More about services

We will provide professional advice and help you deal with educational system the country you are interested in, the entrance requirements of the university, the terms for preparing and sending documents for admission. Before starting work, we will draw up a step-by-step action plan for preparing an application for admission to selected universities, which will make the admission process simple and transparent for you.

The choice of universities is a key step in admission. We will help you choose the most suitable programs. At the same time, if you want to make a detailed selection of universities, taking into account a number of selection criteria, we advise you to order our service "Individual selection of a program", which includes checking the maximum possible number of universities for compliance with your data to their admission requirements.

Motivation letter, or essay, also called Motivation Letter or Personal Statement, is an integral part of an application for admission to a foreign university. Using from 400 to 1,500 words, the applicant needs to explain admission committee why this program was chosen, what goals he wants to achieve by entering this program, due to what qualities, knowledge and skills he will be able to succeed in the program and in his future career. Our team has edited hundreds of essays for various universities around the world. The work on the essay is carried out by consultants who have a Master or PhD degree from leading universities in the world, people from Russia, Ukraine and other countries of the post-Soviet space.

A letter of recommendation is an individual letter from the teacher and / or employer of the applicant, addressed to the admissions committee of the foreign university where you are applying. Since writing letters of recommendation is not yet common in post-Soviet academic practice, our team helps to write letters of recommendation from the words of the recommender. We do not “come up” recommendations for recommenders, because such a practice, in the eyes of the admissions committees of foreign universities, is tantamount to deception. We help you interview referees and draw up an unconventional letter of recommendation revealing your personality and potential.

When applying to a foreign university for master's and some bachelor's programs, it is often required to provide a resume drawn up according to academic standards. In many cases, the resume becomes the first piece of the application that is looked at by the university admissions office. Our team of professionals will help you make a positive first impression by crafting your resume well.

One of milestones admission to the world's leading universities is an individual interview. No less important than the preparation of the application will be its successful completion. We help you to prepare thoroughly for it, we will analyze the most likely questions together with you, conduct a test interview and provide a report based on the results of your answers.

Our team will provide you with full support until the successful completion of the admission process (receiving a letter of acceptance from one or more universities), after which it will help you navigate the next step-by-step actions.

Everyone has many hopes and plans associated with entering the university. At the same time, this is a complex and rather specific process (especially if we are talking O foreign university), requiring careful preparation, attention and coordination of all actions. This is why professional support is so important.

But due to the abundance of companies and consultants in the market that promise to help with admission, it is easy to get confused. So today I want to offer you quick guide at the discretion of the consultant.

So what does an admissions consultant do? In general, its activities can be reduced to the following actions:

  • it helps applicants navigate education and career options
  • teaches you how to prepare all documents in the most efficient way so that they fully reflect your current qualifications and experience
  • provides comprehensive support throughout the entire admission process
  • acts as an “outside view” (critical, objective and professional), which is simply necessary to finalize all important written documents

How to choose a consultant

In my opinion the most important step in choosing a company or an admissions consultant - this is an individual consultation.

Were you offered a free initial consultation? If there is no such consultation, then how can you understand who you should work with? Two consultants are always different - their opinions, advice, working methods and experience can be very different. That's why it's so important during a consultation to make sure you're working with a professional and that you have a good rapport.

How long does this initial consultation last? From my point of view, 30 minutes is the absolute minimum for you to ask questions about the services, and the consultant could give the first assessment of your profile and evaluate the possibility of entering the selected universities.

What precedes the initial consultation is also very important. Does the consultant ask you to fill out a questionnaire in advance or submit your resume? If not, then, most likely, the consultation will be quite superficial and most of the time will be spent on understanding where you studied, what grades you have, where you worked, etc.

Personally, I do not conduct an initial consultation without receiving a resume and information about plans for admission from the applicant. So I know that I can conduct the most effective consultation and already give it useful advice incoming.

One of the important criteria for the first consultation – are you asked enough questions (about you, your plans, career expectations, etc.)? If not, then this is a reason to think: most likely, such a consultant is ready to work with everyone and his goal is to sell his services (and not help you enter the chosen program).

To better understand if a consultant is right for you, you can use the following questions:

1. “What do you think of the schools I have chosen? Are there any other schools that you think I need to think about?”

2. “How exactly can you help me with my admission?”

3. If you do not know about the experience of the consultant and the results of his work, be sure to ask about it. If you have this information, but something remains unclear, specify the details.

4. "What methods of work do you use?"

5. "What time do you work?"

6. “What is the average time you need to check the document(s)?”

7. “Tell us, please, in general terms, how our work with you will go.”

8. "How are you different from other consultants?"

