Applying to US/UK universities from Australia? (1 Viewer)

[AussieGlobal]

Hey everyone,

I’m Todd - I grew up and graduated high school in Australia, then studied my undergrad in the US at the University of Pennsylvania and later completed my MBA at Cambridge in the UK. I’m now back in Australia and work with students who are interested in applying to universities in the US and UK.

When I was in Year 12, I found the overseas application process pretty confusing: SAT vs ACT, Common App vs UCAS, timelines that don’t line up with ATAR, etc. If anyone here is curious about overseas uni options, wants to know how the process works, or just wants an honest take on whether it’s worth it, feel free to drop questions in this thread and I’ll do my best to help out.

What are you doing now?

Hey @HazzRat , thanks for asking. I’m back in Australia and have recently started Ed Carpet, an education firm that helps Australian students and families with US and UK university applications. Most of my time is spent talking to students and parents about whether overseas study is right for them and guiding them through the application process.
