3 E3 ^$ U% x& a/ lThe purpose of my trip to China in October is to educate students about a university education in the United States and specifically to interest them in Tufts.

/ `) Z: M! ?1 I4. Will a Chinese applicant with an overseas background have any advantage over other Chinese applicants?

9 I$ }$ y- B: G& z" lBelieve it or not, we don’t really compare applicants like that. We look at students within the context of their school groups generally. If a student who has only lived in China is truly fluent in English, that is a tremendous advantage in general.

5. Chinese students sometimes lack a clear understanding of which US colleges suit them best. Do you have any advice on how they should go about selecting colleges?
* g. h% m& s. }0 o7 \& P# W/ M  |
Read the guides such as Petersons, Fiske, Princeton Review. Look at individual websites for the colleges and universities. Come to the college presentations when they visit China. Don’t just look for the “name” schools; think outside the box. A university that you might not have heard of might be the best match for you!
