De toute façon si tu as pas fait la biologie, chimie et physique américaine, tu rateras sûrement ton MCAT. -- La procédure d'admission commence avec le site central du AMCAS. C'est un dossier valable pour toutes les universités, et après tu fais tes dossiers pour chaque université en plus. -- Beaucoup d'américains ne réussisent jamais à entrer dans une fac de médecine là-bas et vont à l'étranger.

NASA also actively encouraged engineers to come up with cheaper approaches to space science. It was then that one of us (Twiggs, then at Stanford University's Space and Systems Development Lab), together with Jordi Puig-Suari, a professor at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, realized that to get the small-satellite concept to fly, some standardization would be crucial

Dans ce texte on se demande pourquoi le prix des grandes universités s’est envolé en moins de cinquante ans alors que les compagnies aériennes ont des difficultés à garder leur prix ? Pour répondre à cela nous verrons dans une première partie l’ascension de la réputation des grandes universités en prenant l’exemple de Stanford et dans une seconde partie l’ambition des jeunes d’aujourd’hui qui ne recule devant rien afin d’être accepter dans

est moins sélective : plus des deux tiers des candidats sont admis. Depuis un an, les universités sont obligées de poster un "calculateur de coût réel" sur leur site Internet. Il permet aux parents d'estimer le montant qu'ils vont devoir débourser. L'enseignement supérieur a atteint des tarifs astronomiques. Harvard ? 55 000 dollars (42 000 euros) par an. Berkeley ? 19 000 dollars - une affaire, c'est une université publique. En quatre ans, les parents financent l'équivalent d'un logement. Même si 70
