As a consultant I have worked to fast track international student applications for admission. I worked to review thousands of applicants to a competitive scholarship program and processed applications with an attention to detail. I advised the selected students on all stages of the university admission process and secured admissions to programs throughout the country.
I managed admissions and pursued financial aid for international students and scholars coming to pursue graduate level study in the United States. I developed a range of admission options for each student taking into account academic qualifications, school preferences, study objectives, funding needs, language ability, and weighing these against the university requirements, sponsor objectives, and availability of financial aid opportunities. Once admission decisions were made I carried out follow-ups responsibilities including: obtaining and transmitting offers for candidates, identifying any special conditions of admission, identifying and forwarded additional documents to schools, finalizing financial aid offers, preparing budget estimates, requesting payments/deposits and providing academic programs with copies of student’s grant contracts. In addition I ran online field of study discussion groups for Fulbright applicants, prepared study guidelines and admissions information for both internal and external audiences, served as the primary contact for my fields of study and represented IIE at national conferences such as NAFSA.
