Helpful Hint: When writing your application essay or statement of purpose, make sure to use proper citations if you are referring to someone else's work. In the US, not using proper citations is called plagiarism, and is academically dishonest. Don't risk your applications to university being rejected because you claimed someone else's ideas as your own.

If you have questions about plagiarism and how to avoid it, please ask us. We're here to help.

The Pumpkin Pie Experiment

It's almost Thanksgiving in the USA (Novemebr 24th). This is one US tradition/holiday that international students are not familiar with before they get here. It is a day to spend with family and friends. And, of course, eat more than humanly possible. The traditional Thanksgiving dinner includes roast turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie.

Pumpkin pie is a new experience for most new internaional students. It is a sweet dessert made primarily of pureed pumkin, cinnamon and nutmeg. And it is either a love it or hate it experience. After hosting many Thanksgiving dinners for international students, there are either a lot of empty plates or a lot of left over pieces of pie - all with one bite taken out of them.

It's fun to watch the looks on people's faces as they take their first bite of pumpkin pie!

Are you thinking about studying in the United States?If so, how do you plan on finding the right school for you? This is not an easy task. For a majority of international students, they decide on a school in one of just a few ways, often without much information. First, international students look at rankings. This is not a bad place to start, but it may not give you a detailed picture of what life will be like for you at a particular school or in a particular city. Second, they rely on word of mouth - they know someone who goes to or has gone to a particular school. And third, they rely on recruiters and agent to get them about the schools they represent.

All of these will give you some idea of the school schoices available to you. But IntlEd Consulting takes it a step further. We get to know you, your dreams and goals, your likes and dislikes. Then we help tailor a school search to you. We want you to get into the right US college or university for you.

Welcome to IntlEd Consulting. It is IntlEd’s mission to work with students from around the globe who want to pursue an education in the United States. Earning a college degree in the USA is often a confusing and daunting process. It is our goal to work individually with students and their families to help make this dream a reality.

The IIntlEd staff has 12 years of experience working with international students in the higher education setting. We are now using this experience to help perspective international students through the process of choosing a school, through the application and acceptance process, to getting your student visa, what to expect when you arrive in the USA and strategies for succeeding as an international student.

How do we differ from other services? First, we focus solely on international students. Many services cater to the broad spectrum of new college students, often focusing more on American applicants with very little for internationals. Also, we are not a recruiting agency. We do not work with any specific school, nor are we paid by schools to bring in students. That means that we are completely dedicated to serving the needs of international students. Lastly, we are not a recruitment or placement service. We are there for the long term - being there to support you through all of your academic, immigration and social needs. We'll be there for you from the first day through graduation and beyond.

We will work as you want us to – either by choosing from a menu of services or as an all-inclusive package deal. The services we offer include:

- How to narrow down the possibilities and choose the right school(s) for you
- Help with the application process, including deadlines, forms and essay requirements
- Advising on costs, fees and living expenses
- Housing options
- Visa and immigration issues
- Pre-arrival and cultural information
- Succeeding in an American classroom
- Emotional support for both students and families
