My time with my U CAN Counselor was fantastic! He clearly explained every step of the application process at the beginning so I knew what was required of me. Nevertheless, he helped me through every single application, making me feel supported with all the decisions I made. He helped me see that my profile was more than just my grades, extracurriculars, and test scores - and that I had to let the personal part of me shine through my essays. From choosing which countries and application systems to apply to all the way to submitting my applications, he was with me every step of the way. He gave me unbiased advice and would answer any question I had, which alongside his expertise in the college admissions process, meant that I felt confident every step of the way. With his help, I was accepted into my first choice, Cornell University, where thanks to his help I’m going to be spending the next 4 years of my life at. If there’s anything I could change, it would be starting earlier - his advice from the get-go would have helped me immeasurably and I thoroughly recommend U CAN counseling to anyone interested in a knowledgeable, personal, and stress-free college application process.
As an American student interested in going to university outside of the United States, the college counselors at my school had little knowledge of my European ambitions and couldnt help much when I explained my plan for college. I had no idea where to start with my application processes or what schools to look into. My U CAN College Counselor was a huge help in listening to what I wanted in a school and introducing me to the best options. He helped me stay organized, educated me on the university systems I was interested in, and guided me through the application processes. He offered his professional advice and was very patient through all of my questions and concerns. He was a very good communicator and always responded very quickly. He eventually helped me get accepted into my first choice school, which was IE University in Spain, and I can confidently say I wouldnt have been able to do it without him.
Deciding on a major and a university is no easy feat but with my U CAN college counselor this process became a lot less difficult. My counselor and I started working together at the end of my sophomore year of high school where he helped me in many different ways and advised me on how to make my profile stronger and a better candidate for universities. Then at the start of my junior year of high school together we started to see where I would be interested in applying and what major which was an extremely confusing and stressful process for me but thankfully having my counselor there with me every step of the way made it much more bearable. Then after having somewhat an idea of where I wanted to go and what major we started working on my personal essay which thanks to him breaking it down and guiding me by telling me to really dig deep into my experiences to find a topic and splitting it into sections with a deadline for each part which helped me not procrastinate and get it done. Finally my senior year of high school where my counselor made sure I kept track of all my deadlines and never missed one, proofread all my letters and statements before I submitted them to universities, and always being one zoom call away from helping me with any problem I was facing with an application or a university no matter how big or small. And for that, the experience I had working with my counselor is one I will never forget.
My journey with U CAN began at the end of my Junior year of High School when I first connected with my counselor. Our journey began by discussing the best options for me as a person, from environment and location to rankings and budget. What distinguishes U CAN Counseling from any other counseling service is their attention to your preferences and desires. Once we short-listed my preferred university choices, we began with the application process.
I felt very much at ease knowing that my counselor had all my dates, deadlines, and requirements ready for me. What gave me even more comfort was knowing that I could connect with my counselor at any given time and that they would give me the support I needed. Even at times when I felt behind on deadlines, my counselor would guide me and reassure me that we would submit everything on time.
After receiving my decisions from the universities I had applied to, my counselor helped guide me on choosing the right one for me. He was able to do that by explaining the advantages and disadvantages of each university through statistics, rankings, and student experiences. Ultimately, I decided on Purdue University.
Overall, I am very pleased with my experience with U CAN Counseling and am very grateful to my counselor for all the help that he has provided.
Thanks to the support of U CAN College Counseling, the application process was smooth and successful; I got accepted into my first-choice university! My U CAN Counselor helped me create a strong application but also one that was unique to me, and he helped me pick the best universities for not only my career path but also my personal preferences. As an international student in a little-known academic program, the Swiss Maturity, my chances would have been lower, had it not been for my UCAN counselor. He was able to create a bridge of communication between my school and the university advisors and therefore increase their understanding of my academics. My counselor also kept me on track, being sure that I didn't miss any deadlines or get overwhelmed by the process. In the end, I was accepted into my top university and I don't think it would have happened without the help of U CAN College Counseling!
