Specialized Expertise for International Students
While the United States has one of the most coveted systems of higher education in the world, it is also vast (with over 2,700 four year institutions), and varied (with colleges that are large, small, public, private, religious, women-only, liberal-arts, professional and technical). Admission policies across U.S. schools can be particularly complex for international students.
Individualized Service
Each International College Counselor’s service begins with a comprehensive discussion with the parent(s) and child, a review of applicable academic and test records, and dialogue about the family's profile and circumstances. With this, the consultant will better understand your child’s and your family’s values, priorities, and preferences, as well as your child’s strengths, needs, and learning style. Students and families receive a personal international college counselor taking them through the entire admission process.

U.S. Citizens Living in Foreign Countries
