Consultation:
Experts understand qualifications, interests, budgets through telephonic, online, and offline meetings. The counselor carefully listens to the student’s goals, dreams and concerns without interrupting them. They may also ask additional questions to gain better insights into the student’s strengths, priorities and lifestyle preferences.
Profile Evaluation:
A detailed need analysis is conducted to evaluate suitable countries, universities, programs, and finances. With their analysis, the counselor then outlines a stepwise customized plan of action for the student’s consideration. This includes the list of top recommended countries and universities, the application process and deadlines, documentation requirements, approximate budget, potential funding options, and more.
Counselling Sessions:
One-on-one guidance helps set expectations and addresses concerns clearing misconceptions. Even after university selection, counselors remain available anytime for further guidance or changes as dynamic application cycles progress. Their continuous support boosts student confidence.
Documentation Management:
From drafting statements to collecting transcripts, our team offers end-to-end application support. Right from the concept stage, Cliftons ensures students are well-equipped to present the best versions of themselves in their applications.
