It can be really hard to fill out your international student application. It can also be difficult to come up with the money to attend a top US college. This is why many of the international students who attend US colleges come from wealthy families.
If you want to be accepted at an Ivy League school, you will need more than money. You will need an impressive application. By following these four tips, designed specifically for international students, you will be able to get your foot in the door.
These tips are equally effective for all international students.
1) Do your very best on your standardized test scores. Your SAT is most important, but don't neglect your IELTS, TOEFL, and SAT II.

2) Be sure to put your best foot forward. Show your best ability. Colleges are interested in having a well-rounded student body, but they want it to be made up of students who are super-stars at their own individual skills. Be sure to show off you specialty.
Play up your academic strengths, and don't put too much weight on your extracurricular activities. The reason for this is that, as an international student, your extracurricular achievements will be hard to compare with those of other potential students.

3) Have your essays proofread and edited by a native English speaker. Take care not to have them over-edited so that they seem to have been written by someone else. Just have a native English speaker with a good command of the language look your essays over for spelling, grammatical, and syntax errors. It is OK to have one or two mistakes, but you don't want your essay to be filled with errors.
4) Show your interest in the school by including contacts you have had with students and information about any friends or relative you may have who have graduated from the school. Of course, it would be unlikely for you to be able to make physical visits to the campus, but virtual visits online and through e friends are the next best thing.
If you will pay close attention to following these four tips, you can be sure your application will stand out favorably. Best of luck to you!
