On Tuesday, October 27, from 6pm, the Fulbright Educational Advising Center-EducationUSA hosted a special live webinar seminar titled “Who Gets In and Why? Learn about how to improve your application to U.S. higher education institutions and how to choose the university that's right for you”, offered by Meghan Dangremond, admissions officer at Tufts University, in conference with EducationUSA REAC Cheryl Francisconi.

The in-center audience included members of our very own Competitive College Club, as well as first-time visitors keen to learn more about the path to studying in the U.S. Potential applicants could also log in from anywhere else to watch the event online.

Meghan delivered an engaging and highly informative presentation, painting a vivid picture of life at Tufts, as well as providing useful tips on school selection, what counts as a “good fit” school, and building a strong application.

The presentation closed with a Q&A session, in which Meghan kindly provided more in-depth information on early admission, financial aid and letters of recommendation, among other things.

We were delighted Cheryl Francisconi, who happens to be on a three-day visit to Bucharest, also took the time to meet the high schoolers present at FEAC-EducationUSA for the webinar, kindly answering their questions and encouraging them to take advantage of the resources awaiting them here.
