Your child’s education is one of the most important investments you will make in your lifetime. Gaining admission to the right college can determine your child’s future success.  You have to get it right!

American colleges vary widely on application deadlines,academic standards,  formats, standardized test requirements, extracurricular involvement, number of essays, community service, letters of recommendation, available financial aid and interview demands.  In this often complex and confusing process, any missteps can result in qualified students being rejected.

Expatriate and international students attending  worldwide schools without knowledgeable counselors are placed at a distinct disadvantage. As a result, these families are unaware of appropriate timelines,  standardized test dates, critical deadlines and the  need for advanced planning. However, even students with access to U.S. guidance counselors can benefit from the individualized focus and time commitment of an independent consultant.  

Most parents lack the time and expertise to properly coach their children through the college admissions process. Involving an independent consultant alleviates much of the stress, makes the student more accountable, and avoids the conflict that is created when parents try to manage the early planning and eventual submission of the college application.  Working with an independent college consultant that understands the demands of the American college system and the challenges of living abroad gives the student a competitive edge.
