Consulting for Graduate Admissions in Europe

You don't. All application information is online and free anyway. 

Especially if you have a bunch of free time with modest means, I advise you to do your own research and applications by yourself to save money. 

My clients are mostly senior students and full-time employees who don't have time to work on their applications due to their jobs or busy schedules. 

If that sounds like you, you may consider working with me.

Alternatively, you trust your ability to manage your applications but you see value in private consulting. 

Maybe you didn't make your mind yet, you need to learn more about studying in Europe, or you are merely confused. 

In any case, click the button below book a free get-to-know-each other call with me. We talk and see how to proceed.

Even if we end up not working together, I would be happy to meet.

Say you decided to work with me. 

We will begin with signing a gentlemen's agreement, outlining mutual responsibilities. 

From then on, we will have regular video calls, depending on the application calendars and our personal schedules. You can expect to meet once a week or two weeks for six months, until the completion applications. 

If you already have a clear plan regarding what you want to study and where, including post-graduate plans, I explain the feasibility of your plans and what you can do after graduation based on your personal situation.

If all you have in mind is studying in Europe in general, I offer recommendations according to your circumstances.

If you have specific programs and schools in mind, I take note of them and look for additional programs. If not, I recommend programs that I believe you have a high chance of acceptance.

To help you decide study programs to apply for, I explain the pros and cons of each program, city, country and school.

I check whether you meet the application requirements. If you fall short to meet all eligibility requirements for a program, I advise you about how to improve them.

If required, I contact the schools to clarify any uncertainties about the programs. 

We prepare an application folder. I write your statement of purpose, format your documents, and ensure they are complete and correct.

Then, we proceed with the applications. I make sure you fill out the forms correctly and select the correct options.

If you are invited to an interview, I coach you in advance.

We apply for at least five programs. The upper limit is ten. Once results are out, I guide you through enrolment. 

Our collaboration officially ends when you receive your admission offer, but we keep in touch after your relocation. 

I like keeping long-lasting relationships with my clients, who I prefer to refer them as friends. We will hopefully continue to talk, chat, or even meet in person long after our collaboration ends. 

The button below directs you to a Google Form where you can share your resume with me. After upload your resume, I will get back to you via email to schedule a call. 

The point of our call will be getting to know each other, understanding your goals, answering your questions and evaluating if working with me can indeed makes sense for your case.

How much does consulting cost?

It costs $1900 with a single installment. Other options are $1950 with two installments and $2000 with three installments. You can pay with PayPal.  

Can I get admitted to x, y, z school/program?

Can't tell. Nobody can unless somebody builds a database that contains every single detail about application information of previously admitted students in last few years, which would make predictions easier. 

I have been consulting since three years and I have seen candidates with killer CVs getting rejections even from low-ranked schools. I am talking about those graduated among 1% from top schools, published journal articles as an undergrad, having impressive professional experiences and social engagements.

....and on the contrary, I have seen students with modest CVs getting surprising acceptances from competitive programs. 

These cases made me very cautious when judging someone's admission odds. The best I can do to make sure you check elibilitiy criteria and prepare your application well. 

What if I am not admitted?

I only work with students who are likely to be admitted into their desired programs to protect my credibility and prevent my clients losing time and money. If I consider your case as risky, I tell you that straightforwardly and turn you down. 

However, if you not get admitted despite your outstanding profile, I offer the same service to you in the next application round for 1/5 of the original price that you paid. 

What if I change my mind about studying abroad later?

There are three possibilities.

1) If we have had three or fewer meetings by the time you change your plans, I will issue a full refund without asking questions.

2) If we have had more than three meetings and you decide to change your plans without a force majeure (circumstances outside your control), I will issue a 50% refund.

3) If you have to change your plans due to a force majeure, such as illness affecting you or your family, there are two options:
a) If we have had more than three meetings, I will issue an 80% refund.
b) Alternatively, we can postpone your application to the next round until your issue is resolved. Your spot will be reserved in my workload.