The college admissions process is a very overwhelming one and even more so as an international student but throughout it all I felt extremely supported by my U CAN College Counselor. He guided me in every step of the way. What I especially liked about working with him was the fact that he helped me organize all of the work I needed to complete, which allowed me to not feel stressed throughout the whole process. It was extremely gratifying seeing that I had all of my college work finished quite early into the school year so that I could focus on my school work. I am so grateful for the fact that I got the opportunity to work with my college counselor, and I know for a fact that without him my college admissions process would have not been as smooth as it was. Thank you U CAN College Counseling!
As an international student, the US college application process seems not only so complex but entirely different from that of any other higher education. Having been enrolled in the Swiss Maturity, a foreign and often unfamiliar diploma to US admissions officers, my application process was perceived as unpredictable and even disadvantageous. Through this, my experience with my U CAN College Counselor was thorough, organized, and precise, whether it be during the college selection process, essay writing, or interview preparations. My counselor guided me through the entirety of the process, was always available to meet and even kept me in check throughout otherwise confusing deadlines. His deep insight and commitment ensured that I not only fully understood every step of the application but did so in a timely manner. The resources and guidance I gained through my counselor were fundamental in my success, but ultimately, his management, organization and understanding of the situation are what I believe to have been the most important factors in my work with him. I can say with absolute certainty that this process was facilitated to an extent to which I could not have imagined at the beginning of my work with my counselor. I am extremely grateful for everything he has done for me and would therefore like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank him.
I started working with my counselor at the end of my junior year, and continued to do so all throughout the summer of my junior year and my senior year. My counselor helped me incredibly from narrowing down a list of universities, to writing my application essays and preparing for alumni interviews. Above all, my counselor was always available to meet or to give me advice whenever I needed it. There was no limit on how much guidance I received. The resources which I gained access to through my counselor were also imperative in my college application process and I cannot imagine having had to go through the process without them. After hearing from all the universities I applied to, my counselor helped guide me to deciding on Georgetown University, a institution which I could not be happier to be attending. As a foreigner attending university in the US, it was also incredibly helpful to receive help with the visa application process and advice for the future. I am so grateful to have worked with my counselor who gave me all the guidance and encouragement which got me to where I am now!
My experience with my U CAN College Counselor was nothing short of amazing! He started by explaining the entire process of applications to make me realize the responsibilities I would have to take on. As such, I knew, early on, that I would have immense support. My counselor made me understand that the application process was an outlet to express my story rather than just my grades, test scores, and awards. He guided me through every stage from choosing the right colleges to perfecting my essays and his support was invaluable. He always stood by me and was available to answer my questions at any given time. His deep insight into the college process ensured that my application was perfect. His commitment to my success also meant that I never felt stressed throughout the entire process. This allowed me to fly through the process stress-free while many of my peers constantly worried. By the end of it all, I was accepted to London School of Economics, Kings College London, University of Warwick, UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC, Rice, Northwestern, NYU, Northeastern, Carnegie Mellon, and Babson. If I had to redo the college application process again, I wouldn’t change a thing except for starting earlier. As such, I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for everything he has done for me.
Before starting my university application it seemed incredibly overwhelming, but once I talked to my counselor about it, and realized the support I had, everything seemed completely doable. My counselor helped me clear my mind and with his help I succeeded in being accepted to my top university. Not only did he make the application process bearable, but my counselor helped me with everything that came after, that I hadn’t even known to be prepared for. I can say with certainty that without his help, the process would have been a lot more difficult and stressful, so I’d like to truly thank him for his time and advice because now I’m exactly where I want to be and I’m not sure I could have done it as smoothly without him.
