• In the United States, universities look for complete students. In this country, things like volunteering, extracurricular, leadership activities, and personal life matter.

​​

• In one TEDx Talk, an expert in the field of college applications, Alex Chang, says that “if you just look at SAT, GPA, or ACT this is not really a reliable indicator of where you will end up in (…) what colleges really want is awesome people and awesome people have awesome qualities.” This means that universities look for students for not only their scores but also for who they are and what they can do.

​​

• Since this is such an important process, there are people that can help with this, almost every university has an email to contact somebody that can help with questions related to the application process.
