Alice Schaaf, assistant director for international admissions<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Applying to college can be a complex process for any prospective student, but language barriers and differing terminologies can make it even tougher for international students. They may have to figure out the difference between “test-optional” and “test-flexible,” learn the different types of English proficiency exams \u2014 even a term like “application” can mean something different to a student who is unfamiliar with the U.S. admission process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transylvania’s Assistant Director for International Admissions Alice Schaaf and Transy junior and South Africa native Theresa Redford joined Ben Worthington of the IELTS podcast<\/a> to talk about some of these terms and give helpful tips for international students applying to Transylvania or any other university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IELTS exam<\/strong><\/a> is an International English Language Testing system for students to provide proof of their English skills, for either immigration or academic reasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
