Get Accepted Into Your Dream College

The earlier, the better! When students come to us right before it is time to apply to college, there is only so much we can do with the experiences, credentials, and academic profile given to us. We can certainly help these students strategize and craft as compelling an applications as possible, but we are given experiences and data points that cannot be altered.

When students come to us early in their admission process, we can help students strategize early, build their profiles, and stand out from their peers. We help students explore and develop their academic interests, engage in unique and meaningful extracurricular activities, strengthen their personal qualities and leadership skills, and ultimately, position them to get into the best schools possible.

We are responsible for liaising with the family—sending meeting reports to parents, ensuring that all lines of communication are open, and resolving any issues that arise quickly. Applying and attending university is a big family decision that we respect and treat with the utmost compassion, care, and attention.

We work with all students, regardless of standardized test scores, GPA, university ambitions, and career goals. Our only requirements are that the student and family have realistic expectations, and that our students work hard and engage in the process with us.

At AP Guru, we are just as proud of the students at the bottom of their classes who outperform the odds to get into top 100 schools as the students who get into the Ivy League.

An admissions counselor can supplement your school counselor’s efforts by providing additional personalized guidance throughout the college admissions process. This can include working with you to develop a balanced college list, helping you create your activity list, preparing you for interviews and college visits, explaining the admissions process to you, and helping you with brainstorming and editing components of the application. At AP Guru, we guide students and their families through every step of the admissions process so that they can identify the schools that will be the best academic and social fits for them; then we work with  students to help them portray the best and most comprehensive representation of who they are to the admissions committees of their chosen schools.

Do we guarantee that students have the best chance of getting accepted by using our services? Absolutely. Do we guarantee that students will get admitted? Absolutely not. Guaranteeing admission is impossible as we cannot control what goes on in the admissions office. What we do guarantee is that students who engage with our counselors and our curriculum, will leave this process with a better understanding of who they are, what they hope to accomplish, and how to succeed in school and beyond.

Yes! Our AP Guru college counselors specialize in US, Canada, Singapore, and UK admissions. If you'd like to apply to a university elsewhere, we can certainly help you with that too.
