About Us• Collectively we account for over forty years of experience as college and university counselors.

• Our travels to visit universities span the globe, including extensive travel in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Europe, the Middle East, Singapore and the US.

• We are long-standing members and leaders of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), the Overseas Association for College Admission Counseling (OACAC) and the American School Counseling Association (ASCA).

•We regularly lead workshops on college and university admissions topics for our peers.

Page 5: Introduction

The Bottom LineWe have:

• A strong, extensive network of professional relationships with the people who will read your applications

• A vast working knowledge of tertiary education systems and their admissions practices and procedures around the world

• The ability to quickly access the answers to your questions that we cannot readily answer ourselves

Page 6: Introduction

Our PhilosophyWe believe students must be experts on their colleges

We are encouraging, and we provide honest, data-driven counseling

We believe college admission is a match to be made, not a trophy to be won

We seek to help find colleges that fit

We operate with integrity and confidentiality
