*Hanavist: Oh, so there IS a separate program for int’ls? *

There is not special program for internationals (Atleast I have not heard of one till date). It’s just according to the I-20 internationals are not allowed in the US 30 days prior to when the univ. begins using the Student Visa. (I know this coz I too am an international and have spent about an hour reading through the webpage in order to procure a visa)
We may enter the US using a visitor visa but we have to change it to a student visa before we study in the univ.

Due to the above mentioned reason, the time period of July and August is the time when most of the internationals attend the registration as under normal circumstances we(internationals) are not going to travel to the US just for the sake of attending the registration.

I hope that I have answered ur question. And others please point out if I am wrong.
