Holistic review

US universities use a "holistic" admissions review process, evaluating students based on their scholarly and personal traits.

We offer professional development for faculty and staff, including skills development for designated US university coordinators to support teachers in writing recommendation letters, creating clear and effective school transcripts, profiles, and discussing financing options for international students.

We also provide consulting services to schools, keeping teachers informed of new information and details as our team stays up to date with the nuances and ever-changing updates across a wide range of US universities.
