American dream: Advice from Wetherby Senior for USA college applicants
Sixth formers are increasingly looking across the Atlantic for college opportunities. Wetherby Senior in London offers advice to those wishing to apply to a US college
The lure of world-leading universities in the USA means more young people are applying to study stateside. However, the US college admissions process is more holistic than the UK?s, meaning personal and bespoke advice, along with tailored guidance, is needed to support ambitions to study across the pond.
Since opening in Marylebone in 2017, Wetherby Senior School?s Sixth Form has received over 30 offers for its sixth formers to study in the USA. These include Georgetown University, UCSD, University of Chicago, UCLA and a D1 Football Scholarship to the University of Akron. In March, the school?s 2022 applicants had already received early decision offers from NYU, UPenn, Babson, Northeastern and Notre Dame. The attraction of studying in the USA is clear, as Dena Deedat, head of sixth form, explains: ?Studying abroad is always very appealing to our sixth formers, providing an opportunity to enjoy a different culture and way of life first-hand.Â
?In addition, the American education system typically offers the opportunity to explore a wider range of subjects at undergraduate level before you declare your major. This can be particularly attractive to our students who enjoy studying a broader range of topics before specialising.? Â
