The Workshop

The session covers the differences between the UK and US education systems, including expectations around extracurricular life and residential practicalities. Terminology is explained, such as liberal arts curriculum, core curriculum, major, and electives. We cover the differences between Liberal Arts Colleges vs. Private Universities vs. State Universities and highlight the best options to consider.

By providing a best-practice timeline and an overview of the components of the application process, we offer tips for completing the various sections. We explain the Activities List and why it matters, the best approach to the CommonApp Personal Statement, and the role of Supplemental Essays.

This workshop helps students understand the US system of standardised testing and why test scores matter. We go into detail about why a student would decide to sit the SAT or ACT and how they should prepare. We share a selection of our tried-and-tested techniques and exercises from the A-List Book of Knowledge which is used on our SAT and ACT preparation courses.

Students will learn about the costs involved in attending a US university and the scholarship / financial aid opportunities available to them. We also explain the process of athletic recruitment and the timelines involved.
