Frequently Asked Questions

I am unsure which courses and universities to apply for. Can you help me decide?

Yes absolutely. This is the intended outcome of Module 1. Based on the information you share with us regarding your academic background, your work experience and your goals, we shortlist a few best-suited programs and universities for you. These would typically be a mix of top-tier, middle-tier and back-up options.

How many programs should I apply for?

The application process can get tedious and overwhelming, especially if you are simultaneously engaged in full-time work or study. The quality of each submission may get affected if you are overworked. Therefore, we recommend an upper limit of 8 applications in one admission cycle. The lower limit depends on multiple factors which will be discussed at length during our calls.

Generally, we encourage candidates to use our services to apply to 3 or 4 top-tier universities and modify the content we jointly develop to submit applications to other universities.

Will you write my essays?

We rarely write essays from scratch for a candidate. Through calls and resources, we will guide you to put together a first draft of your essays, which will be reviewed, reworded and refined by us.

What are my chances of getting into my target universities?

Based on our experience, a successful application is not necessarily the one with the most merit, but one that distinguishes itself from the rest and remains salient in the mind of the reader. We have witnessed several candidates with low expectations and credentials make it through the best universities because of their unique story. However, the success of an application is also a function of good fortune. It is hard to predict which aspect of an application will sit well with which admissions committee. Therefore, we encourage our candidates to exercise cautious optimism as they navigate through their applications.

Can I pay in installments?

Although it's best to get the financials out of the way before we dive into the work, we accept payments in two equal installments - one as we begin our journey and the other as we cross the halfway mark.

Do you issue refunds in case I change my plans?

Yes, in case you have paid in full and decide to halt our work for any reason, we will deduct an amount in tune with the work done and refund the rest to you.
