Admissions plan

How we run an application.

You can see what is finished, what is waiting and what is due next.

  1. 01

    Bring us the facts

    We start with your transcript, budget, subjects and current university list.

  2. 02

    Build the college list

    Each college comes with deadlines, testing, aid forms and a reason for applying. Plan A and Plan B sit on the same page.

  3. 03

    Write and submit

    You keep studying. We run the portals, edit the writing and check each file before it goes.

  4. 04

    Choose the offer

    We compare the final options, including scholarships and private loan routes if the family needs them.

  5. 05

    Land the place

    Visa or residence papers, housing, insurance, city registration and how you get there.

  6. 06

    After you land

    We stay reachable once term starts. A late document, a housing problem, a course change.

What you leave with

A one-page plan after the first meeting.

This is a sample. Yours uses your transcript, testing, budget and dates.
