Building a profile and maximising your chances of success
– Morrisby Test

Your application to study in the US needs to stand out by emphasising your personal academic interests. The individual coaching sessions with Consultants and Mentors will help you to identify, expand and demonstrate these interests.
The reading list will help you to confidently write your application essay, since you will not be dependent on inspiration, but well prepared to tackle the task. Each reading list will be personalised and subject- specific.
Your Consultant will also suggest and discuss a number of options – such as useful study trips abroad, attending summer school, enrolling on short academic and language courses – to strengthen and enhance your application.
Submitting your application to study in the USA
We will carefully support, check, or complete the online application to any university in the USA, individually, or via the Common Application system.
Preparation for SAT entrance exam
Students intending to study in the USA will need to pass SAT entrance exams and an English proficiency test (IELTS). The higher-ranked universities will obviously require higher pass grades and students need to be professionally prepared, especially for the SAT exam.
