Next information session: Tuesday, August 28

Our next monthly online information session is set for:

Tuesday, August 28 at 2 pm Italy time (noon GMT).

These sessions give prospective applicants a chance to learn more about us and to ask any questions they like. We're happy to discuss our academic program, living in Bologna, financial aid, career opportunities, application procedures -- whatever participants want to discuss.

To participate, all you need is an Internet connection, plus a phone line to make a local or toll-free call for the audio portion of the session.

For details on how to connect to the August 28 session, click here. Please read them carefully.

In next week's session we'll give tips on making sure you can complete an application on time.

If you have any questions about the session, feel free to write to admissions@jhubc.it or call us at +39 051 29 17 847.

We'll be holding these sessions each month, at different times to accommodate different time zones. Here is our tentative schedule looking ahead and proposed themes; we have not yet set the times of sessions beyond September's:

September 18 at 4 pm Italy time (1400 GMT) - standardized tests
October 24 - letters of recommendation
November 28 - statement of purpose
December 19 - analytical essay

There will be separate instructions for connecting to these sessions between September and December. We'll circulate them via email and also on this Journal.
