FAQ

What is better: Full support or mentoring? Плюсик

Everything depends on the applicant’s needs, their personal qualities, and their “point A.” With Full Support, the prospective student needs to worry about virtually nothing; our experts handle 90% of the tasks. Mentoring, on the other hand, requires more involvement from the applicant, but experts will still be there every step of the way.

At what stage can you come to us? Плюсик

If you’ve already started preparing on your own, we can still hire you. During the initial consultation, we’ll analyze your needs and determine a suitable rate.

Why do we work with personal branding? Плюсик

Because we know that even a perfect transcript doesn’t guarantee admission. For the admissions committee to choose you, you must demonstrate your personal qualities, achievements, and motivation. This can only be achieved through a strong personal brand.

Do we have an installment plan? Плюсик

Yes, you can pay for our services in installments. Our manager will find the most convenient terms specifically for you.

Are there any bonuses and gifts? Плюсик

When you pay for any plan in one payment, you’ll receive your choice of gifts: up to four exam preparation lessons, a list of external scholarships, free admission to one university, or a cash discount. This offer is valid for the first 10 students per month.
