What does it take to get into a top US college? Join our webinar to find out!
So, what does it take to impress Admissions Officers? We've invited Martin Walsh, the former Dean of Admissions at Stanford University, to join us on our upcoming webinar and tell us just that. Don't miss this opportunity to learn what top colleges like Stanford are looking for and how they assess applications.
Is your child aiming for a top US university like Stanford, Harvard or MIT?
Leading universities like these are known the world over for their high standards of education and facilities and unparalleled career opportunities and alumni networks. The only problem is, the best universities attract the best talent and admission rates are falling each year.
Stanford University, for example, only accepts 4.6% of applicants every year - with over 44,000 applicants in 2021 that's some fierce competition.
You will learn:
- How the application evaluation process is broken down
- The personal qualities Admissions Officers look for in prospective students
- Trends impacting admissions decisions
- How to capture the Admissions Officers attention in the personal essay
- The benefits of applying early
- Case studies of accepted students and why their profiles stood out
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.
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.
