Aussies Unite! part 2

Student Lounge International Students

Hi everyone,

Just thought that we can make a discussion thread for Aussie applicants to US colleges here so that we can help each other out as much as possible (as we know, the resources available in Australia regarding college admissions are extremely scarce). Please leave a comment below and we can get this thread going!

Here are discussion threads from past applicants from Australia (make sure you check some of their profiles- these geniuses have made it into schools like Harvard, Duke, Penn, Columbia etc.) and include valuable information for us.

Just a bit about myself:
I’m applying to Penn’s Wharton Business School ED in 2016, so I’ll be on CC up until early 2017 regardless if I get in or not. I’m also applying RD to most of the Ivies, Amherst College, Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley etc. (you get the idea). If there’s anything common between us, feel free to discuss!
