Our Mission
 Students living abroad face a unique set of challenges when applying to American colleges. Many overseas schools provide current information on college admissions in the United States, while others are unaware of the stringent demands of the American college admissions system. In addition, some students deal with the difficulties of reversed school calendars, variations in curriculum and a lack of understanding of the college admissions timeline. Those students are often unaware of standardized test schedules, deadlines, application requirements and the importance of early preparation for successful college admissions. Students living abroad do not receive the barrage of media regarding increased applications, record low admissions rates and tough competition for very limited spots. Therefore, many expatriate and international students desiring to study in the United States fail to understand the highly competitive atmosphere and the importance of early planning for the college application.As a result of this highly selective environment, independent college consultants have grown tremendously in popularity in the United States. A college consultant provides a bridge between the student and the family to minimize the stress of the process and make sure that the student is on track. Even though many international schools provide highly qualified college advisors, some families seek the personalized services of an independent college consultant to provide their child with a competitive edge. Since high grade point averages and standardized test scores are no longer sufficient for admission to many colleges, students need guidance in setting themselves apart in the applicant pool. Parents recognize the tremendous advantage of involving an independent counselor to work closely with their child to develop an individual strategy, thereby increasing their chances of achieving personal goals in the college admissions process.
 College Consulting International provides personalized service and works to identify each student’s unique set of strengths. By mapping out an individual strategic plan, each student is able to best showcase their specific talents in their application. College Consulting International works with students and families so that they set realistic goals, understand the process, maximize their opportunities and avoid costly mistakes. Students who have experienced living overseas are very intriguing candidates for most colleges. These individuals tend to be more sophisticated, exhibit more tolerance, and have worldwide interests. Most students have been forever changed by their international experience. Therefore, it is important to know how to “package” the unique set of global life experiences that these students have encountered. Let College Consulting International provide you with the step by step guidance to create a winning formula for your future college success.
