Question from Ted

What are some of the best ways to apply to an American university; let's say: NYU or UCLA; from another country outside of the United States?


1) Research the school you would like to go thoroughly; Eg. Statistics on International applicants and attending students, GPA or Required Standardized Exams, such as the SAT I, Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) exams

2) Do exceptionally well on all of your standardized exams (>2000 on SAT, >30 on your IB or >3 on your AP exams)

3) If your grades are not strong enough, try to make some good connection with a personnel from your desired school

4) If you have a talent in some sports or other things, make sure you bring this up on your application; this will help make you stand out against your fellow international or American peers that can help you gain admission

Hope this helps. Good Luck on your search and your application process. Keep us updated on your progress!
