Overview
U.S. college admissions are holistic. We help Canadian high school students plan a balanced Common App strategy across reach, target and likely schools, and prepare the materials that make each application competitive.
How U.S. applications differ from Canadian applications
U.S. admissions weigh course rigour, GPA, activities, recommendations and essays together. Canadian admissions are mostly academic with short supplementary forms. Families often plan both pathways in parallel — see Canada University Application Planning.

Essay planning guidance
We provide structure, brainstorming and feedback for personal and supplemental essays. Students do their own writing. We do not ghostwrite essays and we do not guarantee admission to any school.
