US College Admissions
Consulting Services
Students in India who want to study abroad in the US face competition from many applicants with excellent marks and test scores. Admission to a top US university depends on how you position yourself and show what makes you distinctive.
Through our elite US college admissions consulting, Former College Admissions Officers help students develop Strategic Positioning Narratives and personal statements that reflect their backgrounds, interests and potential contributions to each university.
Our consultants consider what each university looks for in its students, then help bring essays, teacher recommendations, activity lists, additional information and interviews together around that positioning strategy.
Study in the USA After Class 12
Planning to study in the USA after Class 12? A US undergraduate application brings together your academic record, extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendations. Solomon helps students in India present these elements as a strong, coherent application. For the best results, many students start as early as Class 9.
University requirements and deadlines can vary, so application preparation should sit alongside your Class 11 and 12 schoolwork and board examinations. Our consultants help you build a strategic university list and plan activities that support your application positioning.
Whether you are aiming for the Ivy League or another leading US university, our approach focuses on your academic interests, what sets you apart, and how to communicate your strengths to admissions officers.
