US University Application Workshop with a Stanford FAO

An Exclusive Crimson Education Webinar
Wednesday 31st March 6:30pm to 8pm (UK time)

Four key reasons for choosing the US

Flexible curriculum

The liberal arts curriculum allows students to take classes in multiple fields of study and they don't need to choose their major until their second year ensuring more decision time.

Graduate salaries

Salaries for US university graduates tend to be much higher than those in the UK. For example, Princeton graduates earn an average of $90,700 (£66,490) whereas the average salary of an Oxford Business graduate is £41,500.

Extracurricular opportunities

US universities have thousands of societies and clubs for students to be a part of and enrich their college experience. Many universities compete in national and international sporting competitions like the Olympics. For example, Stanford has won 270 Olympic medals!

Faculty exposure

Most top US universities have a strong undergraduate focus and therefore students get 1-1 time with their professors that in the UK are reserved for post-graduate students.

Yale

Meet a Successful Crimson Student!

London-born student Bluebelle had always wanted to study in the US, and decided to apply to Yale after researching the many courses on offer. With support from Crimson, she applied successfully, and hopes to take full advantage of the variety on offer through the liberal arts curriculum!

“My essay mentor Alan was amazing. Prior to me actually choosing potential topics and writing them down, Alan had loads of meetings with me online, where we discussed all my extracurriculars, life experience and a never-ending stream of other topics before deciding what my essays should be."
