Bespoke US Admissions Support

“Getting a place at an Ivy League requires a unique strategic approach”

Applying to US universities is complex, with unique requirements that go beyond academic achievement. Unlike UK applications, US admissions emphasise a holistic approach, where extracurriculars, essays, and character matter just as much as grades. At Enjoy Education, we offer bespoke support at every step, from selecting the right universities to building a well-rounded profile that showcases your strengths. With strong connections to top US institutions, including Ivy League schools, we create a targeted plan to help your child stand out in the competitive admissions process.

Frequently asked questions

When should we start the process?

Starting in Year 10 is ideal, allowing for thorough preparation without rushing. Although Year 12 can work, balancing applications and test prep with ongoing studies can be challenging. Applications are typically due by January 1st in the year of entry.

Should I take the SAT or ACT?

Both are accepted, but requirements vary by school. The SAT emphasises vocabulary and has a multi-section format, while the ACT includes science reasoning and advanced math, with a single-section approach. Consider the specific requirements of each university.

What is the Common Application?

The Common Application is a centralised form used to apply to multiple US universities. It requires transcripts, parent/guardian information, extracurricular activities, and standardised test scores. Some schools may also request additional essays or information.

How important are extracurricular activities?

Extracurriculars are crucial in US admissions. Universities seek well-rounded applicants who demonstrate leadership, passion, and commitment outside of academics.

What financial aid and scholarship options are available for US universities?

US universities offer a range of scholarships, including merit-based, athletic, and need-based options. Many top schools, including Ivy League institutions, provide need-blind admissions, meaning financial aid decisions are separate from admissions decisions. Merit scholarships reward academic excellence, while athletic scholarships are available for standout athletes. Additionally, external scholarships and grants are available through organisations and foundations. Early research is key to understanding the eligibility criteria and application deadlines for each type of aid.
