How to Get Conditional Admission

by Eshtar Aluauee

Education is definitely important for people because it provides them a future. They will have a good career and become a respected part of the society. Getting admission from a famous university opens up opportunities to get a high level education. There are many steps which the student must pass to obtain admission. Obtaining conditional admission is significant. It means that applicants should get English requirements while learning English in an institute until getting full admission. I got conditional admission from Texas A&M University after I passing many stages.

The first stage, before applying, should be thinking about tuition of study. Can you get a scholarship or can you provide the payment of the tuition and fees? As for me, I got a scholarship from the Iraqi government. Obtaining a scholarship is very difficult because I had to compete with many students. Earning a scholarship requires having good grades in your academic study, meeting the English requirement, and an interview.

The second step is to apply to the US universities related to your major. Look at the requirements of your department because some of the universities have a high English requirement. Then find out the academic ranking of the university which is selected. Next, send an email to your coordinator’s department. Mention in your email that you need a conditional admission, and attach of your all academic certificates and your resume to it. After you receive the email from the university which grants you conditional admission, start to apply with the application form. Apply to more than one university until you get admission to more than one. I applied to ten universities and I obtained about five conditional admissions.

The final step is after you get conditional admission from many universities. Select one of them which has the highest rank and determine what is the location of university, whether in a quiet city or in a crowded city. Also, check the weather of the city. Finally, find a safe place to live that is not too expensive because the prices of living differ between cities.

I faced challenges to get a scholarship and to apply to US Universities. I intend to pursue a graduate degree in physics at Texas A &M University. There are three reasons I applied to a United States (US) university for my Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). Firstly, I wish to expand my knowledge base in Physics science and secondly, to prepare myself for a budding future career as an academic and I wish to be a contributor to the progress of my country, Iraq. In addition, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Physics at Texas A&M University because the Physics program offers many exciting research opportunities that will provide me with an intellectually satisfying experience.
