, Knowledge Village, etc... and most of all ... just adjacent to the traffic-nightmare-Shk. Zayed Road !!! i hope you will have the right choice !
Why does the American University of Sharjah say that it's very selective, but they admitted my classmate who?
It's a fact that rich locals from Sharjah wants their kids getting educated in AUS. Also HH Sheikh Dr.Sultan, Ruler of Sharjah, says education is their future. The more he is a board member of AUS.
Thanks for the A2A!They're not necessary, but definitely good to have. You will have to take this test called QET (Qualifying English Test, or something similar) when you get here, to waive basic English modules. So if you get above a certain score (for example in SATs, at least 750 in both Critical Reading AND Writing, and I think at least a 11/12 on your Essay component) you won't have to take the QET at all. Plus, when you're applying it looks good that you've been broadening your horizons and all that. Can also compensate for a lacklustre CBSE English mark.Way back in 2011, getting around 95% (overall, including English) was the minimum to be considered for admissions (I got my first choice - Computer Engineering). Standards have increased since then for Indian citizens - probably to a 97 to 98% minimum? An 'Anonymous' who answered previously mentioned that CEG is quite competitive to get into - this is true, but probably not as competitive as pure Computer Science (make sure you research the differences well before ranking choices, lots of people I know have switched from CEG to CS). Either way, a good idea that he/she (Anon.) mentioned, was to first apply to a less competitive stream of Engineering and then switch after one semester, or maybe even two. You need to really plan out your schedule well though, if you decide to do this.
They may not be necessary.There are no US universal university admission policies. Each college, major and university may make up its own requirements.There are many “test optional” colleges. There are many that admit anyone who applies (“open admission”.)There are some that request ACT or SAT, not both, though if you take both you may send both scores if they are good.Some schools require SAT subject tests (“SAT II” tests), but they will often waive those requirements if finances are a problem, as SAT IIs don’t offer fee waivers.Some schools require you to take Accuplacer or Compass tests in order to matriculate; you take those on campus and they are usually found at community colleges (leading to the associate’s degree.)Sometimes, admissions requirements are different for state residents, out of state residents, and internationals.This information is easily and readily available on each school’s website and college catalogues.My children are applying to universities, so I am very familiar with the wide variety of school requirements.Bottom line: if you want to attend school in the US, SOMEONE will take you. Guaranteed. Even if you haven’t finished high school. Even if you can’t read! If you have a disability like blindness or dyslexia, someone will read to you and take notes for you in class.It's not hard. It requires persistence and some money, but college (with few exceptions) is not academically difficult, and admissions is less so.
i can aid you with the prefect institute known as TestprepKart. They are one of the leading prep institutes in the Middle Eastern countries and South East Asian countries.They look after SAT General, SAT Physics, SAT Chemistry & SAT Math.If you’re after the best SAT courses, go check the best SAT courses online.All the best!

What major should I choose to get in to American University of Beirut?
I don't know if Architecture in AUB is Architectural Design or engineering. Architectural engineering is basically math-dependent whilst design is more logic-dependent and not math-based. I want to recommend you go into architecture because it opens up many fields of work for you that is not just limited to construction, and the design field. It's also the hardest major to stay in. You have to compete on a yearly basis to keep your seat. But the end result is well worth it because it provides you with enough versatility that allows you to sail through tough economic times easier than a doctor or an engineer. Architecture opens up design, some engineering (along with some studies in it but nonetheless) product design, carpentry, arts, theatre (a lot of architecture is about setting a 'story') and so on. Through my studies I've leant plenty about different cultures when designing for a culture, learnt a lot of geology, geography, history, solar tracking, how to control shadows, soil topology, topography and so own. It's set you up to master a specific trade whilst at the same time allowing you to become a jack of all trades. Of course architecture is a LOT of work, expect to spend your whole day working (I'm not exagerrating). But it's well worth it.
