    Does insurance count as mandatory or subjective in order to get enrolled in US? It's haunting me just to think about bad things that can possibly happen during enrollment like sick, lost, car accident, the medical bills etc

    • @rachel_lin
      @rachel_lin  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Some schools may require it or offer insurance packages to students who don't have one! For example, UC Berkeley has SHIP (Student Health Insurance Plan) that students can pay to get insurance coverage. You can read more about it here - uhs.berkeley.edu/ship/. So don't be too worried about bad things happening, as you could get insured in the US if you wanted to. Hope that helps!

    Hey Rachel!
    Loved the content!
    I had just one request
    If you could please make a video on how international students can get financial aid or scholarships to Berkeley and to other good colleges!
    Also, if you know an international student who got in on a merit based scholarship , please make a video on that too
    I'd really really appreciate it cause I'm trying hard to get into one of the good schools there
    Thanks so much :)

    Hi Rachel, it was a lovely video. I have a question! I graduated from at accounting University of finance and economics in my home country in 2019. Right now, I'm an ESL student and live in San Francisco. I still want to study. But I don't know what degree I will earn a bachelor's or master's degree. What do you think should I earn which degree? if you have time, please give me a piece of advice! Thank you so much

    • @rachel_lin
      @rachel_lin  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Congratulations! Was your degree from university a bachelors degree? Since you’ve studied finance and economics already, you may be interested in business school in the United States! If you already have a bachelors degree, then you could apply for MBA Business programs. An MBA would be a graduate school program. Hope this helps! Let me know if you had any other questions! 😁

    I intend to join for undergrad program for business administration at Berkeley how can I do that I mean what's the process to apply for business administration if you could tell me step by step or male a video on it? Thank you also please note I'm an international student

    • @rachel_lin
      @rachel_lin  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Nowsheen! To apply into the undergraduate business major at Berkeley, you would apply to UC Berkeley regularly, then once you are already a student here, in your sophomore year at Berkeley you would apply into Haas (our graduate business school, that offers undergraduate programs). During your freshman and sophomore year at Berkeley, you would take 4 pre-requisite courses: math, statistics, economics, and business. During the fall of your sophomore year, you would apply into Haas, which is like an essay application. In the spring of your sophomore year, you would hear back whether you are accepted or not. If you are accepted into the program, then your junior and senior year you would take Haas courses and graduate from Berkeley with a Business Administration degree from Haas. Haas also offers some undergraduate business programs where you would apply directly into from high school, which you can check out at their website, here: haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/. Mostly though, students who are interested in business apply during their sophomore year as I described above. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions!

      @@rachel_linThank you so much! Also what if I don't get into Haas? I'm a business major student currently doing A levels so my only option is Business Administration and if I apply during the sophomore year what should I take in the freshman year? Also what's the admission process like for international students? I hope I'm not bothering you 😶

      I asked Derek and he said yes, it can be harder to gain internships as international students because of VISA issues, but he has seen people gain US summer internships, so it is not impossible.
