University Admissions Support
We proudly host a wide network of current students and recent graduates across top higher education institutions globally as part of our base of mentors. Having successfully cleared notoriously challenging admissions processes, our university admissions mentors are uniquely placed to advise to students across a range of academic domains.
Our mentors provide end-to-end support to our students throughout the university applications process, from personal statement drafting to online application portals and follow-up interview processes.

Each student is partnered with one or more mentors throughout the admissions process, acting as an advisor, consultant and confidant for such a critical decision in one's academic journey. From supporting students in writing personal statements to the interview process for university admissions, having been in the shoes of current applicants, we provide end-to-end support through our wide network of mentors.

Course Domain and University Choices Evaluation
​
Deciding on which course to pursue at university and shortlisting universities to apply to is a highly important decision in any student's journey. The academic domain pursued, and the institution it is done at, can play a huge bearing on the student's future career ambitions.
​​
Appreciating the gravitas of this decision, we provide extensive consultative advice and mentorship to students to help them better understand the merits of studying different academic domains, based on their inherent interest, past exam results, future career prospects and the relative appreciation of said course in the job market. We partner our students across a base of recent graduates and current students, at top higher education institutions, who are pursuing subjects of the students interest to better understand and raise questions. This helps the students informally bounce ideas and gain an informed and practical view on the "state of the world" with regards to university opportunities.
​​
Post the decision of the academic domain (course) to pursue, we supports our students in conducting research of the most prestigious and relevant higher education institutions which are well respected globally and have strong teaching departments for said course. We compare university rankings, consider general opinions towards the university, particularly by employers and analyse departments and professor backgrounds.

Personal Statement Drafting and University Application Support
​​
Post the decision of the university course and institution, our mentor base continued to support the students by providing examples of successful personal statements. Next, we help the student in preparing a clear construct / plan of (i) clear structure of the statement, (ii) key topics to cover across academics, professional work and personal experiences / hobbies and (iii) driving messages to stand out to the admission officer.
​
We work with student to help continually iterate the personal statement until we reach a position where the student and our team is confident each line is adding significant value and relays a core message displaying the student's core strengths and ambitions to study the intended course.
​
Beyond the continuous support with drafting the personal statement, our service also includes a dedicated advisor to support the student with the online application, to ensure all formalities our completed accurately.

Given our broad network of mentors, we have a list of the most common interview topics / questions across UK universities. This specialist knowledge of interview topic areas, along with relevant preparation resources, helps to maximise the chances of success for each of our students.
