US universities practice “holistic admissions”, which means they want to get to know the whole you and understand your needs, values, and interests. Numbers don’t reflect who you are as a person.

Most applicants at top universities would all have a perfect GPA, Perfect SAT, perfect everything. But universities are not looking for perfect, they are

At this stage, you set yourself up for writing. You create a mindmap, start brainstorming, or think out loud. Tools to help you with brainstorming are Pomodoro Method and

Here, you collect all your ideas and start outlining them:

It's time to get everything out of your head on paper. Writing is a cyclical process of free writing and brainstorming. Again, it doesn't have to be perfect!

Revising and Editing are two different things! Revising stage is the time when you might want to reach out to someone asking for feedback, but be very clear about what exactly you are asking. If you ask somebody to "quickly glance" at your essay, chances are, you will not get anything useful.

Revising and Editing are also cyclical stages that take time. Be patient.

Join our 1-hour workshop to learn the best practices for writing a Personal Statement — a key component of your US college application.

The most important thing to remember is that Personal Statement is not a motivational letter. It is not a place where you would tell the university what you want to study or what is your intended major.

The complete Decision Matrix looks like this

Searching for universities as an international student is confusing. But applying to every school that provides scholarships is the best strategy for…wasting your time and money on applications that won’t succeed.

There are many factors to consider: the class size, the curriculum, the type of location, the opportunities offered, the student body, and the faculty body - the questions are endless! But finding a

How to Find the Right University as an International Student

“Veronica, how do I make my application stand out? Do I need a 4/4 GPA? Or maybe I should do extra volunteering?” — if these questions ever come across your head, our next event is for you!

Recent Harvard admissions stats reveal an uncomfortable truth: 8,000 applicants had perfect GPA, but less than 2,000 were accepted. It's not the grades, but a 

 that gets students into the world’s best universities. Join our event to learn exactly what a Personal Brand is and how you can create yours:

Build your personal brand as an international student

Doing personal projects is one of the best way to show your passion and initiative. Two things that universities (and companies) LOVE!

However, many projects never reach a stage where you can include them in your resume or mention during interview. We are going to change that!

Turn your Side Project into an impressive Extracurricular Activity

It’s the peak of the college application season! But before you hit Submit, it’s important to be aware of common mistakes that could very easily destroy an amazing application. Not all advice you find on the internet is applicable to international students.

Mistake #1: Applying to too many universities

Every application requires tremendous time, therefore it’s unrealistic to think that you can prepare 50 high-quality applications. Additionally, it costs money to apply and send SAT scores to every additional university. Fee waivers are available, but not always.

 of 10-15 universities and put maximum effort into every application. Eventually, you will attend one university only.

Mistake #2: Applying only to top universities

Students applying “only to Ivy Leagues” probably don’t know what they want from their education. It’s highly unlikely that only Harvard would satisfy your requirements for the desired university. If your goals are in-depth knowledge, supportive professors, talented community, full-ride scholarship, and travel opportunities — all of this can be found in hundreds of other schools all over the world.

Don’t limit your options based on prestige. Broaden your search and you will be amazed by the variety of options: 

online university with a new location every semester

Mistake #3: Overplaying the “international” card

Being an international student is hard, but also absolutely awesome — we have an interesting background, unique experiences and we speak more than 1 language. Many universities claim to want diversity, but

 just having a diverse background is not enough

. If you write the whole essay about how hard it was to learn English as a foreigner, it will not do the job of impressing the admissions team.

 as an international student. Speak three languages? Great! Instead of just stating that fact, talk about how you will facilitate language exchange at the university.

Mistake #4: Not talking with your parents enough

Imagine being accepted to a highly selective university with a scholarship only to have your parents not let you go because it’s too far from home? Or preparing 99.9% of documents but not being able to apply on time because your parents didn’t get their tax statement on time?

make your parents part of the conversation

 from the very beginning. Walk them through the process, explain your goals, and urge them to assist you in the document collection.

International students often feel like they need to prove themselves extra hard, and they do so by accumulating tons of (useless) certificates and participating in every single school club they can find.

 Instead of doing multiple extracurriculars, do 1-2 that show your 

. Creating a blog around the topic you care about and running it for 2 years with 10k followers is powerful. Creating 3 TikToks and forgetting about it is not.

It’s the peak of the college application season! But before you hit Submit, it’s important to be aware of common mistakes that could very easily destroy an amazing application. Not all advice you find on the internet is applicable to international students!

 and ways to prevent them. I bet many of you are making at least one right now! The session will be particularly useful to students applying this year, but everyone else is welcome to join as well.
