2026 International ACAC Conference Session Proposal Form

International students today are navigating more choices than ever, from a wider range of destination countries to more application pathways and credentials, changing how and where they apply to college. In this session, College Board, the Institute of International Education, and Common App bring together their data to show what current mobility and application patterns look like, alongside a U.S. university admissions leader who will share how institutions are responding on the ground. Panelists will explore how students decide where to apply, how many institutions to consider, and how they present their academic profiles in a crowded and competitive global environment. The session will help admissions and enrollment professionals better understand these shifts and consider how to adapt recruitment and admissions strategies in response.
