Perfect Cooperation, Enhanced Advising: U.S. Admissions Summer School in Constanta, Aug. 28-30, 2012
With funding from the U.S. Embassy, EducationUSA Romania organized the first U.S. Admissions Summer School in Romania. To
increase Romanian students' chances for securing admissions and financial aid at U.S. universities, the Fulbright Educational
Advising Center/FEAC organized an intensive 3-day training program. The program also helped students on the Black Sea coast
become familiar with the U.S. study environment and U.S. cultural values.
The Summer School hosted by the leading high school in Constanta, “Mircea cel Batran” National College, allowed the FEAC
team to share strategies and insights into selecting the right universities and putting together strong applications that lead to
admission with funding in the U.S.A. In addition to the admissions training activities, the Summer School also included a U.S.
movie club in the evenings, the perfect opportunity to discuss U.S. cultural values and society. “The Blind Side” and “Good Will
Hunting” added a much appreciated cultural dimension to the event. More pictures at http://on.fb.me/FEACPics.
The next edition of this new service is scheduled in Sibiu in April 2013. A big thank you to the U.S. Embassy in Bucharest and the
Fulbright Commission for their support!
