College admissions in the United States

California will ban private colleges and universities, including some of the nation's most selective institutions, from giving special consideration to applicants who have family or other connections to the schools, a practice known as legacy admissions.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation Monday that will prohibit the practice starting in the fall of 2025.

Each year, millions of young people from all around the world are getting ready for another year in college. In Bulgaria alone, 229.5 thousands of students enrolled in higher education for various degrees in the 2018/2019 academic year. Over 10 thousands students from Bulgaria apply to study abroad on a yearly basis. Most of them target European universities.
