Learn How to Get into a Top University

By Ross Jennings, April 20, 2020

About the Course

According to most polls, just under half of the top 100 universities in the world are in the United States and Canada. Over one million international students attend US colleges and universities, and many more go to Canada for higher education. Getting into top universities, however, is not easy. The purpose of this course is to help students get into the best university they can and succeed once at the university.

This course will be particularly useful for students planning to transfer to a US or Canadian university from a two-year college like Green River College near Seattle, Washington.