9. “By what criteria do you choose those with whom you are ready to work?”

10. “Have you worked with clients from my country? What experience do you have with applicants from different countries?”

11. If you are not applying for the first time (after failed attempt): "What experience do you have with those who apply again?"

12. Any question about weak point in your background. For example, how to deal with a long period of time without work or low grades.

What is the difference between a good consultant and a bad one?

Good consultant:

1. Will listen to you carefully and give specific advice specifically for your situation.

2. Understands your strengths and weak sides as a candidate.

3. Fully explain all aspects of the admissions process.

4. Be honest with you. For example, when discussing your choice of schools, he will tell you what your chances of getting into there are with your GMAT, TOEFL and/or GRE results.

5. Shows genuine interest in you and your life.

6. Already during the first consultation, he will give you specific and helpful tips, which you can use even if you don't continue working with it.

7. Helps you with ideas, advises you on how best to tell your story.

8. Tell you how long it will take to prepare a set of documents and when you can finish the work - regardless of your expectations about this or his fee (ie sometimes he will tell you to work longer than you expected, sometimes less).

9. Knows (or knows how to find) any admission information you need.

Bad consultant:

1. Doesn't listen to you.

2. Does not ask questions, gives general advice and recommendations that may not apply to your situation

3. Does not have information about study programs and universities in different countries and/or the admission process.

4. Does not have high standards and does not encourage you to work hard.

5. Is indifferent to you as a person, because he considers it his job only to check your documents or prepare you for an interview (and does it formally).

6. According to your observations, does not try to learn more about you after the first sessions.

7. Forces specific ideas/stories on you to use in emails.

8. Works more like an editor than a consultant.

Assistance with admission is provided by both individual consultants and agencies / companies offering comprehensive services on admission. The differences between them are as follows:

1. Specialization

Not all agencies and consultants have a specific line of work in which they specialize. Quite a lot of companies work on all types of education (from language courses And high school to MBA). On the one hand, such a range of services is convenient for those who need to go through a long preparation path before entering (to improve their language, prepare for the GMAT, etc.). On the other hand, in such a situation, one cannot expect a consultant to have a thorough knowledge of all the details of the admission process, for example, to a master's program in German business schools.

A company or consultant specializing only in MBA programs or a master's degree abroad, will help you better understand all the details of the chosen program and develop an admission strategy aimed at a particular educational institution.

2. Choosing a consultant

In some cases (depending on the contract) the agency has the right to change your consultants. Therefore, if you want to get to a certain consultant, indicate it right away and do not agree to replacements. In addition, if the agency does not provide free consultation with the employee you want to work with, it is better to look for other options.

If you choose an individual consultant, you immediately choose the person with whom you will work. His approach will be more individual and flexible than the company, but it is important to make sure in advance that your ideas about joint work match up.

3. Multiple opinions

Sometimes the agency gives you the opportunity to evaluate documents by more than one employee. And here there are pluses and minuses. On the one hand, this makes it possible to get different opinions. On the other hand, these opinions can be somewhat superficial (since consultants do not know you well) and in the end will simply confuse you.

While some agencies claim to have an information edge over individual consultants, this is hard to accept given the abundance of free (or inexpensive) information.

To summarize, I want to say that it does not matter if you use an independent consultant or an agency. After all, in the end, everything will depend on the person with whom you will work. At the same time, you should not think that you necessarily need a consultant with a degree in the specialty that you are going to enter. Certainly, personal experience Successfully passing all the stages helps a lot, but a person with experience will also suit you. successful work who knows how to listen and who will help to show you as a candidate in the best possible way.

I hope that now it has become clear to you how exactly an admissions consultant can help you and how not to make a mistake with his choice.

The purpose of our work is to give you practical and proven recommendations for successful admission to the master's program of the world's best universities and business schools.

After school, many become applicants. Now it is rare for anyone to finish their education only in grades 9-11. However, few of the applicants understand how the process of entering a university or institute proceeds. As part of this article, we want to help those entering the university this year.

Our goal is to give you Full description admission procedures for higher education. Therefore, for more visual presentation material, the entire article will be divided into several subsections. This will allow you to understand step by step the whole mechanism of this exciting process - the process university admissions.

To give you a complete picture, for starters, as an introduction, we will talk a little about preparing for exams (USE), passing the unified state exam itself, waiting for the results, then we will touch on the issue of submitting documents to the university. In some universities, additional entrance tests have been left for applicants (prestigious Moscow and St. Petersburg universities, theater universities). This issue will also be discussed in the article. And in the final part, we will tell you about, probably, the most exciting stage university admissions- enrollment.

