Uncover the secrets of US universities!
Top US universities provide students with rich educational experiences, lifelong networks and unparalleled career opportunities. It's reasons like this that attract thousands of students every year, many of them international students from the UK and Europe.
There is so much to learn about US universities and so much differs from the UK and EU. Discover this new world of opportunity with our panel, comprised of the three most informed players in university admissions: a current Stanford student, a Crimson Strategist and Princeton Graduate, and a former Stanford Admissions Officer. We shed light on the US college landscape, what admissions officers look for, and what university life is like on the other side of the pond.
In this webinar we covered:
- Why study in the US?
+ The features and benefits of a US college education - What's the application process like and what are Admissions Officers looking for?
+ Lived experience from a current student + The three pillars of a US application - What's college experience like?
+ Campus life, research opportunities and clubs & societies - What's life like after university? + Internships, alumni network and career guidance
How Crimson can help
Applying to top US universities is a difficult and stressful task which is why so many students seek external support.
Each of our programmes are tailored to the student and are delivered by a carefully selected team of mentors who provide focussed support with each and every aspect of the process - from university selection to essay writing and SAT preparation.
By signing up for this webinar you will get a 1:1 university strategy meeting for you and your child with one of our expert Academic Advisors. They will review your child’s academic and extracurricular profile, provide tailored guidance as to suitable university pathways and outline what they need to do to achieve their goals.
