Who this is for and who it is not for

For families targeting competitive STEM, business or quant-heavy programs abroad who want test preparation and profile work coordinated under one relationship. You can start in school, college or application season. This model is a poor fit for an isolated essay review or purely narrative help alongside an established test-prep provider elsewhere.

Test dates, application deadlines and narrative milestones share one calendar. The same team works on the score and the application story, so a retake and a recommendation request can be planned against the target programs' submission dates.

What you get

  • Psychometric assessment and direction-setting for undergraduate applicants.
  • Extracurricular positioning, or relevant internship, project and work-experience positioning for postgraduate applicants.
  • SAT or ACT planning for undergraduate study; GRE or GMAT planning for postgraduate study, alongside profile work.
  • Personal statements, SOPs and graduate CVs drafted against the target-program list.
  • Recommendation-letter timing, application tracking against program deadlines and interview preparation where required.

How it runs, by stage

Undergraduate

  1. Grades 9-10: psychometric assessment, direction-setting and extracurricular foundation.
  2. Grade 11: SAT or ACT groundwork begins alongside profile work, with a score target matched to programs.
  3. Grades 11-12: score and story develop together, leaving retake time, drafting statements and requesting recommendations early.
  4. Application season: track deadlines and portals; prepare for required interviews.

Postgraduate and MBA

  1. College years 1-2: clarify Master's or MBA direction and position relevant projects, internships or experience.
  2. 12-18 months before applying: begin GRE or GMAT groundwork, develop the CV and identify recommenders.
  3. Score and story together: plan retakes, draft the SOP and CV against target programs, and request recommendations.
  4. Application season: track each program's deadlines and portals, with interview preparation.
