GRE Exams for Graduate School Entrance - these exams are offered 2x/year in Morocco. You'll want to check with AMIDEAST to find out when they are offering the exams next. 

Getting Help

Read up! There is so much information that is free online, and there are books you can order that can walk you through the process. Admittedly, you'll probably want some extra help though. In American schools, students have counselors or experienced family members to walk them through the application process. For those living abroad, attending non American schools, extra help can be, well... helpful! 

For students who want to apply for admissions or scholarships for U.S. Universities, many deadlines for the upcoming school year are approaching. For student advising if you are in Morocco, North Africa, or the Middle East, probably you can contact AMIDEAST for free advising. I strongly encourage students to start with free help, and then come to me if they want more in-depth support. 

For extra personalized advising, I do offer individualized or small group coaching. I can sit down with you in-person in or near Tetouan, or on Skype or Zoom if you live further away, and we can walk through your options, plans, and application together.  Please contact me for more information if that interests you.
