SAUDI ARABIA Before I came to the UC San Diego English Language Institute, I was very weak in writing and grammar. However, I can confidently say that my writing has improved dramatically and I received a high score on the TOEFL. My teachers were very creative and knowledgeable. It may sound strange, but I always looked forward to my grammar class because of the fun activities we did. I recommend the ELI to students who are serious about their education and want to take their English skills to the next level.
Mission Statement of the English Language Institute It is our mission to provide English language instruction of the highest quality, in which people can learn to their full potential, develop a deeper understanding of the United States, and always receive courteous and knowledgeable service.

Rachel Nero BRAZIL
The Intensive Legal English program was extremely important for my career. It prepared me to apply for law school and pursue a master degree in Comparative Law. It really helped me improve my English skills and also provided me with a necessary overview of the most important topics of American Law. I am currently attending the University of San Diego (USD) School of Law and working on my LLM in Comparative Law. After graduation, I plan to sit for the California Bar, so I will be licensed to practice law here. San Diego Convention Center 8 | Apply at ip.extension.ucsd.edu Apply at ip.extension.ucsd.edu

P.R. CHINA I applied to the University Preparation Academy with the goal to get accepted and complete a Master’s of Finance at UC San Diego’s Rady School of Management. My instructors helped me create the best possible Statement of Purpose and CV, which definitely helped when I applied to Rady. They also offered me good advice on making appointments with professors. I am happy to report that I was accepted to the Rady School of Management. I was very lucky to have excellent instructors in the University Preparation Academy who always supported me. Every time I return to the English Language Institute, I feel at home. It’s like my home overseas.

Moderate homework Application fee: $150 Express mail fee: $50 Tuition: $1,900 Other costs: $320 CONVERSATION LEADERS Did you know that ELI students practice speaking English with American UC San Diego students and members of the local community in our Conversation classes? Conversation Leaders actively participate in several hours of class during the 4-week Conversation program, 4-week Conversation and Fluency program, and elective Conversation classes in many of our 10-week programs. Our ELI students can also practice speaking English with Conversation Leaders during Conversation Cafés, which are held frequently. UC San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography pier ADVISORY ABOUT VARIABLE ENROLLMENTS Enrollment numbers in our Academic, Conversation, and Conversation and Fluency programs vary greatly from month to month. If our placement tests indicate that a student’s English proficiency level does not permit placement in the original 4-week program class, we may place the student in 4 weeks of study in a corresponding 10-week program, or we may provide a combination of classes to ensure a full-time program of 20 hours per week for 4 weeks. Alternatively, we may decide to place all 4-week program students in level-appropriate classes in a corresponding 10-week program of 20 hours per week for 4 weeks. When this happens, the students’ 4-week program will have the features described for the new 10-week program, not the features described for the original program. The hours, tuition, and fees for the students’ 4-week program will remain the same. *ADVISORY ABOUT LEVEL REQUIREMENTS Only students who test into high-intermediate and advanced levels on UCSD-ELI placement exams will be accepted into the Academic English, Business English, and Medical English programs. This level requirement corresponds to a minimum score of approximately 60 on the TOEFL iBT, 5.0 on the IELTS, or 160 on the Cambridge Exam: First (FCE). Students who do not qualify will be transferred to the Conversation and Fluency program. In April, May, June, and November, when the Conversation and Fluency program is not offered, students testing lower than high-intermediate will receive a combination of classes to ensure a full-time program of 20 hours per week for four weeks. 11
