Om studieprogrammene/skolen

  • What are the most popular programs at your university?
  • Do you offer anything within __________________(your interest)?
  • What makes your school special?
  • What do other international students say is the most interesting part of studying at your university?
  • Who are the professors teaching the classes, are there some that work in the profession as well?
  • Are there any scholarship or fellowship opportunities for international students on your campus?
  • I’m concerned about my English level, does your school offer any help with that?

Stipend og søknad

  • Does your school offer any scholarships to international students?
  • When is your application deadline?
  • Do you require SAT/ACT for admission or for scholarships?
  • What is your policy for TOEFL? Do you accept Duolingo?

Internship/jobbmuligheter

  • Are there any internship opportunities through your program?
  • Is there a career centers that can help finding job opportunities after the degree?

Andre norske studenter

  • Have any other Norwegian students been at your school?
  • If yes – do you know what kind of jobs they got afterwards?

Bo i USA

  • Are there dorms available on campus?
  • Can I live off-campus if that is what I want?
  • Is it expensive to live in your state?
  • Will it be necessary to get a car?
  • What can students do outside of the classroom/on the weekends?

Tilslutt, ønsker du å gi et godt inntrykk?

  • Handshake er viktig, pass på at du presenterer deg selv godt, og husk hva de heter.
  • Spør gode spørsmål som du ikke nødvendigvis finner på nettsiden deres.
  • Ha et svar klart når de spør hvorfor du ønsker å ta en utdanning i USA (enten det er erfaring, interesse, internasjonale muligheter osv.)
  • Takk skolerepresentanten for tiden, og er du veldig interessert i skolen kan du be om eposten til representanten og send en kort «takk» epost i etterkant. Da husker de deg godt når du sender inn søknaden din!
