US UNIVERSITY APPLICATION TIMELINE

CommonApps Applications

Applicants can apply to as many colleges as they want. However, they will have to submit a compelling supplementary essay for every college. The essay has to be written for a specific university and course of study. QC will advise applicants on the appropriate college selection and assist in the personal statement brainstorming and editing.

SAT 1 and 2s are accepted by most universities and reflect the student’s command of the English language, maths and other subjects. SATs are however being phased out by APs (Advanced Placements). APs require more preparation from schools and the exams are during May/June.

OUR SUCCESSFUL MENTEES

Si Hyuk applied Columbia as his Early Decision choice, with a predicted IB score of 44. He approached QC for help on his personal statements and college selections. He was initially wait listed and we worked to enhance the applications over two months to improve chances of acceptance. This included organising a well planned service trip and taking up two professional Java courses to craft a compelling university application.

Cheng studied at a local public school in Liaoning, Shenyang. He attempted the SAT three times, scoring a 1420 on his final attempt. Uncertain of his writing abilities, he approached QC for a six school application to pursue Computer Sciences in America. With four mentors onboard, we worked through two months to brainstorm and put up a convincing application for him to qualify for the likes of New York University.
