Questions about Admissions
Q. Is there a deadline for
applying?
A: No. Applications
will be accepted and processed at all times of the year and
the College will make special efforts to notify the
applicants quickly of the status of their applications.
Q: I can not get my bank
statement until I have an acceptance letter. Can I
send my application packet in now (without a financial
document) and send the bank statement in after I receive
acceptance?
A: If you need the
acceptance letter before you can get the financial
documents, then please write a note to the school stating
this fact and include it with your application packet.
This way the School can go ahead and process your
application without the financial information. As soon
as you do receive your financial documentation you will need
to send it to the school because they cannot issue your I-20
without having the required financial documents.
Q: Does the bank statement
have to be in a sponsors name or is it ok if it is in my
name?
A: The bank
statement can be either one from your bank account, or that
of a "sponsor", or a combination of the two. If
you use a sponsor's bank statement you will also need to
have the sponsor write a letter to the School stating, "I am
the sponsor for _______ and I intend to provide him/her with
financial assistance during his/her first year at the School
up to the amount of $_____,
Q: What should I do if
my bank statement does not reflect US dollars?
A:
If you can not obtain a bank statement reflecting the
equivalent value of your money in U.S. dollars, you may get
the conversion from the internet. Just print the page
showing the conversion and include it with your bank
statement.

Q: Can I have more then one
sponsor?
A: You can have as many
sponsors as you need. However, you and the sponsors
need to make it clear to the visa officials why they are
willing to provide money to you for your education in the
U.S.
Q: I am from a country
where all the schools are taught in English. Why do I
need to submit English Proficiency Documents?
A. In order to not be in
violation of the accreditation association, the schools need
to have physical documentation in the student's file. Unless
the country is considered to have English as the first
language, (i.e. Canada, U.S., Australia, UK) all applicant's
need to submit physical proof of proficiency.
Q: Is the GRE or GMAT score
required for admission?
A: No. For
admission, it is not required that you have taken either the
GMAT test or the GRE tests. However,
we recommend you take the GMAT or GRE test. We suggest
this because, having taken the test, you are more likely to
be viewed as a more serious student by the U.S. visa officer
when you go to apply for your visa. You will be
required to take the GMAT score before you graduate from the
co-op program.
Q: When do I need to pay
the HTIR processing fee?
A:
You may begin the process of applying for HTIR's Work study
program by sending in all of the required documents without
first paying an application fee. However, as soon as
HTIR has reviewed all of your documents and notifies you
that you have been accepted into the HTIR Work Study
Program, you will be required to deposit with HTIR (or one
of its authorized agents) a $250 courier/processing fee.
HTIR guarantees to refund this entire fee if the university
you apply to does not accept you into the program you
have applied for
Q: What if I am in my last
semester of undergraduate study. Can I apply to the
program now?
A: You can send
the transcripts that you now have along with the other
required application materials. Also, include a
letter indicating that your final transcripts will be sent
as soon as you have received them from the College. In the
meantime, the School can work on "conditional" acceptance
for you--that is, you can be accepted for admission subject
only to presenting those final documents of graduation.
Q: What is the role of HTIR
Work-Study USA?
A: HITR
Work-Study USA
is
a global advisory and student support provider
that has established unique Co-op Programs for international
students at numerous colleges and universities
throughout the U.S.A..

about HTIR, and the HTIR
work-study program.
HTIR answers all
questions from potential co-op applicants and they receive
and pre-screen all documents sent by the application
materials sent by the students. When HTIR determines
that the applicant is qualified and that all documents are
in order, the applicants file will be sent to the Admission
Department where the school staff will process the file and
make a prompt decision about the applicant's admissibility
and they will notify the applicant by e-mail. HTIR has
an immigration attorney on-staff who through an online visa
course and personal emails will assist the students with
ideas and suggestions designed to help them prepare
themselves for the visa interview with the American
consulates abroad.
Q: Can I apply
directly to the school for admission to the co-op program,
or do I need to go through a consulting agent or placement
agency in my home country?
A:
If you are already a student in the U.S. and are wishing to
transfer to the co-op program, you can apply directly by
contacting HTIR at
coopadmin@htir.com
If you are living abroad and need to apply for a visa from
the U.S. consulate in your home country, you will need to
contact an HTIR office in your country or an authorized
consulting agency or placement agency there. There will be
a substantial fee charged by the consulting or placement
agency to handle your application material, assist you with
complying with U.S. government Immigration Service
regulations, training you in preparation for the visa
interview with the U.S. consulate, and in the scheduling of
the dates for enrollment in the program and for the visa
interview. Please contact HTIR to find
out the name and contact numbers of the consulting agent or
placement agent in your area.
