Starting Feb 1st and continuing each week until May, I will present on University Admissions. Each week I will go in depth on different countries or on different topics.

Resource of the Week
Research Universities Database
This database is full of up-to-date websites that can help you start your research into universities from over 15 countries. Most of them are search engines where you put in a major or course you want to study as well as other things you are looking for in a university and it will provide you with a starting list of universities you can then begin to research deeper.
I use this all the time when researching universties because it contains the best and most up to date tools that help to speed up the process.

SAT
Did you know that the SAT test is now all digital? Did you also know that for current juniors, many universities that have required the SAT in the past, will not require it for you? To see the latest on which universities are test optional, click here.
I would advise students who plan to apply to universities in the USA still take the SAT, just in case you eventually apply to a university that requires SAT scores. For juniors, you should take the test once or twice your junior year and possibly a third time your senior year.
