2026 International ACAC Conference Session Proposal Form

The school profile is an essential and mandatory piece of U.S. university applications, but it’s often misunderstood, overlooked or unhelpful. We, however, believe there is great power in a profile and how it can serve as a bridge between schools and university admissions: it can advocate, explain context, and assist universities in their review. In this refreshingly honest session, school-based counsellors share recent changes they’ve made (and why), with real-time insight from university representatives into how the document is actually used. Expect practical takeaways for both counsellors and admissions representatives, along with a no-nonsense look at what works, what gets overlooked and how to help your profile bridge the gap.
