The Koppelman Group is dedicated to the success of its students.
“I couldn’t have imagined going through the college process without the assistance and guidance provided by the Koppelman Group. Caroline ensured that we understood every aspect of applications, and helped us to destress at a time when we could have been extremely overwhelmed. Throughout our time together, Caroline was always gracious with her advice, knowledgeable about the process itself, and willing and able to make sense of what seemed like utter chaos. I highly recommend the services of the Koppelman group.”

They’re most known for the Columbia Core, which means students who want a true liberal arts education are probably drawn to this school like moths to a flame. But if you’re here, you’re not just drawn to the academics or culture or location, you’re drawn to it because you have a personal connection to the school.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or MIT, is one of the most respected engineering, science, and technology universities in the world. It is also one of the hardest to get into. For international students considering MIT, we highly recommend pursuing a proven strategy early. Every year we help international students get into outstanding schools, including MIT.

Brown University, located in Providence, Rhode Island, is one of the eight Ivy League schools and the 7th oldest institution of higher education in the US. They’re known for having a totally open curriculum – that’s right – no core classes. Brown is perfect for students who have a variety of interests or an interesting intersection of interests and want a place to explore those interests freely. But, if you’re here, you probably knew all this, because one (or both!) of your parents went to Brown and now you want to go to Brown too.
As an international perspective applicant, Dartmouth is a bit of a black box. It’s an Ivy League, and one of the hardest colleges to get into in the United States, but they don’t share much data about the details. While some other Ivies breakdown their admissions data to give applicants insight into the odds, Dartmouth doesn’t. In this post, we’ll demystify Dartmouth and give international applicants the tools they need to stand out for admissions. First, though, let’s talk about what statistics are available.
Demonstrated interest is when schools keep track of, and take into consideration, your level of interest in their school. Whenever you demonstrate interest, like through a tour, emailing your admissions officer, or signing up for an email, schools can track that! However, not all schools do care about demonstrated interest. Today, we’re going to talk about some of the top colleges that don’t take demonstrated interest into consideration.
Cornell is a famed Ivy League research university in Ithaca, New York. The university is large, with over 16,000 undergraduates, and it is divided up into 8 smaller colleges that each provide their own unique experience and community. One of the unique aspects of Cornell, especially when compared to other top tier colleges, is the range of programs offered at the undergraduate level, including programs, like hospitality and agriculture, that don’t appear anywhere else in the Ivy League. Cornell is, subsequently, very difficult to get into. Students who want Cornell truly want the experience they offer, and there are far more students who want that experience than they can accept. The overall acceptance rate for first-years who enrolled in the fall of 2024, across all 8 colleges, was 8.4%.
