Senior Advisor
Alexander Basescu
Alexander studied at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Edinburgh and has been advising high-performing candidates from top UK and international schools with A-List for 8 years. He's supported dozens of successful candidates to Ivy League and similarly competitive schools, as well as small liberal arts colleges, research powerhouses, leading public universities, and honors programs including UVA’s Jefferson Scholarship.

Fluent in English and Spanish, he grew up between New York and California, completing his IB diploma with four higher levels. He has held various leadership and representative positions at both his universities to better understand how to help underserved communities. Some of his most memorable university experiences include managing over 240 interns through a research fellowship, being the Assistant Secretary General of the Ivy League Model United Nations Conference, becoming Vice President of the Edinburgh Political Union, founding Democrats Overseas at Edinburgh, volunteering to help high achieving low-income students with their college applications, and pursuing music as a cellist and singer, making the most of both the US and UK higher education system.