If you are ready to get a certificate from those who have already gone through both fire and water, then let's go

1. We pass exams (USE) + Olympiads

Any admission begins long before the submission of documents. For far-sighted schoolchildren, it begins as early as grade 9. Now the list of exams for admission to various specialties is practically unchanged, so you can prepare in advance for certain subjects. Therefore, in another 1.5-2 years, orient yourself in choosing the USE exam. This is very important to do in advance, because. allows you to cut off everything superfluous and concentrate only on what is really important for admission. In this case, you are giving yourself help with admission.

How to choose the right supplements USE exams, you can read .

Applicants to the university They can also make their lives easier if, in addition to preparing for exams in advance, they simultaneously participate in various Olympiads held by universities. And here, it’s not even so important to participate in the Olympiad of the university you want to enter, but simply to participate in such events. Even if you don’t win anything, anyway, in any case, you will gain invaluable experience that will help you adjust your preparation for the exam. So do not sit at home, go, if possible, to all the Olympiads held by universities that relate to your future direction of professional activity.

During the exam, we strongly recommend that you forget about phones, netbooks, cheat sheets and other tips. Now this is very strict, not worth the risk. After all, just imagine, if you are caught cheating, then, we can say, goodbye to everything. You will have to retake, and there already the mood will not be the same, and the result, respectively, too. Therefore, save your spurs better for the university, and take the exam on your own. frets?

When you are waiting for the results of the exam, then, first of all, do not reproach yourself for the “jambs” that you think you made while completing the exam tasks. Life is a continuous series of mistakes. After all, there is no person who does not make mistakes. Wait for the results with peace of mind, be proud of yourself that you have finally passed this exam! Well done!

2. Submission of documents to the selection committee.

Moreover, some, especially demanding universities also require that the photos be matte. Rarely, of course, but there are such requirements, so stock up on matte photos as well. To all this, also make 10 copies of the exam and a certificate (with the question of where to certify copies, contact the admissions committee by phone, because some universities require notarization, others certify themselves, others ask you to certify copies at school).

In general, according to the new rules for accepting copies, they must be certified only at the university, i.e. where you apply. But you never know. After all, we live in Russia, where order is "very respected." Therefore, play it safe and ask in advance how to certify copies.

IN assistance to applicants it will also be useful to know what some universities require (although they are not entitled to) medical certificate according to the form No. 086 / y (see fig.). It may (and must) be required after your enrollment, but not during the submission of documents. But still, do it in advance and better in several copies (only originals are needed here, that is, you will have to persuade doctors to sign several times).

When you directly go to apply to the university, it is better not to go on the first days of admission.

{The best time to submit documents is a period of 2-3 weeks after the start of admission.}

It's just that if you go early, you'll end up in huge lines. We don’t know why people think that if they apply faster, they will have a better chance of getting in. That's bullshit. Do not rush too much, you will have time to submit everything, since a rather impressive time is given for this (almost a month).

Also, do not forget that you have the right to submit your documents by mailing them. Hurry up here, because. our mail is very fast.

3. Additional competition.

What other additional competition you ask? Universities only accept the USE. Yes, this is true, but some higher education institutions also require the delivery of an additional entrance test. About 20 universities have the right to their own additional examinations, mainly theatrical, artistic, i.e. those where you need to show your talent and the most prestigious metropolitan and St. Petersburg universities.

It seems that if you decide to apply to one of these universities, then this will not be news to you. Most likely, in addition to preparing for the exam, you were also preparing for an additional test. You don't need our help here. Show your best, don't be shy in front of the jury, and always remember that you won't get a second chance to make a first impression. Do not miss your chance!

4. Enrollment.

Finish line for applicants. The most exciting moment in all admission is enrollment in the ranks of students. In fact, this process should be the most enjoyable of all the time of your admission. Why? Yes, because if you passed the exam with a high score and successfully passed an additional test, then you know how nice it is to see your name in the lists of applicants on the university website or on the information stand. Then they will say about you: “Look, look how many points he has! The guy / girl was obviously well prepared / trained.

And then you can already have a normal rest, after all, summer!

Assistance to the applicant can only be provided by the applicant himself. Or, in other words, an applicant - help yourself!

Conclusion: Now you, I hope, understand that the process of entering a university is a purely technical procedure (except for passing an additional test). The most important thing is to prepare very diligently for exams, attend all school electives in the subject you are taking. But the most important thing is inner desire and self-education. If you yourself do not want to prepare, then no one can force you.

Guys, go for it, surf the Internet less, more! And then assistance in admission to applicants you just won't need it.

We wish you to go where you planned! As soon as you become a student, don't forget to visit our website in September and you will find a lot of useful things for yourself, already being in the status of a full-fledged student.
