Kiev student, a graduate of the Moscow Lyceum in Moscow, George Solodko entered 10 at prestigious universities in the USA, including Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Northeast, Boston, Colgate universities, and Vassar College, Vanderbilt and Tufts universities.

In the interview KP.ua A schoolboy said that he chose US universities because “in an economy I like, they are strong and better.” Among all the offers, Solodko chose Harvard, since this university provided a grant for free tuition - about $ 300 thousand for a 4 year of study.

“Harvard has a program for talented students. The family indicates the amount they can pay, the rest is covered by the university,” says Georgy.

The university also offers students to earn extra money during their free time, but not more than two hours a day. You can work on campus in laboratories, libraries, cafes. Students live in hostels that are located next to the university.

According to Georgy, when selecting a university, the lion’s share of the time was spent monitoring websites - over 40 universities, collecting documents, not missing anything.

The guy said that in Ukraine there are branches of the American Ukraine Global Scholars (UGS), which provides all the information about studying in the USA. The deadline for submitting documents to American universities is 9 months earlier than Ukrainian ones. Application deadlines are January 1. Examinations run from December to February. Results can be found in April.

What you need for admission?

1. In November, register on Universal college application. This is a common platform for all American universities. Also on this site, the applicant must complete the questionnaire in English. Harvard College Questions for the Common Application or the Universal College Application Harvard supplement. This is a summary of yourself.

2. Pass two exams (in test form) SAT. The first one is general knowledge of school subjects, the second one is core and one and a half thousand words are written. To do this, you must register on the official exam site (collegereadiness.collegeboard.org). Check the centers and schedule on the same site.

3. Certificate in English knowledge of TOEFL not lower than 97 points.

4. Certificate.

5. A letter of recommendation from the school where you study.

After passing the exams, the university can arrange an interview with the applicant through Skype.

“I was asked questions about the political situation in Ukraine. They asked how the Maidan began... They asked about me. How does the family feel about me leaving... I, in turn, asked about the university,” recalls Georgy.

Choose items to your taste

In the USA, Solodko leaves at the end of August, and classes begin with September 10.

“Until September 5-6, you choose the subjects you intend to attend. I like the ability to make my own schedule. You can come to the lecture, for example, either at 10.00, or 12.00, or 16.00,” the guy said.

The best part about learning is that you can listen to lectures from home. Their records are posted on the university website. “That is, American education gives you freedom of choice and you are not “burdened” with unnecessary subjects. The student chooses his main direction in the third year,” shared Georgy.

He advised Ukrainian graduates not to be afraid and to enter the world's best universities. “I know guys who entered foreign universities. Although we studied in Ukraine in small cities - Pervomaisk, Lutsk ... The problem is that many students do not even go to the sites, many do not know that the company Coca-Cola this year provided grants for studying in America. Our applicants are simply lazy,” says Georgy.

Note that in addition to George, scholarships at prestigious American colleges also received two more schoolgirls from Kiev and Ternopil. Girls will receive $ 260 000 for study in America. In general, in the 2017 year, thanks to the UGS, 13 students entered American private universities and colleges and received grants amounting to about $ 3 million.
