01 — How we work

Three phases. One advisor throughout.

No hand-offs to junior staff, no templates. The advisor who runs your diagnostic is the one who reads your final submission.

01

Diagnostic

A 60-minute review of transcript, course rigor, testing, and activities. You leave with a candid read on where you stand and a target list that fits.

OutputWritten assessment and target list
02

Positioning

We build the case for you: the research or project that anchors your profile, the essays that carry it, and the recommendations that confirm it.

OutputEssay set, activity list, recommendation plan
03

Application

Every submission checked line by line, interviews rehearsed, and visa paperwork handled through to enrollment.

OutputSubmitted applications, interview preparation, visa filing
02 — The cycle

05 — Common questions

Before you write to us.

When should we start?

Ideally by 10th grade, which leaves time to build a research project and a coherent activity record. Transfer Advisory needs three to six months; the Essay Program runs four to eight weeks.

Who actually works with my student?

One senior advisor, start to finish. Advisors are former admissions readers, doctoral-level research mentors, and transfer and visa specialists. Each carries no more than eight students at a time.

Do you handle the visa?

Yes. US F-1, Canadian study permit, and Hong Kong and Singapore student visas, including financial documentation and interview preparation.

How do we begin?

Email us the student's current grade, a transcript summary, and any target universities. A senior advisor replies within one business day to schedule the diagnostic.
