What Admissions Officers Are Looking For

Top US universities are looking for the leaders and change-makers of tomorrow. As a result, they attract and seek well-rounded students who are not only eager to learn but likely to inspire others. Whilst strong academics are a must, students must also demonstrate extracurricular engagement and clear personal qualities.

01

Academic Potential

Alongside A/A* grades or IB scores of 40+, top universities look for 1500+ SAT / 32+ ACT scores. However, good scores alone are not enough to gain admission!

02

Extracurriculars

They want to see evidence of consistent extracurricular engagement in something you're passionate about. They also want to see evidence of leadership; students who take on responsibility and inspire those around them.

03

Essays

This is your opportunity for the Admissions Officer to really get to know you. It's a reflective, creative and personal essay, but they are more interested in the effect the event had on you than the story itself.

04

Personal Qualities

Admissions Officers want to ensure that their university is the best fit for both you and them. They are looking for students who will complement both the classroom and dormitory atmosphere.

Starting early was definitely helpful as it allowed me to write up 12 or 13 drafts and make it very individual and personal to me. I am really proud of the final statement, and that was all because of my team.
