🎓 Why choose you over other admission agencies?

Independent: We are not a traditional agency — we do not collaborate with universities and do not receive commissions for your admissions. All our advice is 100% honest and fully focused on your interests.

 

Dual expertise: We have dual expertise in education and career development. We know the European job market, and we select programs so that you don’t just get admitted, but also have the highest chances of finding a job in Europe after your studies.

Our clients have been admitted to top schools such as HEC, ESCP, ESSEC, Sciences Po, Sorbonne, École Polytechnique, and other leading universities. See their stories here

⏳ Do you guarantee admission?

While we cannot guarantee admission, as the decision is made by the university committee, we provide high-quality guidance that maximizes your chances when you follow our recommendations. With full support, we help define your admission strategy, categorizing programs into best fit, second choice, and backup options to ensure the highest likelihood of success.

 

According to our 2024–2025 statistics, 100% of students who received full guidance were admitted to at least one program.

- Bachelor’s, master’s, PhD, MBA, executive programs

- Specialties: Humanities & Social Sciences, Business & Economics, Science & Engineering , Arts, Design & Architecture, Education & Communication

 

We do not work directly with universities, so all recommendations are fully independent and in your best interest.

🤝 How do consultations work?

We work online only, which allows us to support clients worldwide and respond flexibly across time zones. You choose a convenient time on our website, receive a confirmation email with a Zoom link, and complete a detailed questionnaire so the expert can prepare. We work in English, Russian, and French. Consultations must be booked at least 10 days in advance. Urgent bookings are possible for an additional 30% fee, depending on available time slots.
