Preparing for U.S. Admissions: Alumni Panel Q&A

Join EducationUSA and EducationUSA alumni to get your questions about the U.S. admissions process answered from a Canadian student perspective.
The panel addresses questions like:
How did you create your list of U.S. universities? What recommendations do you have for a student who is in the search process?
What kind of extracurriculars were you a part of? How did that translate to your application?
What was the essay writing process like? What did you write about?
Did you take the SAT/ACT? Did you choose to submit scores?
How did you choose the university that you are going to?
As you reflect back on the process, what advice do you have for students applying right now?
