Dominican Republic Education

[SantiagotoUSA 0]

Hello Everyone,

My husband plans to attend the Community College when he gets here. For all of those who are from the Dominican Republic, do you have to take the puebra nacionals to attend college here in the US? My husband finished all of his classes but did not plan on attending college in the Dominican Republic so he did not take the test. He did however pass all of his classes which means he finished school.

I called the community college here and they said that he just has to submit his HS transcripts. They never mentioned the puebra nacionals. (Sorry, i think thats mispelled)

Does anyone on here know of anyone who came from the Dominican Republic and attended college? What was required?

Thanks.

This would seem to be the operative factor; the colleges will tell you what they want. If you're uneasy with an answer, make sure that you talk with the chief admissions counselor. The Admissions Department's web page might also be helpful, if international-student admission is discussed.

To ease many things later, have your husband obtain certified copies (plural) of all his education records and any other official papers that you can think of -- birth certificate, medical records, etc. It can be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming to get these things from afar.
