USA Undergraduate Admissions Consulting
Are you applying to US colleges?
The US college admissions process can be confusing and frustrating, to say the least. Each college has unique requirements, ranging from what standardized tests it recognizes to how many years of a foreign language you'll need to take.
With more students applying to American universities than ever before, admission to US colleges is becoming increasingly competitive. Choosing where to spend the next four years is not an easy task and completing your applications can be stressful and confusing. But it doesn't have to be—Kaplan can help. Work one-on-one with a trained admissions professional who can help you navigate all aspects of the US college planning and application process.
Admissions Consulting can be purchased on its own, or in conjunction with an SAT Preparation Course as the SAT Premium Package – saving you £200.
Why Kaplan?
Personalized Guidance
Kaplan carefully matches you with a consultant based on your achievements, interests and target schools. Your consultant will work with you closely so that he or she can offer specific advice about your college process—advice you won't find in books, websites, or seminars.

When you register for consulting, a member of our Academic Team will contact you to discuss your needs and requirements and to assign you a consultant. The consultant will then get in touch with you to set up a first meeting, usually an hour long, at which you will discuss your academic and personal goals, and set out a plan of action. Much of your work together will be done remotely - by phone, email or Skype - and independently, when the consultant works on your behlaf.
Your Kaplan consultant can assist you with every stage of the admissions process.
