INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ARE MISLEAD BY INTERNATIONAL AGENTS

In recent months, college admissions consultants have been warned about how some international agents ( not all)... are pushing international students to schools where they do not belong in order to gain a maximum payday at the end and get greater kick backs.

College is suppose to be a rewarding and fruitful experience for a student who is age 18-23, and seen as a period of transition.  However, when we meet international students we find that they do not know how they got to where they are and had been hoping for a better experience.

It is felt that the US is getting a lot of students from China today because they do not have enough colleges and universities in their own country for students to attend.  Their parents are anxious, just as US families are about the dreams they have for their children.

It is important that if you are or know of a student that is applying to a US college that you help them connect with a college admissions consultant in the US who can properly guide them into a school where they can grow as an individual and leave with fond memories.

 CHINESE STUDENTS BEING MISLEAD BY AGENTS

STUDENTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE APPLYING TO US COLLEGES

The numbers are up and students don't realize that getting in a school today of their choice is more than just having good grades and test scores.  It is more than competing with their friends, it is about how they are going to interact with students from all over the world.  The competition is now GLOBAL.

Today, the largest number of immigrants coming into the US are those from Asian Countries, and likewise, we are in Asia helping to promote the US.

Regardless of where you are from, when you are applying to colleges and universities, KNOW THE SCHOOLS YOU ARE APPLYING TO.  Know what their mission is.  Know the kinds of majors they offer and why the students who attend they go there.  At the same time, take an accounting as to who you are, and ask yourself honestly,  does this school fit who I am?

Listen to this video on what colleges want students to do as they apply to the schools they are interested in.  While it is one college, the views in this colleges are pretty much the way all colleges view students.

If you feel stuck in your applications, not sure about the essay, or how to set up your timeline, contact us.  We offer different packages to different families to help them meet their goal of getting into the college of their choice.  Incomplete Applications is one of the #1 reasons students don't get into their dream school.

CHINA WANTS TO SEND STUDNTS TO THE US!

 We are back form the national convention that took place during the presidential debate on the University of Denver Campus this past week.. It was one of thSe most successful conventions of recent years.

The most notable point of the trip was how many high school principals, agents and others traveled from China to this convention to participate.  I was even impressed with some of these people coming to Denver and they could barely speak a word of English, yet they tried to communicate with the admissions officers of several school about their students.


There are many students right now applying to college, and I am sure they are measuring their ability to get into a school by those of their friends.  This is a huge myth students have.. students applying to colleges are really competiting for a spot against other students from around the world, and no one knows for sure where the chips will fall.  You may find that a student how has a 2.93 gets in and you with a 3.93 gets denied.  GRADES, SCORES, and EXTRA CURRICULAR are not the sole things colleges look at... they look at many many factors to make up a freshman class.

If you are applying to a college, watch this video by the Director of Admissions from Vanderbilt University.  I think he speaks not only for Vanderbilt but for most colleges across the U. S.  and it is a video students should take note of.

I know that a lot of parents and students feel that they can not afford a college consultant, but students need to be aware that many colleges want the money students have and take all the FREE money students are entitled to.. forcing some students to be left with no degree.  When you work with a college admissions consultant, you are working with a professional who can help you avoid the pitfalls and graduate on time maximizing your free financial aid, and gaining you a degree within four short years.

Listen to this admissions officer, and if you feel you need help. contact us. we offer a FREE 1/2 hour consultation.

2012 Admissions Decisions at The Top Universities Across Americas

As we are preparing to meet the Presdential Debate Activities in Denver,. Colorado later today on the eve before the National Association of College Admissions Consultants starts their annual convention,  we have found a New York Times article that outlines  the numbers of applications verses the number of acceptances of the class of 2012 to some of the Top Tier Schools across America.

While we endorse the idea that students should do your best and know there is a school for you out there, you will note that weather you are looking to a top tier Ivy League School or a California School,  the chances of getting in are on average, 1:6, and for UC Schools it can be as high as 1:13.

This why college choice is so very important.  If you know the schools you are applying to, and they define you,  there is a strong chance that admissions officers will see it, and offer you a letter of acceptance.

So. How does and can an Independent College Consultant help you?  They can help you with curriculum choices, give ideas for essays, or review an application to make sure you have not left anything out.  Additionally, because they attend Conventions like the one we are attending tomorrow, it allows them to not only keep us up to date on all the new changes through continuing educational classes, but it allows us to talk to many of the admissions officers from all over the country and learn what is going on in their respective communities.  It also gives us a chance to introduce the current students we are working with to these officers or  let them know  that we think we have  a great fit for their schools0 (admissions officers do listen).

If you are struggling with the preparation for, or are struggling with your applications, contact us for a FREE 1/2 Consultation on how we can help you or visit our website at www.thecollegeadmissionsconsultant.com

COLLEGE ESSAYS ARE NOT ENGLISH CLASS COMPOSITIONS

It is at this time of year as students who are applying to college are looking at the college essays for the first time. Some are in shock with how broad the questions are and have no idea about what to write about.

College Counselors and English Teachers will spend some time with the students and help you remember how to form a 3-point essay.  Your family and friends may be happy with what you write and cheer you on, but the one thing they all forget is who this essay is for.

College Admissions Officers are looking at your essay to get to know about you.  It is the only thing that is not scored. It is the only human part of your application.  The essay that you write for your college application is not the same as you would write for your high school english teacher.  It is different.  This is where students and families get stuck.

Admissions officers read thousands of essays each and every year. Their job is to create the next incoming class of freshman.  They are trying to create a common thread among a lot of diversity.
It is not necessarily always about grades, or scores, it is a combination of who you are that gets you a yes, no, or maybe that becomes waitlisted.

If you are struggling with your college applications, check out some of the videos we are posting on our site to help students get a sense of what college admissions officers are looking for.  Why some get in and others don't.
