Educational Advising Center
The Public Affairs Section at US embassy in Warsaw has established an Educational Advising Center that provides services to Polish citizens interested in university and graduate study in the U.S. The Center has a large collection of up-to-date catalogs and guides, in print and electronic formats, with information on the American system of higher education and the programs of various universities. It includes information on the admissions process, necessary documentation and fees, and required standardized tests. The Center is open at specified hours to individual students seeking guidance on selecting an institution and course of study best suited to their needs.

The Center makes available current, accurate and impartial information on the full range of accredited institutions of higher learning in the U.S. It does not serve as an agent or recruiter for any educational institution. The Center’s resources include:

  • Profiles of American institutions
  • Areas of study and course descriptions
  • Application procedures and strategies
  • Options for financial assistance
  • Information on standardized tests

Requirements for admission vary considerably among U.S. institutions. All require a strong secondary school record. Most require one or more standardized tests such as TOEFL (which measures the candidate’s ability in English), SAT (a general knowledge exam), GRE (for post-graduate programs), GMAT (for business programs) or USMLE (a medical licensing exam).

The cost of study in the U.S. varies at each institution and may become very important criteria when choosing the best program of study.
The Educational advisor will provide necessary information on possible financial aid and will guide how to apply for them.

Individual students who are interested in individual advising sessions can make an appointment with Educational Advisor Magdalena Wącisz. Please make an appointment at least a week in advance.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact Ms. Wącisz directly at:
(48-22) 504 23 63 or via e-mail: waciszmd@state.gov
