International Applicants
With nearly 2,500 universities to choose from, the United States has the world’s most coveted system of higher education. According to both The London Times and US News and World Report, 8 US institutions are among the top 10 global universities. CollegeWorks’ services are designed for international families who want specialized, expert advising and project management of the entire US college application process. CollegeWorks helps international students identify and apply to US colleges that fit them personally by understanding the nuances of the process, what colleges are looking for, and how students can best position themselves to gain admission to their top-choice schools. It is not just about having the right grades and test scores. It is also about students exploring their interests and reaching their full potential both inside and outside of the classroom.
Admissions policies and applications vary from school to school and the US college application process can be particularly daunting for International students. CollegeWorks counselors work one-on-one with international students and their parents to help them navigate the US admissions process. We cover every aspect of the process so students and parents are never alone. Each family will be paired with an experienced counselor who will help compose all admissions essays and craft cohesive applications that highlight the student’s strengths and talents in a way that will gain notice from admissions committees. Our personalized counseling approach minimizes application stress and yields tremendous success.
