Decoding U.S. Admissions: Tips for International Students

Applying to U.S. colleges as an international student involves far more than translating transcripts or converting grades. Selective U.S. universities evaluate international candidates through a distinct lens, balancing global educational context, institutional priorities, and holistic admissions rubrics. Understanding how admissions committees consider non-U.S. curricula — and how current higher education trends impact international enrollment — is key to building a compelling and strategic application.

Join IvyWise college admissions counselors Nat (formerly at NYU) and Tasha (formerly at USC and Boston University) for an in-depth exploration of the U.S. admissions process for international applicants. Our experts will discuss steps international students can take to demonstrate fit, readiness, and impactful engagement.

We will provide all registrants with a link to the recording of the webinar after the event.
