The latest US admissions trends
The last two years have been turbulent, to say the least, and has thrown the world of education upside down. Many changes have come into effect to the US application process and it can be hard to keep up.
This is why we’re hosting this webinar to cover all of the changes and admission trends over 2020 and 2021 and provide some clarity on how Admissions Officers are reviewing applications.
Joining us on the night is Former Admissions Officer, Jeremy Parks. Jeremy worked at Johns Hopkins University where he assisted in the recruitment, evaluation, and selection of students and is keen to share his insight from the other side of the admissions table.
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.
We will cover:
- The impact of COVID-19 on US admissions
- If US universities will stay SAT/ACT test-optional and whether your child should still submit a score
- The benefits of applying early action/early decision
- How Admissions Officers weight the different components of the application
- How external support can improve your chance of admission
There will be a live Q&A at the end of this webinar, so bring your questions to the table! All attendees will receive a US university roadmap to help them set their goals and deadlines in preparation for applications.
