Carlos Granados Martínez from Spain - University of Virginia (Business)I am very satisfied with how much I have learned during the IB Diploma programme and also extremely pleased with the nomination as Student of the Year. Because of the multicultural environment at EF International Academy, I am more mature and responsible compared to the time that I started. I am thankful to all the faculty and staff that helped me gain acceptance into University of Virginia.



Georgina Feyyi from Nigeria - University of Leicester (Medicine)The help from my EF teachers has just been amazing they’ve been there every step of the way, right from the beginning from when I came here, applying, registering in UCAS and then to the very last point when you send you application to the university. The support is incredible; I couldn’t have made it so far without their help. 
Kristian Tveit Diskerud from Norway - London School of Economics (Law)The teachers at EF are excellent and qualified. They spend a lot of time helping with classwork and assignments. My tutor worked closely with me composing my university applications 

including my personal statement.

Zhi-Chang Joo Hoo from Chile - University of California, Los Angeles (Business) These two years at EF have helped me get into UCLA, a top ranked ranked American university. Aside from the academics, EF International Academy is a nice place to study because there are many international students here and you get to know cultures from all over the world. This will help me better understand my subject of study, International Business Management.