Going into the application process, I was completely overwhelmed, having countless questions and wondering where to begin. However, with the guidance of my counselor, what would’ve been a very stressful time turned out to be a smooth ride. My counselor helped me formulate my university list, prepared detailed plans for each application, and motivated me throughout the journey. Working on my own, I would have procrastinated all the work before the deadlines, but with the help of my counselor we made progress each week and I was able to finish all applications well in time. I found my counselor’s advice and guidance with my essays most helpful. My counselor really put all his effort into this process and I couldn't have asked for anything more. Knowing I could rely on my counselor at any time with anything served as a different level of reassurance. I am incredibly grateful to have him by my side leading me to where I am today.
Being an international student applying for US universities seemed like a farfetched dream. However, after getting in touch with U CAN Counseling my dream became a reality. My counselor helped me find structure and clarity in the otherwise overwhelming application proces. My counselor helped guide me when I had to construct numerous challenging application essays. Moreover, when I was conflicted about which university was the right fit for me, my counselor presented me with an array of options and information that helped me find my best fit university. I’d like to thank my counselor for everything he did for me. I’m positive that I would not have accomplished the things I have without a hand to guide me when everything seemed inaccessible. My counselor made me feel safe whilst bringing out my best academic sides. Thank you U CAN counseling!
When I first signed up with U CAN College Counselling, I had no idea where I wanted to study or what career I wanted to pursue. With the help of my U CAN counselor, I was able to find the perfect program that suited me in the best location for that program. Throughout my senior year, I felt so comfortable and stress-free knowing that all my applications were fully taken care of. The most complicated tasks seemed so easy and quick. I was able to apply to eight top 100 universities around the world, where I got accepted into all eight but none of that could’ve been completed without the help of my counselor. There were countless benefits that came with my U CAN counselor, but the most important one was that he was always there for me and supported me every step of the way. He made sure all my essays were perfect and that I had the right courses in school to have a strong application. Any inquiry I had about any academic problem was answered very quickly and smoothly. In conclusion, this was one of the best decisions I ever made and no words can express how helpful my counselor was; I can’t even imagine where I’d be right now without U CAN College Counseling.
My experience with U CAN College Counseling was nothing but spectacular. In the beginning, I was absolutely overwhelmed with the university process and didn’t know where or how to start. Then I was recommended by a friend to U CAN College Counseling, due to their incredible professionalism. I started working with my counselor the summer of my Junior year and throughout my Senior year. The amount of dedication, knowledge, and passion my counselor had made the process easy and fun. My counselor provided structure and the guidance I needed, from helping me understand the different complex university processes, to selecting possible undergraduate courses, to creating a university, list to writing essays. My counselor always put the time into his work to make sure I achieved my goals. I am super grateful for this experience, and I highly recommend them.
The college application process: arguably, the most stressful time for a high schooler. That being said, my experience with the college application process could not have been more different. I started working with my counselor at the end of my sophomore year in high school and continued working with him throughout my junior and senior year. Throughout this time, I have felt incredibly supported, and not once have I felt stressed about not meeting a deadline or not being able to complete an essay. In fact, the whole process was actually quite enjoyable and that is all thanks to the help of my incredible counselor. In fact, he was not just my counselor who helped me with the essays, sending scores, narrowing down universities; I felt like I had a friend who supported me and was always willing to put in more work with me than he had to. Not only did my counselor guide me through the process and assist me in picking the university I would attend, he also listened to my questions and concerns and never ever failed to provide me with reassurance and the necessary answers to my questions. Additionally, he made amazing use of digital tools in order to lay out all of the information in a very clear fashion. This made the complex application process very simple and easy to navigate. I could not have gone through this process without my counselor and I am forever grateful that I have had the opportunity to work with him. To this day, after the process is all said and done, I still feel supported and am sure that this sentiment will carry on. I would not have been where I am today if it wasn't for my counselor and that is something I will never forget.
