Choosing a school abroad is mostly guessing if nobody has walked those campuses. We shortlist, apply, and deal with the admissions office so you don't have to.
Most of the admin is ours. You send a handful of documents and answer questions honestly.
Deadlines, forms, and calls with the school.
Six things, most of which you already have.
Requirements vary by school and year. We confirm the exact ones for your shortlist in writing.
Intensive English, usually 15–25 hours a week, with rolling starts. Flexible way in if English is the main obstacle, or you want to test living in the U.S. before a degree.
A two‑year degree at a community or junior college. Often the best‑value route into American higher education.
The full four‑year undergraduate degree. Start in year one, or transfer in from a community college with two years of credit already banked.
Postgraduate study in one to two years. An MBA suits people with work behind them who want to move into management.
Short, job‑shaped courses in one skill: accounting, digital marketing, hospitality, IT support. Vocational, and quick.
A term or a year at an American high school, or a summer program for ages 6–18 mixing English lessons with camp activities and supervised trips.
Fees change every intake. Tell us your shortlist and we'll get current figures from each school in writing, including what's covered and what isn't.
Six questions, in this order. Fail an early one and the school never makes your shortlist.
A degree, stronger English, a career change. Each points at a different program type. We spend the most time here.
If you can't follow the class yet, we say so and start with language study before the degree.
Not just tuition: rent, food, insurance, flights home. Better a place you can finish than one you abandon halfway.
Same tuition, different life by state. We compare rent, transport, and whether you'll need a car across the states where our partner schools are.
Some programs allow practical training; others don't. Rules sit with the government and your school's international office. We do not determine eligibility.
We check that language or Associate's credits are accepted where you might go next, in writing from the receiving school when we can.
Typical timings. Documents slow most people down, so start collecting them early.
What you want to study, your English, your budget, and when you'd like to start. By the end you'll know if the plan is realistic, and what would make it so.
Real options with program, city, start dates, entry requirements, and the honest drawback of each. You pick; we never enroll you somewhere you haven't chosen.
Passport, transcripts, translations if needed, proof of funds, statement. We give a checklist, then check every file before it goes anywhere.
We submit to your chosen schools, pay application fees where the school allows it, and confirm receipt so nothing sits unread.
When offers land we lay out total cost, conditions, start date, and deferral options. You get a plain recommendation with the reasoning.
You pay the school directly, never through us. The school issues your I‑20; we check the details match. Filing after that is yours to do, or with an independent licensed U.S. immigration attorney if you choose one.
Scan or photograph each item clearly and keep them in one place. You'll reuse the same folder for the visa step.
Not every school asks for every item. We'll confirm which ones yours needs.
You don't need the full set to start. Send what you have and we'll begin shortlisting while the rest arrives.
We share them only with the schools you chose, and only what each application needs.
An offer and an I‑20 let you apply for an F‑1. The decision belongs to a consular officer, and no agency can promise an outcome. Filing is yours, or an independent attorney's. See our legal notice.
More on the full FAQ page, or just send the question straight to us.
Language school or certificate: two to three months is comfortable. Degree: work backwards six to nine months for deadlines, offer, deposit, I‑20, and the visa appointment.
Starting earlier costs nothing and gives you more choice. Starting late usually means a later intake.
Often not. Language schools place you with their own test. Many community colleges and some universities accept an internal assessment or pathway instead.
Most Bachelor's and Master's programs want a recognised result. Tell us your shortlist first. We'll check each school's policy so you only sit a test if you need one.
For most students there is no service fee when you apply through our partner network. Your tuition stays the same as applying on your own. If your case needs a custom quote, you get the number in writing before any work starts.
Yes. Our partner schools are the ones we know inside out. If you've set your heart on somewhere else we'll still help you apply. We'll be upfront that we have less first‑hand knowledge of that campus and no direct line into its admissions office.
Non‑network schools and heavy consulting are the cases we quote for in advance.
Admissions, F‑1 path, arrival. Most students walk through all three with us, in that order.
With your I‑20 in hand, filing is next: yourself, or with an independent licensed U.S. immigration attorney. We stay on the school side and can offer optional conversational prep for study plans and English.
How the F‑1 path worksHousing, and the first‑month list: bank account, phone plan, student ID. We stay reachable through all of it.
What arrival support coversThree lines is enough: the subject, your English level, and roughly what you can spend for a year. We'll come back with a shortlist of schools that fit, and the honest drawback of each.
