Admissions Counseling
Our Admissions Counseling Program
A Commitment to Excellence
Our Admissions Counseling Program has been developed to help students get everything they need to enroll in their dream schools. With our program, students have access to an elite group of college consultants and teachers, including IECA members, experienced school counselors, and former admissions officers in top colleges.
We are a welcome resource for applicants and families who recognize that they need more individual attention than a school counselor may have time to provide. We offer students the knowledge and skills of an experienced professional, coupled with a commitment to meet the client’s best interests. We act as your guide, interpreter, and facilitator for the entire application process. We also have expertise in advising individuals with special circumstances, such as learning or physical disabilities.
You can start as early as middle school. The program covers not only the application process itself, but also every important factor that may potentially affect the admission result.
The program consists of six packs: course selection, academic support, extracurricular activities, recommendation letters, college essays, and test preparation.
Our signature services are our extracurricular projects: we help students choose, create, and develop extracurricular activities based on their own interests with the guidance of professionals in their fields. Enrolling in the program also provides students with vital academic support, enhancing their competitiveness in academic performance and test outcomes.