At the start of my university application process, I was completely overwhelmed and unsure of how or where to begin. However, once I started working with my U CAN counselor, I was provided with all sorts of structure and guidance. From helping me narrow down potential majors, to recommending universities, to keeping me on top of deadlines, my counselor was there to help me every step of the way. Something I found especially helpful was being able to receive professional advice on how to approach my personal essay. I can confidently say that his passion, knowledge, and interest to help students find the right university and facilitate the process was exactly what I needed. While many will recall the application process to universities as a stressful experience, I’ll remember it as an enjoyable one.
Hand-picking the best fitting institutions for me, pointing out details that I should include or exclude from my essays, and most importantly, laying down a path for me to follow for the next four years of my life. These are just a few of the many things my U CAN counselor helped me with. The university application process can be the most stressful and challenging period of time for a high school student, but having a great counselor can make this whole process feel like a breeze. I still remember the first meeting I had with my counselor. Not knowing where I wanted to study, let alone what I wanted to study, my counselor calmly, constructively, and carefully walked me through the whole process. At that moment, my family and I had realized that working with U CAN counseling was the best decision we could make. Working hand-in-hand with my incredible counselor for over two years provided me with the opportunity to construct elegant essays that got me into world-class institutions across America. Moreover, stuck in a dilemma between two academic program options, Business or International Relations, my counselor explained to me everything I needed to know about the majors and made sure I was content with my choice. I always tried my best to meet our internal deadlines and even though I couldn’t sometimes, my counselor was very understanding of my prior circumstances, deadlines, and commitments, and always encouraged throughout the process. His powerful, yet kind words are what pushed me to continually work hard and stay organized. One of the best pieces of advice that I got from my counselor was to do what I believe is best for me because and to not be influenced by the interests of others. It Is my immense pleasure to state that I will be attending the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business, out of the handful of other universities where we applied to, with a Presidential Scholarship. NONE of this would have been possible without my counselor.
I always knew that I wanted to study abroad. It seemed very intriguing but also incredibly overwhelming and scary. Therefore, having my U CAN College Counselor was probably the best decision I could have made.
Before changing my mind, my counselor helped me educate myself about philosophy and history of art. After limiting my search to Europe, I learned about different countries, universities, and programs. With my counselor’s help, I even visited a few unis before deciding to apply for Interior Design instead. Despite this shift, my counselor still had the best advice and many great contacts with admissions representatives at the relevant universities. The application process was quite complicated after deciding on nine European art schools. Being a non-native English speaker and a natural procrastinator, it was more than worthwhile to have someone on my side who guided me through the process, especially when I tried to understand the varying and complex requirements. My counselor’s experience allowed me to work on a perfectly suited schedule with plenty of time and little stress. He helped me formulate my ideas efficiently, focus my wording, and write professional application essays. In the end, I got accepted to all my dream universities, and now studying Interior Design at Glasgow School of Art.
Having now finished my first semester, I am convinced that without my counselor’s help, I would not be studying here in this city at one of the most renowned universities for interior design worldwide.
Starting the university application process, I was unsure and had a short list of universities I wanted to apply to. My counsellor helped open my eyes to so many other universities that I hadn’t even thought of, which helped me explore in much more detail what I wanted to do following high school. Additionally, what was great about working with my counsellor was that fact that my interests and what I wanted to do always guided our work. Our conversations proved to be incredibly helpful as I learned more and more about what might suit me and which universities would allow me to pursue this path best. Once the application process had begun, my counsellor helped me understand how to embody my personality and find my voice with the numerous essays I worked on, helping me always focus on being authentic. He was always available for me throughout the entire process, no matter how many times I needed to meet, and he helped me stay on track. With my counsellor’s help I was accepted into almost every university I applied to, which proved to be an unexpected challenge as I needed to choose between so many great opportunities. Despite initially feeling overwhelmed with my choices and unsure about what I would do, my counsellor’s knowledge and guidance allowed me to narrow down those choices to what was best for me and my interests. Following this, I was lost as I was no longer sure which was my first choice. With his knowledge and guidance, he helped narrow it down to what we believed would be the best choice for me. I couldn’t be happier than I am now at Imperial College London and I can say that without my counsellor helping me along the way it would have been much harder.
