thanks for all your help! I will expedite the application process. actually some of the school web sites say application is closed, but i suppose I will still try to apply.

Another thing. I notice the web sites don't provide the address of the schools, some only provide PO box, some nothing. How can I know their location without being there? I presume most of the schools are in Doha itself? or the outskirts? Is there any online map of qatar/doha which gives good details?

thanks
