Ask people who have reviewed university applications.
At many US universities, trained staff (Admissions Officers) read each application and help decide which students are accepted. Daniel (former Associate Director of Undergraduate Admissions, Stanford University), Christian (former Associate Director of Undergraduate Admissions, Stanford University), and Betzael (Tec de Monterrey, Kellogg MBA, Harvard University MPH) will share insights on how to elevate your application for admission to the top US universities.
Start with your questions.
What do universities look for besides grades?
Ask what helps a reviewer understand your interests, achievements and potential.
What is different for international students?
Ask how the process works when you apply from outside the United States.
How can you show who you are?
Ask how essays and activities can show the person behind the grades.
