myUface Blog

Welcome to the myUface.com blog, where we will strive to provide you with all the information you’ll need to identify and gain admission to educational programs in the United States.

My name is Nathan Truitt, and I’ve been working with international students from different parts of the world for about a decade. I’ve also had the chance to work with university admissions staff on a variety of interview and selection panels. I hope my varied experience will allow me to:

• display a solid understanding of what you, international students, are looking for in the U.S., and what challenges you face in coming to study in America
• help you understand the way the admissions process work at U.S. universities, and give you some advice on how to navigate the process successfully.

Starting today, April 20, 2009, I will be writing at least one post a day, every day, without exception. Over the course of the coming months and years, I hope to work together with you, the readers of this blog, to create the most comprehensive resource on the web for international students. To do this, I’ll need your help. It’s not enough for me to write my own opinions and share my own information – I need to know what you want to learn about, and what information you need. For that reason, I strongly encourage you to make comments on the blog or e-mail me your questions. You can always e-mail me at blog@myuface.com. I welcome any and all questions about the U.S. admissions process, and I will do my best to provide quality answers in a short amount of time.

You do not need to use myUface in order to read this blog. However, I would strongly encourage you to pre-register for a free myUface account, for two, simple reasons:

• it’s free.
• it’s useful.

That’s a sufficient introduction to out first post. Over the next two posts, I will more fully introduce myself and the subject matter I will be covering in this daily blog.
