A TYPICAL APPLICATION PACKET CONSISTS OF FOLLOWING:
1) Completed Graduate Application Form ( Online / Paper)
2) Application fees (dollar draft in the name of the university / online)
3) Statement of Purpose ( SOP )
4) 3 letters of Recommendations.
5) Attested Grade Transcripts from the university / College attended

7) Attested Mark sheets of Std 10th and 12th from the school / college attended
Photocopy of the GRE and TOEFL scores

10) Education Summary ( to show that the candidate has completed 16 years of education )
11) Bankers Letter – ( to show that the sponsor has sufficient funds to support the education of his son/daughter )It should be an Original letter signed by the concerned authorities.
12) Affidavit of financial Support - ( the Affidavit should be on a 20 or 100 rupee Non judicial Stamp Paper indicating that the sponsor has sufficient funds for his son/daughter’s education abroad.) The affidavit is often made by a NOTARY requiring the presence of the sponsor to sign the affidavit in presence of the NOTARY.
13) Achievements Profile – list of achievements with certificates to support the same.
14) Photocopy of Degree Certificates ( attested ) – indicating that the candidate has completed the course – ( if the candidate is in the final year he may not have it )
15) Curriculum Vitae

IMPORTANT:
— When a student applies to a US University, one of the important things in the application packet are the
. TRANSCRIPTS:The transcripts are mandatory for each university without which the application is
considered to be incomplete.
— The Transcripts are usually issued by the college. The Student has to make an application and submit
his/her mark sheets along with the application to the concerned authorities in the college.
— The US universities usually convert your percentage into GPA (GREATER POINT AVERAGE) from the
Transcripts.
— For almost all universities, the transcripts issued by the college are considered to be VALID.
— Some US universities require ORIGINAL UNIVERSITY STAMPED TRANSCRIPTS & DEGREES COMPLETED FOR EXAMPLE: If a candidate from Prin K.M.Kundnani College of Pharmacy has applied to LONG ISLAND
UNIVERSITY ( BROOKLYN CAMPUS or C.W.POST CAMPUS) for pursuing his/her post
graduation, then LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY requires transcripts from MUMBAI UNIVERSITY and
not the college affiliated to the MUMBAI UNIVERSITY ( Prin K.M.Kundnani College of Pharmacy is
affiliated to the MUMBAI UNIVERSITY)
Hence, If a candidate sends transcripts from the college (in this case – Prin K.M.Kundnani College of
Pharmacy), his application WILL NOT BE TAKEN into consideration, unless he/she sends the
transcripts stamped from MUMBAI UNIVERSITY.
— In addition to the transcripts, this university also requires Degree completed – with the degree certificates
attested from Mumbai University without which the application wont be taken into consideration.

