📅 On Wednesday, August 20, 2025, from 14:00 to 15:00, and on Thursday, August 21, 2025, from 20:00 to 21:00, we are hosting an online presentation exclusively for parents of 9th- and 10th-grade students. In this session, we will share the strategies students need to start early and take the right steps in preparing for the study-abroad university application process.

Success in Overseas University Applications
Success in overseas university applications is not achieved only through last-minute efforts in the final year of high school. The real difference comes from the conscious steps taken early in high school. 9th and 10th grade are critical years for students to start building a strong profile both academically and personally. With the right planning during these years, students stand out far ahead of their peers in the application process.
What to Expect in This Presentation?
The Importance of Non-Academic Activities
Universities abroad look beyond grades. Participation in summer schools, internships or work experiences in different fields, and volunteering in community projects all play a key role in applications. Such activities demonstrate leadership, responsibility, and initiative.
Artistic, Sports, and Social Engagement
Being active in school clubs, consistently pursuing arts and sports, and engaging in extracurricular passions support well-rounded development. Universities value candidates who are dedicated and disciplined in their interests.
Academically Enriching Activities
AP courses and exams, certified online programs with international recognition, or courses that broaden knowledge and perspective all serve as strong indicators of academic readiness. These experiences show preparedness for the rigors of university-level study.
Language and Standardized Test Preparation
Tests such as IELTS, SAT, and PSAT are critical components of admissions. Properly timing these exams allows students to balance school workload and test preparation effectively.
Application Essays and Recommendation Letters
Personal statements and essays for universities in the US, Europe, or elsewhere should clearly express a student’s motivation, goals, and academic journey. Obtaining recommendation letters from the right people at the right time also strengthens the application.
Why Join Our Presentation?
At Unitedwords, we will present all these topics in a comprehensive online seminar designed specifically for the parents of 9th and 10th grade students.
🎯 Our goal is to help parents guide their children to prepare early and correctly for the overseas university journey.
