When applying to US colleges and universities, international students often face lower admission rates than their US counterparts. In this video, I discuss why many colleges show preference to US applicants as well as some of the typical ways that international applicants may put themselves, unknowingly, at a disadvantage in the application process.

    I am a low income student from Argentina and I got into Northwestern University ED for the class of 2024 with full aid ✨ I am really happy
  • @keepingcool7510
    International student waiting for decisions clicked as fast as possible.
  • @HH-lr2zt
    I'm from the United States so I'm not sure why I'm here. I believe in you guys!
  • 1.- Money 2.- Cultural divide 3.- Lost in translation 4.- Lack of extracurricular activities
  • @thelautiser
    As an international student, i think that the fact we want to go to study to another country and go through so many stages and procedures to acchieve the requirements I think that shows how much does it mean to us to get quality education.
  • @brunobrak417
    so in a nutshell: If you're international and you are trying to get into US uni you either have to be a) bloody wealthy (come on, 70k/year tuition is ridiculous) b) be a PERFECT applicant with superb scores So most of us don't really have a chance.
  • @user-cn8ie5cv9j
    i think when it comes to extracurriculars the system is unfair to other countries. As a spanish person, we don't have the culture that the us has, of doing 3 sports a year, going to a bunch of clubs, being the president of those, getting super involved in the school, etc. There's not a possibility of doing that based on how society works here, so there's no way for us to put that in our admissions
  • @tanyamalik8668
    When she said most of the countries like India only care about grades and often ignore extracurricular. I was like yea! I mean I was taught just to focus on studies for my whole life and now when I'm seeing how can I achieve my dream, they are like : all you did is study. You can't get in,we need something more Like what do you expect me to do now?cry?😂
  • I am an International student in my first year of college and I used to be afraid that I wouldn't get admitted. Honest truth is believe in yourself. Do your research. Find the right school for you, it'll work out in the end.
  • @gabem.5242
    Extra-curricular activities are just a fluffy way to say "What the hell are you doing when school is out?" to which international students answer "Why do you care? Just get me in: I'm here to learn and not to play football like most of your top class students".
  • @ahanaaa2704
    i get it. i'm a broke international applicant from an over represented Asian country so i won't get into any of the colleges. cool. cool. cool. i'm obviously not having a mental breakdown right now. cool. P.S. Got into my dream college and i just wanna say don't lose hope guys. We got this!
  • @io5023
    I live in Eastern Europe... there’s no way I can afford to pay full tuition to an american uni :/
  • Do u think u can make a video about scholarships for international students?
  • I’m also from the US and have no idea why I’m watching this, I hope all you kids wanting to go to College here, hope you get in!
  • Fun fact: I was in a MIT workshop here in Brazil where the teachers were all MIT students sent by the MIT Brazil program. There were six alumni and only one of them was American, sadly none of the were Brazilian too.
  • @raulantunez4228
    Honestly, these videos should be watched as a 9th grade student. I started watching them as a senior but it’s simply too late. And as an international student, I wasn’t worried about college until recently.
  • @jamesm.6471
    i’m not an international student and i already applied to all my schools why am i watching this
