Every year, hundreds of thousands of international students and their families go through the painstaking, complicated, and often confusing process that is US university admissions. In 2015/16, more than one million international students studied in the U.S.
Written by Jennifer Ann Aquino, an experienced international educator and counsellor, The International Family Guide to US University Admissions is aimed at the vast and increasing number of international students applying for places at US Universities each year, and their families, and provides the first single resource for readers to turn to for complete, accurate and up-to-date advice on the subject.
