Title: Supporting International High School Students in the College Admission Process
Date: August 15, 2017
Time: 2:00 p.m. EDT
Cost: Free
Audience: Secondary school/college counseling professionals and postsecondary admission professionals
Description: One of the most significant reasons that international students choose to pursue secondary education in the US is the perception that it will increase their chances of admission to top American colleges. With the growth of international students in US high schools, and their transition from these schools to American colleges and universities, admission and counseling professionals are experiencing new challenges. Join NACAC and WES as they launch the results of recent research, sharing valuable insight into challenges with foreign credential evaluation, negotiating language and cultural divides related to the college counseling process, and supporting these students once on campus. You will also learn from experienced practitioners—a counselor and international admission director--who have worked closely advising, recruiting, and enrolling international students.