FOR EXAMPLE:
If a candidate wishes to get enroll for the FALL 2007, he/ she usually starts applying 8 months prior
i.e. in the month of December 2006 / January 2007 when the candidate is in the final year.
While applying, he/she sends only 6 semesters (SEM 1- 6) transcripts to the university since he/she
will be completing his/her graduation in the month of June / July/ August (depends whenever the result is
declared)
7th Semester and 8th Semester transcripts are usually sent after a student completes his/her graduation and
once he/she is given an admit to the US universities to the graduate international admissions office after
going to the USA.
A provisional degree certificate is given once a candidate has completed his/her graduation.
LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY requires all 8 semesters transcripts from the Mumbai University signed
and stamped by the Registrar along with the degree certificates ( CONVOCATION / PROVISIONAL )
signed and stamped by the registrar without which the candidates application wont be taken into
consideration.
Hence, if a candidate is in the final year and has applied to LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY, then his/her
application wont be taken into consideration since he/she will send only 6 semesters transcripts and not 8
semesters transcripts & he/she wont be having the DEGREE CERTIFICATE.
— AS PER THE RULES, MUMBAI UNIVERSITY DOES NOT MAKE / ISSUE TRANSCRIPTS FOR ANY STUDENT IRRESPECTIVE OF ANY FIELD.
— Hence in such a situation, the candidate is supposed to make photocopies of the transcripts issued by the
College and give it for ATTESTATION to the University to the concerned authorities.
— LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY also requires original university stamped mark sheets. and not attested
from the college attended.
— SOME OF THE US UNIVERSITIES WHICH REQUIRES ALL 8 SEMESTERS MARKSHEETS,
TRANSCIPTS & DEGREE CERTIFICATES ARE LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY ETC. EVALUATION OF THE TRANSCRIPTS
— Every US university converts candidates percentage into GPA (Greater Point Average) using their own
grading system.
— Some Universities give the job of converting candidate’s percentage to GPA to EVALUATION
AGENCIES like WES (WORLD EDUCATION SERVICES), CED – CENTER OF EDUCATIONAL
DOUCMENTATION etc
—FOR EXAMPLE:
If a candidate has applied to Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS), then
the candidate is suppose to send his/her mark sheets, transcripts and other application materials to
MCPHS and separately send his/her marks sheets and transcripts at the same to CENTER OF
EDUCATIONAL DOCUMENTATION (CED), since MCPHS requires an evaluated copy of the
transcripts from the CENTER OF EDUCATIONAL DOCUMENTATION which will convert the
candidate’s percentage from the transcripts/mark sheets to GPA and send it to MCPHS.
CED is the only evaluation service which MCPHS accepts.
—Without the evaluation of mark sheets / transcripts from CED, the candidates application at MCPHS wont
be forwarded from the International Graduate Admission to the Department to which he/she has applied.
—Some of the Universities which require evaluation of transcripts from evaluation agencies include –
LONG ISLAND UNIIVERSITY, UNIVERSITY OF OKHALOMA AT TULSA , MASSACHUSSETS COLLEGE OF PHARMACY AND HEALTH SCIENCES, UNIVERSITY
OF CALIFORNIA AT STOCKTON etc.
—Hence while applying to the US university, the candidate is expected to visit the websites of the
Respective universities and see the requirements of the university, failure to which can delay/affect their
Application / admission process.

It is no secret that I have a very deep and personal relationship with God. I have pushed and resisted that relationship this past year through all the bullshit I have had to go through living with Herpes but once again, God is bigger than my stubbornness and broke through that outbreak cold sore and all I had Genital Herpes. For me personally, hearing over and over how I am not good enough has really invaded my mind in the worst way possible. I completely shut down and I was just waking up like is this how life going to end this temporary herpes outbreak “fuck everybody with herpes if you know what I mean” but let's be honest here...
It is a cowardly to say no to herbal medicine. It is fear based. And it is dishonest to what my heart wants. Don't build a wall around yourself because you are afraid of herbals made or taking a bold step especially when it's come to health issues and getting cure. So many young men/ women tell me over and over that Dr Itua is going to scam me but I give him a try to today I feel like no one will ever convince me about herbal medicine I accept Dr Itua herbal medicine because it's cure my herpes just two weeks of drinking it and i have been living for a year and months now I experience outbreak no more, You can contact him if you need his herbal medicine for any such diseases like, Herpes, Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Syndrome Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic,Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob,,Lyme Disease,Epilepsy, ,ALS,Hepatitis,Copd,Parkinson disease.Genetic disease,Fibrodysplasia disease,Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Men/Woman infertility, bowel disease ,Huntington's disease ,Diabetes,Fibroid. disease,Lupus,Lipoid Storage diseases( Gauchers disease),Polycystic Disease.,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Cirrhosis of Liver,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,Alzheimer's disease,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma,Allergic,HIV, Epilepsy, Infertility, Love Spell,. Email..drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com then what's app.+2348149277967.... My advice to any sick men/women out there is simple... Be Always an open book. Be gut wrenching honest about yourself, your situation, and what you are all about. Don't hold anything back. Holding back will get you nowhere...maybe a one way ticket to lonelyville and that is NOT somewhere you want to be. So my final truth...and I'm just starting to grasp this one..
