Preparing for the Ph.D. Program as an International Student.

As an international student, the admission and acceptance process into any university here in the United States of America is different from that of a citizen. Since I applied to the various programs myself, the first thing I did was familiarize myself with the process for international students. When I got accepted into Texas Tech University, I immediately visited the international students’ page on their website to know what steps I needed to take. Although I am an international student, mine was a little bit different because I had just finished my MFA at another American university when I received my offer letter into the Ph.D. program.
