International Students Hoping to Attend University in the United States

International student enrollment is competitive at universities and colleges across America. How do international students applying to U.S. universities distinguish themselves from their peers? College Admission Coach can help you navigate the American undergraduate admissions process and put forward your best application. 

We recognize the unique barriers, both educational and cultural that international students face, and assist you in navigating the educational, financial, social and immigration barriers that could prevent you from attending an American university. Different educational systems, unique transcripts, distinct cultural approaches regarding grading, written teacher evaluations, the availability of extracurricular activities and more need to be analyzed by an experienced expert in the American college admissions process.
​
Beyond helping you develop an understanding of the admissions process at selective American universities, College Admission Coach provides you with the knowledge you need to differentiate between various academic programs and university environments. 
Comprehensive Counseling Package: $10,000 (USD) 
A great value!

​The goal of comprehensive international counseling is to help high school students identify, apply and gain admission and financial aid at colleges that are the right fit for the student. Students may begin this process with a College Admission Coach as early as 9th grade and select from a menu of services that include pre-college planning, selection of colleges that are appropriate targets for the student, guidance through the admissions process, scholarship and financial aid assistance, and help with decision-making related to choosing the college to attend. Students receive 60-80 hours of coaching, based on their needs and desires.
