FAQ's

When should students in New Zealand begin the application process?

Applying to schools in the United States and the United Kingdom as an international student can be a lengthy process. While we recommend working on your application at least three months before deadlines, we acknowledge that it may take many students more time to produce a polished product.

Keep in mind that applying to schools abroad means learning more about admissions requirements, completing all application documents, engaging recommenders, writing detailed essays, and more. A stellar US or UK university application isn’t built in a day!

Can New Zealanders apply to Oxbridge?

Students in New Zealand can apply to Cambridge and Oxford Unversity but can only submit applications to one or the other. Choosing the right schools can be difficult, but your counselor can help you determine which UK universities meet your educational and professional goals best.
