Our Consultants

College admissions are intricate and involved processes, and our consultants are here to help. We have helped candidates secure admissions to their dream schools, including Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Cornell, Yale, Princeton, Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, UCL, King’s College, and other top universitites.

Our consultants know college admissions inside and out. In fact, they themselves have earned their degrees from some of the world’s top universities, and many of them have advanced degrees.
