Students with the highest SAT scores in Europe

María Pérez de la Llave

CORNELL UNIVERSITY

I had classes with Ivy League Tutoring professors to get ready for the SAT. It was great to have scheduling flexibility and not to have to waste time commuting to class.

Moreover, I took advantage of my tutor’s tips and strategies to perform my best, both in class and in my English level.

Thanks to , I was able to score 1510, which was enough for me to gain admission to an Ivy League school such as Cornell University.

America vs Europe

USA

- 73 of the top 200 universities in the world.
- Four-year university programs, instead of three-year.
- Four-year scholarships are in the form of grants (not loans); therefore, students need not pay back awarded funds. Scholarships apply to studies, lodging, and meals.
- Guaranteed work permit (3 years work permit as of now, according to the new Georgetown Appeal).
- ROI (Return on Investment): one of the wisest investments that families can make for the future of their children given that they can reap returns during the three-year work permit period after they complete university.
- Much higher salaries after graduating than in the UK.
- Many more possibilities to pursue a post-graduate degree at one of the world’s leading universities after completing your undergraduate career than if you graduated from a UK-based university.
- Once a student has obtained a master's degree in the US, she is eligible for an extended work permit if her graduate study is in a STEM field.

There are no longer any available scholarships or loans for European students due to Brexit. Therefore, it is much more expensive to study in the UK than in the US.
Three-year university programs, instead of four-year
It is more difficult to gain admission to a world-renowned graduate school in the US from a UK university than it is from a US university given that leading US graduate schools generally give priority to students (both American and international) who have graduated from leading US universities
The UK has 28 of the top 200 universities in the world, compared to 73 in the US.
Graduates of UK universities receive, on average, much lower salaries upon graduating than do graduates of US universities.
It is difficult to obtain work permits in the UK due to Brexit.
