We have worked with many academically bright students (read: straight A’s) who seek help after getting a rejection letter.

83% of students we have worked with succeed on their first attempt.

How We Can Help

Our clients outperform standard acceptance rates by a huge margin, it’s so clear to us that they have a significantly better chance of getting an offer if they do it right the first time!

Launch To Your Future

 

Would you like a headstart in preparing for university?

With university admissions becoming increasingly competitive, students are hard-pressed to start preparations earlier to position themselves strategically. That can be challenging because students do not always know what they want to do so far ahead of their high school graduation.

The Launch programme is structured to guide students aged 15 to 17 to identify their interests through a self-discovery profiling tool, figure out and embrace their authentic selves, set their goals and strategise how to achieve them.

Regular check-ins with coaches will support and keep students accountable and on task so that they gain clarity and confidence about their future paths. Upon completion of the programme, students will have a strong foundation to put their university applications together.

Testimonials

Over 80% of our clients were accepted to NUS and NTU-Imperial MBBS programmes

We love it when our students share their success stories with us so we can brag about it.
