Researching colleges and majors, writing essays, completing forms and meeting multiple deadlines can be difficult for anyone. As Admissions Consultants, we have the knowledge, tools and resources to successfully guide students and their families through the application process.

OUR DIFFERENCE

We know every student has unique needs and talents. However, Universities follow an “Enrollment Funnel” approach to manage their recruitment and admissions process, placing students in “pools” or “baskets” of applicants. Our personalized attention helps our students stand out through the application funnel while finding the programs that fit them best.

Our team has intimate knowledge of the Admissions Office’s point of view. Our founder has served as Director of Admissions and Academic Dean for both private and public Universities in the US. Our team members are:

  • Former Admissions Officers / Student Counselors
  • Graduates with Masters or Doctoral degrees from highly prestigious US Universities

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

I was lucky to find Akademyk to help me with my application process. My consultant  gave me valuable recommendations and helped me streamline my essay in a way that made me stand out as an applicant. 

My counselor was always available when I needed his support. He was very supportive and helpful, and had an excellent turn around time.  The application dashboard was a great way to keep track of my submissions and to communicate.

My advisor was a joy to work with, always having great suggestions that made sense for me as an applicant. Her point of view was critical in helping me craft a narrative that helped me be accepted into my dream school.

My counselor helped me create a cohesive narrative that included my greatest strengths from an academic and personal perspective. She provided numerous edits and suggestions for my essays, based on what the admissions office wants to see.  I highly recommend them for students who are looking to be admitted into a competitive school.
