consultUS is committed to providing customized advising services that match your needs and interests. Whether you look for ongoing assistance with all aspects of the application process or simply require help with specific issues such as writing the admissions essay or obtaining certified translations of educational credentials, our flexible services can be tailored to suit your needs.
Our popular full counseling package typically includes the following services:
Explaining the US system of higher education and point out the main differences to higher education in Germany, e.g. the liberal arts philosophy, breadth and distribution requirements, competitive admissions, or the importance of extracurricular involvement
Advising students about the university admissions process at the undergraduate or graduate level
Working closely with each student to develop a list of prospective universities or programs that match their academic and extracurricular interests, complete with specific information about each school
Counseling students on any of the following items as needed: academic preparation, essay writing and editing, campus visits, obtaining good letters of recommendation, financial aid, visa information, and transition to campus life in North America
Providing certified English translations of report cards, transcripts, diplomas, letters of recommendation and other educational credentials
Gathering and distributing information to students regarding standardized tests (ACT, SAT, Subject Tests, GRE, TOEFL, IELTS)
Keeping students aware of the various deadlines in the application process and answering any questions students or family members may have regarding the admissions selection or the application process
The above services are designed to work through telephone discussions or e-mail contact. In order to get to know you better and learn more about your background, interests, and ambitions, however, we recommend arranging a face-to-face meeting for the initial consultation and possibly at key stages during the application process.
You will have the services of consultUS for up to 12 months while we guide you through the application process and to the start of your university life in the US or Canada.
Please note that consultUS is not a paid recruitment agent for any college or university. We adhere to a strict code of ethics and only accept payments from our clients – students and their families seeking recommendations based on identified educational needs. Please contact us for information on our consulting packages or hourly rates. We cannot guarantee acceptance into your preferred college or university, but we will use our great experience to get you the best chance of admission.
