Private Colleges Worry About a Dip in Enrollment, By TAMAR LEWIN


NYT - Dec 22, 2008 - First came the good news for St. Olaf College: early-decision applications were way up this year.

"To be quite honest, I don't know how we'll end up," said Derek Gueldenzoph, dean of admissions at the college, in Northfield, Minn. "By this time last year, we had three-quarters of all our applications. The deadline's Jan. 15. If what we've got now is three-quarters of what we're going to get, we're in big trouble. But if this turns out to be only half, we'll be fine."

Applying for a Student VISA (useful tips to keep in mind regarding applying for a visa)

The most important thing to keep in mind is that when a student is applying for a visa, he/she must prove to the consular officer that he/she is NOT going to stay in the US after graduating. In other words, the consular officer views the student as a potential immigrant and it is up to the student to prove that this is not the case.
