GRE PREP Jan 15, 22, 29 and Feb 5, 10:00am 1:00pm
m
Instructor: Elisabeth Heftel
$210
The purpose of this course is to offer graduate school applicants the opportunity to refresh content knowledge, build strategy skills, and gain confidence in preparation for the GRE. As a class, we will get to know the structure and content of the exam and review the necessary verbal, mathematical, and analytical skills. This course will include a large volume of practice problems, specific outlined study approaches to each section, and the development of effective timing and answering strategies. Some out-of-class work will be expected of students who are committed to success.
BASIC MATH REFRESHER
Thursdays, January 20 and 27, 6:00 8:00pm
Instructor: Elisabeth Heftel
$65
The Math Refresher course is a 2-week review of Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, and basic Trigonometry. This is the perfect opportunity for students preparing for the GRE or GMAT to start at the basics of mathematics and work up to the highest levels of math that will be seen on the exams. This course is entirely content-based, a perfect complement to the more strategy-based GRE course. Our classes will incorporate significant visual examples to make the mathematical concepts as clear as possible. Asking questions is encouraged!

National Student Exchange!
I am writing to invite you to consider the National Student Exchange
(NSE). NSE gives you an opportunity to experience a different area
with its unique cultural and academic opportunities. Since NSE's
beginning in 1968, more than 94,000 students have had the opportunity
to participate in NSE, giving them the opportunity to:
· broaden their personal and educational perspectives
· experience new cultures
· explore new areas of study
· learn from different professors
· access new courses
· experience personal growth
· meet new people
· make new friends
· live in a different area
· investigate graduate schools
· seek future employment
Many returning UW students describe NSE as a life-changing experience
which has made them more independent, self-confident and resourceful;
expanded their risk-taking capabilities; and helped them better define
their academic and career objectives. Students who have been on
exchange return to UW with lasting friendships formed with students
from all over the country.
Prior to exchange, you will develop a written agreement to ensure that
the work you satisfactorily complete on exchange will count toward
your degree program here. NSE operates with tuition reciprocity
(tuition paid to our campus or at the in-state rates of the host
campus) and federal financial aid portability. Your nomination for
participation will be done by NSE @ UW, with selection by the host
campus being completed in March. With placement rates of 97 percent,
our students can generally find a location to meet both their academic
and personal objectives.
Think about it. Visit http://www.nse.org. Talk with your parents,
adviser, and professors about this exciting opportunity. Then, plan to
attend one of our information sessions where we will explain the
details of the program, provide brochures, outline application
procedures, and answer all of your questions. The session schedule is:
Friday January 7, 1:00 - 2:00 MGH 224
Tuesday January 11, 12:30 - 1:30 MGH 224
Wednesday January 12, 3:00 - 4:00 MGH 224
