<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I'm an American (female from New England, at boarding school) considering- among U.S. schools- some European universities (in Ireland, Scotland, England and maybe France.)</p>
<p>Do any of you have any information about/insight into the experience of American students at European universities, the application process, anything related? Or know where to get more information?</p>
<p>Thanks so much!!! I'm sure there are lots of people wondering about this :)</p>

<p>It varies from country to country or even from school to school...What exactly do you want to know?</p>
<p>Two factors that you should be aware of come to my mind:</p>
<p>-ECs etc. are usually not an admission factor. at most schools it will come down to your grades, scores (esp. AP/IB) and perhaps the interview. </p>
<p>-You declare your major by the time you apply and have to stick with it until you graduate. Also, it's almost impossible to take courses outside your departement, i think (-> not really a liberal arts education)</p>
<p>what major are you interested in?</p>
<p>Google is a good place to start. If you have any specific questions that Google cannot help you with, we would be happy to help you.</p>
