Q. What is the admission and application system at community colleges in the United States?
A. Community colleges in the United States operate an “open� admissions policy. This means anyone who wishes to enroll and meets the minimum entry requirements can do so.  Each institution will have its own set of admission requirements, but the minimum usually includes the following:
• Completed application form
• Proof of secondary school completion, usually 12 years of schooling
• Certification of English language proficiency – TOEFL or IELTS
• Evidence of financial support
The English language proficiency requirement may be lower for a community college than it is for a four-year institution.  In addition, if a student’s score is a little below the entry requirement, the community college may still admit the student into the English as a Second Language (ESL) programme. Successful completion of all the prescribed ESL courses will open the door to the wider academic world of the community college.
Students should contact the admissions office of the two-year college to request international admissions information.  Many community colleges have websites with downloadable or on-line applications.  To search for community colleges, students may visit the American Association of Community Colleges website (https://www. aacc. nche. edu/college-finder/ ) or bigfuture. collegeboard. org/college search and nces. ed. gov/collegenavigator.
Q. From whom should I take my letters of recommendations if I am applying for Ph. D. programs in the United States?
A. While the requirements for letters of recommendation (LOR) may vary by programme/university, generally the letter can be taken either from an academic (teachers/professors) or professional contact (supervisor/ project leader/ clients). Professional contacts are especially relevant for applicants who have some work experience. Some universities require at least one or two LORs from academic contacts out of the three.
Applicants should carefully read the instructions related to reference letters for the shortlisted universities before deciding from whom they should take their letters.
