    Hi everyone! My name is Anastasia, and I once independently applied to and was accepted into a bachelor’s program at the University of Vienna, developing my own individual strategy and studying all the specifics of applying to Austrian universities. Now I’m planning to change my field of study, and I know from personal experience that nothing is impossible on this path either.

    During my time working at the company, I not only learned in detail the specifics of applying to various programs and degree levels in European countries, but I also had the opportunity to meet many intelligent and talented students whose successes I am proud of.

    📚 Among the students I’ve worked with are programmers, engineers, foreign language teachers, international relations specialists, theater and film actors, and fashion designers. I helped these students get accepted into universities such as: Sciences Po (France), The Hague UAS (Netherlands), NHL Stenden (Netherlands), Macromedia (Germany), INSA Lyon (France), Sapienza (Italy), Politecnico di Milano (Italy), Howest (Belgium), and Marangoni (Italy).

    Good day! It’s a pleasure to meet you!

    I made the decision to apply to a university in another country in a single day, at the beginning of October 2022 (spoiler alert: I received the desired offer at the beginning of March 2023). Choosing between the USA and Europe, carefully researching universities and evaluating my strengths and weaknesses, I settled on Italy, and was accepted into all 5 universities I applied to (Sapienza University of Rome, University of Pavia, University of Parma, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore).

    I have also repeatedly helped friends and acquaintances with choosing educational institutions and programs, writing and reviewing motivation letters, and providing advice on applying not only to Italy, but also to other countries in Europe, the USA, and Asia! Therefore, I know for sure that a well-defined strategy and persistent, sometimes meticulous work are the main principles for achieving your goal 😎

    I will be happy to provide any help and support on this confusing but very exciting journey! As they say, only the sky is the limit (although I believe that even the sky isn’t the limit, even when it comes to the Ivy League 😉).

    Let’s go! 🚀

    My name is Elizaveta, and from now on I will be your mentor! 🙂

    Let’s get acquainted! Let me tell you about my background:

    🌟 I was admitted to Franklin and Marshall College, a private American university, where I am studying “Neuroscience: Biological Foundations of Behavior” (and every year I make it onto the Dean’s List for perfect grades in all subjects!).

    🌟 I received 90% funding, as well as a work-study opportunity (to cover personal expenses).

    🌟 I am a researcher in two leading laboratories at the university, focusing on Development of Moral Values ​​and Face Perception.

    My experience has allowed me to understand that the application process is an interesting (and, of course, challenging) journey that not only leads to your dream but also helps you learn a lot about yourself! I am very happy to go through this journey with you and share all my knowledge!

    Hi, my name is Elizaveta! I would be happy to be your admissions advisor. Let me tell you a little about myself and my experience 😊

    In 2019, I had the opportunity to participate in an academic mobility program at the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, ​​where I completed my bachelor’s degree and conducted my final research at one of the best European research centers! After that, I was invited to a master’s program in “International Relations, Security and Development.” I also received offers from the Universidad de Barcelona and Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, and a scholarship from Universitat Pompeu Fabra that covered 50% of all expenses. But my heart remained with the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona!

    These achievements inspired me to help other students. I started supporting younger colleagues in applying to and receiving scholarships in various European countries, such as Spain, France (Sciences Po), Italy (Università di Bologna), Belgium (University of Antwerp), Ireland (Trinity College Dublin), and Finland. As well as in the USA: University of Chicago, Syracuse University, and University of South Carolina.

    My journey has given me valuable experience working with documents, interacting with admissions committees, and building a personal brand. I look forward to collaborating with you to unlock your potential and help you achieve your goals.

    Undergraduate Admissions Mentor

    Hi! A little about me 🙂

    In 2020, I enrolled at the University of Lodz in the “International Relations and Political Studies” program, receiving a scholarship covering 50% of the tuition fees. During my bachelor’s degree, I had the prestigious opportunity to participate in Erasmus+ exchange programs in countries such as the Czech Republic (Charles University), Croatia (University of Zagreb), and Turkey (Istanbul Aydin University).

    Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s degree in “Human Rights and Multi-level Governance” at one of the best universities in Italy, the University of Padua. Here I receive funding of approximately 8000 euros per year, and I am pursuing my Master’s degree free of charge!

    During my Master’s studies, I also worked closely with the international office. This allowed me to learn everything that the admissions committee generally pays attention to when making decisions. Working with the university gave me a clear understanding of all the intricacies of applying to European universities 😌

    With this knowledge, I helped my friends and acquaintances receive offers from universities in Italy (University of Turin, University of Bologna), Hungary (Eötvös Loránd University), France (Claremont Graduate University), and Poland (Warsaw University of Technology).

    I will gladly share my knowledge and experience to help you achieve your goal and get accepted into your chosen university. Together we will make your dream of studying abroad a reality! 😉
