EducationUSA Chile promotes higher education in the United States to chilean students and professionals:
These centers have a common goal: to help students and professionals access higher education opportunities in the United States.
EducationUSA Chile goes beyond one-on-one interactions and engages with thousands of students, parents, and professionals through our website, webinars, and social media platforms.
EducationUSA Chile advisors engage in speaking opportunities with first-year high school students, sophomores, and juniors. Additionally, EducationUSA Chile is frequently invited to participate in higher education fairs for high school seniors.
EducationUSA Chile promotes graduate studies at local university campuses and invites U.S. representatives from graduate programs to discuss application requirements and trends in their respective fields of study.
Chile is a high-income regional leader characterized by its political stability and transparency. Stretching 2,700 miles—the distance from New York to California—the country stands out as a top-tier destination in Latin America, driven by its economic freedom, advanced infrastructure, and a strong commitment to sustainability.

Chile saw a slight overall decline of –0.7% in the number of students enrolled in U.S. higher-education institutions during the 2024–25 academic year.
Despite this minor decline, Chile remains a stable and strategically important sending country in South America, continuing to show solid participation in degree programs and post-study work opportunities through OPT.
The requirements to apply to any local HEI are quantitative; the weighted score will determine the student’s acceptance into an institution’s major.
The weighted score is the sum of the percentages of the three factors, according to each university’s criteria for its different undergraduate programs: NEM (GPA) + PAES (Standardized
Test) + Ranking Score.
The high school graduation grade is obtained by averaging the grade point averages of each course and approximating this result to the second decimal place.
In Chile, 88% of students complete secondary education, above the EU average (86%) and the OECD (85%), and much higher than other countries in the region.
In 2026, enrollment in higher education reached the highest levels in its history.
The Total Enrollment in Chile in 2026 is 1,341,439 students, considering undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate
programs, which implies an increase of 3.0% over the previous year.