I truly wouldn't have been able to do half the work I did without my counselor’s assistance. He really kept me motivated and looking forward. My U CAN counselor was a mentor, guide, and friend. He stood by and supported me at all times. Our work together consisted of through video calls and rigours working sessions. My counsellor assisted me in finding the right university for me academically, socially, and overall where I would find my place best. As an IB student, I found that my counsellor was extremely mindful of the stressful deadlines I had to deal with; yet, he was persistent that we work hard and continuously. My counselor did more than help me understand how to attack my essays, advise my college choices, and guide the process, he developed an extremely important relationship with me as a student. I genuinely appreciate his help this year and I am so grateful I had the opportunity to work with him; my counselor was a pleasure and extremely helpful. Once again, thank you so much, U CAN College Counseling!
Half-way through high school, I was in a state of confusion neither did I know where I wanted to go for university, nor I did I have any idea of what area of engineering or technology I wanted to study. My U CAN counsellor, however, proved to be an invaluable guide and mentor throughout the whole university application procedure. From suggesting studying Artificial Intelligence in the Netherlands, to guiding me through my student visa application, I can say with confidence that my counsellor played a major role in providing me with what I see were the most important pieces of information I needed during my university application process. And although the decision was completely mine, he gave me his personal opinions on what university to pick when the time came to choose. Missing deadlines or misunderstanding emails from the university were impossible as my counsellor was always a few moments away from answering any question I had. Working with my counselor eliminated any of the normal anxiety experienced during this process. Out of all the decisions that had to be made during the last year, getting help from U CAN was definitely the most rewarding.
The college application process is one of the first times you feel like you have to make a long term decision of what you wanna study and where and it is a challenging one. Due to the many options, it's hard to sit down and choose one university. Thankfully I had a counselor that has helped me with the entire journey. Most importantly my counselor made sure that every deadline was met but also that I was happy and confident with my decision. I originally had a very fixed mindset on studying in the Netherlands, but after researching with my counselor we found an even better place for me in Switzerland. By investing time into my passions and my personality, my counselor really helped me find the best-fit university for me but, in particular, found an atmosphere and placed that I feel comfortable and happy in. I was able to successfully apply to my university and got accepted to my first choice and second choice universities.
My counselor was the driving force behind the success of my application process. He helped me determine which universities to apply to where his knowledge of university admissions and experience dealing with international students proved most valuable. He was always available to answer any questions I had and carefully worked with me on my applications and essays, providing key advice. I was successful in my application process with acceptances from Georgia Tech, Cornell, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, UC Berkeley, Imperial College London, UCL, and a few others. Though making a decision was challenging, my counselor helped me pinpoint pros and cons which ultimately led to me choosing UC Berkeley. I am extremely grateful to have him by my side and am excited to attend Berkeley as an engineering student in the fall.
Even within the short period of our work together, my counsellor managed to leave a lasting impression. He helped me out through everything from the initial confusing stages of deciding what and where to study, to considering which universities would be the best fit, to writing my application and even simply getting excited about what I will be studying. The interest and enthusiasm that was shown were infectious and made the whole process significantly less stressful. I am extremely thankful for all of his hard work.
My counselor helped me through a very tricky time. The summer before senior year, I moved from Houston overseas to Dubai. This move left me in a wash about my college applications. However, my counselor was able to help me organize my application, linking my career at my former and present high school by ensuring that I got letters of recommendations from here and there and making sure I was aware of my potential as an applicant and that I drew towards schools that would best suit me. Months later, we are at the end of the year, and I will be attending Cornell University this fall. I am very fortunate to have been in the hands of my counselor as they were able to guide me towards a University of my dreams.
