Students in our Ivy League Preparation Programme this year recently spent a week visiting HarvardMITColumbia and Princeton in America.

At each university they learned directly from admissions officers what each had to offer them as students; from the programme of study, extra-curricular offer, to the admissions process, every aspect of studying in the United States was covered. Tours with current students around the campus followed, where the view from those studying at each university was sought. Each campus was as unique as they were stunning to the eye, all with state of the art facilities you’d expect from these world class universities.

It also allowed NCS students to follow in the footsteps of famous alumni such as Buzz Aldren, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Mark Zuckerberg and Richard Feynman. In Princeton there was even time to stand where Albert Einstein once lectured in Lecture Room 302.

The trip stopped in Boston and New York where our students met our alumni to learn directly about their experience in studying at the Ivy League universities and how they successfully made competitive applications to study in the USA.

Students also had a chance to learn more about America with visits to the Boston Freedom Trail, The Museum of Science, The Empire State Building and an evening of culture by going to watch Hamilton on Broadway.

As well as learning about how American universities differ from those in the UK, NCS students followed in the footsteps
