About the Course

“It depends.” That is what you’ll hear when asking about the U.S. university admission process. With over 4,000 universities in the United
States and no standard application system, the U.S. admission process can be confusing for everyone, but especially for students applying from

The course gives useful guidelines towards the really complicated task of Applying to US universities.Sharing the intuition behind the various pieces of the application process really helped me align my thought process towards the expectations of various universities.Self-assessment on behalf of the students is equally important to make sure they go to the college which is the right fit for them.

Overall it's a great course :)

Brilliant course. I found all the answers about the application process to US universities. The only thing which I did not like is that this course does not give certificate.

It's good. If it can refer to more practical tools, it would be perfect.

A good course for anybody who want to know about the process, time, etc of apply to a U.S University, I am so excited of finishing this course.

More than I expected and I had not finished yet because of the lot of videos (like 4 hours) that are on the work

Thanks Coursera and the PENN of giving us this opportunity of improve our knowledge.(:

Good course with good information, but it would be much better if it covered financial aid options more deeply.
