Since there is no guarantee of my loan application being approved, I was meaning to apply for my student visa only after securing a loan source. I was considering applying for the Sallie Mae Smart Option Student Loan plan, but the application itself there, however, requires me to submit a copy of my student visa or CIS form. Now, there's no point of getting a student visa if I'm not even sure if I'm going to get the loan, and for another I have no idea what a CIS form is.<br /> What do I do, help please?! &lt;img src=&quot;http://forum.collegetimes.us/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_sad.gif&quot; title=&quot;:(&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> <p>(For those of you who have read my previous thread, this is kind of a subset of that)</p> <p>Thanks, once again.</p> <p><a href="mailto:niyonta.nch@gmail.com">niyonta.nch@gmail.com</a> </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/college-admissions-help#post-1404 Tue, 06 Apr 2010 09:08:24 +0000 cz 1404@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>you might want to checkout topquest.net. there's a live chat 4/6/10, 7-9pm cst - checklist for college preparation. to login visit: <a href="http://bit.ly/9oxSRF" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/9oxSRF</a> </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/college-admissions-help#post-1315 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 04:09:10 +0000 jindi 1315@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>There are some free websites with very helpful information for students applying to college.

These are backed by block diagrams, photographs, video clips, animations and real time simulations to facilitate easy explanations and effective comprehension. To make students more receptive to the subject, Virtual Reality linkages have been provided in training modules. </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/college-admissions-help#post-1301 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 22:23:30 +0000 geee123 1301@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>my opinion is<br /> • [b]Help finding schools:[/b] Perhaps you have no idea where you want to go to college and only have a vague notion as to where it is you would like to go. Your college admissions consultant can give you many ideas as to which schools would be a good fit for you and you can then go from there.</p> <p>• [b]Help with applications:[/b] College admissions consultants know exactly what schools do and do not want to see on applications. They will be able to review your application before it is sent off to the college you are applying to and be able to tell you if there is anything that needs to be added or taken away. Beyond that they will also let you know what, if any, accompanying paperwork must be sent off with the application. Imagine how terrible it would be to get excluded from the college of your choice simply because you neglected to send in a form that you didn't even know about.</p> <p>• [b]Help with student loans:[/b] It may be necessary for you to obtain student loans in order to attend the college of your choice. Do you have any idea where to begin your search? Your admissions consultant will know exactly where to look and can even help you determine what type of aid you will be able to qualify for. In some instances they can even give you some ideas of specific scholarships that you may qualify for that you may not have otherwise found out about. While it is true that it costs money to hire a college admissions consultant, if they can provide you with ideas for scholarships that you never have to pay back it is sort of like they will be paying for themselves </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/online-college-admission-application-form#post-1300 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 03:44:39 +0000 jindi 1300@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>There are some free websites with very helpful information for students applying to college.

I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.</p> <p>I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.</p> <p>Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets. I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.</p> <p>I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.</p> <p>I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.</p> <p>I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four-course meals using only a Mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.</p> <p>But I have not yet gone to college.</p> <p>[i]From Harper's: "This essay, by Hugh Gallagher, won first prize in the humor category of the 1990 Scholastic Writing Awards. It appeared in the May issue of Literary_Calvalcade, a magazine of contemporary fiction and student writing published by Scholastic in NYC. Gallagher, who is 18, grew up in Newtown Square, PA, and will attend NYU this fall."[/i] </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/college-admissions-help#post-1113 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:55:17 +0000 stewart.emilee 1113@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>I&#39;m starting the whole college admissions process and I want to limit my list so I don&#39;t have to spend a fortune on application fees.
