[quote=Anonymous]I have family who educated their children overseas and sent them back to the US for college. What I observed was that their international school did not provide sound advice for applying to US colleges - they leaned too heavily on the idea of schools being test optional and despite one of the kids being a very strong student, dissuaded him from taking the SAT, while not helping him create a balanced list of schools to apply to. He ended up applying to all highly rejective schools and didn’t get in anywhere, which I was worried about, but ultimately still shocked by, because he was such an impressive student. I’d recommend an early meeting with the school’s college counselor to assess their history with, and understanding of, US schools and the application process. Internationally educated US citizens likely face some unique hurdles and it sounded like the guidance my family member received when abroad was weak.[/quote]
