Description

Making wise choices –

from test preparation to college application to enrollment

American universities can open doors to global opportunities, conferring an unmatched breadth of education and resources. College Goals counselors help families understand the advantages and challenges for international applicants to US (and UK) universities and the importance of selecting universities that fit each student, where they will thrive and succeed. With multifaceted admissions experience, we know how to help students create applications that stand out.

What do families need to know in order to start the university search and application process? How can students prepare for their tests and do their best on the applications? This presentation will address these issues and more – and our experts will take your individual questions, too.
