Graduate Admissions Planning Services

Elite-school mentors: our founders graduated from top U.S. universities such as Stanford, Columbia, and Cornell, and have worked in admissions offices, so they deeply understand admissions criteria and review processes. With extensive on-the-ground resources in the U.S., everything we know is first-hand — agencies based in China typically run six months to a year behind their U.S. counterparts. Essay mentors: all are accomplished graduates of top overseas universities; we match each student with a mentor in a relevant field who structures the essay around industry realities, and native-speaking mentors polish the language into a refined final draft. Top-tier resources: we partner with leading companies and universities to provide high-quality internship and research opportunities, producing strong recommendation letters that boost applications. Results-driven: no manipulation and no empty promises — elite-school mentors take full responsibility as your guides and lead students all the way to offers from top schools.

Applications are submitted only after both sides have discussed and confirmed the program list. Our Full-Support and VIP packages come with an admission guarantee: if you receive no offers at all, we refund the fee. In practice, we consistently help students win stronger offers than peers with comparable backgrounds.

We use a three-advisor team model: every student's application is handled end to end by a dedicated team of a consulting advisor, an application advisor, and an essay advisor.

Admissions committees comprehensively evaluate GPA, prerequisite coursework, TOEFL/IELTS (waived for students with overseas bachelor's degrees), GRE, internship and research experience, recommendation letters, resume, statement of purpose, supplemental essays, interviews, and more — so allow ample time for thorough preparation.

Our headquarters is in Manhattan, New York, with branch offices in China. All advisors responsible for applications work out of the New York headquarters, ensuring high professional standards and close communication with universities.

Essays are critical application materials, so our essay team works closely with every applicant with no limit on revisions — refining each draft from a professional standpoint until the student is fully satisfied.

Yes — it is one of the most common requests every year. Three things matter: completing the prerequisites for your target field (e.g., math and programming sequences for a switch to CS, calculus and statistics for business); choosing programs friendly to career changers (many interdisciplinary, employment-oriented master's programs explicitly welcome diverse backgrounds); and turning 'why the switch' into an evidence-backed narrative in your essays, not a one-line statement of interest. We start with a feasibility assessment, then decide whether to apply directly or strengthen your background first.

It depends. Many programs remain GRE optional, but optional does not mean ignored: if your GPA is on the low side, a competitive GRE score is the most direct academic proof; for top quantitative programs, a high score is still a plus. Conversely, if time is tight and the rest of your profile is strong, you can strategically target programs that explicitly do not consider the GRE. We verify each school on your target list against its current policy before setting your test-prep plan.

We recommend starting 12-18 months ahead: spend the first 6 months on positioning and background building (research/internships/test prep), move into essays and online applications 3-4 months before the application season, and focus on interviews in the 1-3 months after submission. Students who start in the spring of sophomore year or the fall of junior year have the most room for background planning.

Students with overseas bachelor's degrees (U.S./U.K./Canada/Australia) can usually waive TOEFL/IELTS, their recommenders come from professor networks admissions officers know well, and their transcripts need no third-party verification. Students from Chinese universities need language scores, some schools require transcript verification such as WES, and recommendation letters need extra attention to formality and credibility. We have proven playbooks for both — the differences mainly show up in the timeline and the document checklist.
