Hermiona is on the road — again! Increasingly, people from around the world are interested in learning about how to gain admission to top American summer programs, boarding schools, and universities, and we are excited to offer our expert advice. American universities represent eight of the top ten universities in the world, and their graduates include world leaders, Nobel Prize laureates, and dozens of leaders in fields ranging from computer science to literature. The graduates of top American schools and universities include Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon.com, Google chairman Eric Schmidt, former US President Barack Obama, and current Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu. Last year, you might have seen us in Moscow and Kiev leading workshops on these topics, but this year, you’ll have even more opportunities to interact and learn with us. We’ll be answering many of your burning questions, such as the following:
What makes the American education system so unique — and why is it so valuable to be a part of it?
When should you start preparing to apply?
Why are American summer programs important? And which are the ones to pay attention to?
How do you make yourself stand out from the pack?
What kind of achievements (in sports, music, etc.) will enhance your application?
How do you win scholarships and finance your education abroad?
Now, who are our experts and why should you be listening to them?
