SUMMARY:(Online) Understanding the American University Application Process (ages 14–adult)
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the American University Application Process\n\nwith College Goals\nFor teens ages 14+ and their guardians\n \n  \n\n\nGiven the demands of the American university application process\, students interested in pursuing higher education in the US are well advised to begin preparing early in their high school career\, before they embark on their final two years of study toward the French bac or IB. What do families need to know for their students to be successful and satisfied by the university search and application process? How do students produce a strong and interesting US university application?

The team of counselors collectively offers decades of professional experience in higher education. College Goals provides expert counsel and support throughout the college search and application process\, including choice of appropriate institutions\, test requirements\, recommendations and interviews\, essay writing\, and the preparation of distinguished applications.
