Review of university admission, Elena Matveenko

I am very pleased with how Ksenia Starostina and her assistants helped my daughters, Kira and Zlata, students of the British school King William's college, enroll in universities in the UK. The girls studied in the IB program and, as expected, received high scores: 38 and 41. However, we considered it necessary to maximize the chances of success and relied not only on the help of the school. And they didn’t regret it! After all, one of the daughters even received a scholarship, which is rare in British universities!

First, the daughters noted that early work on the personal essay in the summer before the last year of the IB school program helped them slowly understand the format and content of the essay, write it quickly and send their applications to universities quite early, when all of them classmates were just figuring out what it was  and “what is it eaten with?”

Throughout the summer, Ksenia’s team worked on correcting the essay so that the girls could present themselves to the university as much as possible, reveal their potential, demonstrate their creative achievements, and their path to the desired profession.

Secondly, the girls learned the basics, so to speak, of navigating through university portals, where and what to look for, how to fill out all kinds of forms, forms, letters, etc.

Four out of five universities required Zlata to provide a creative portfolio, and Ksenia’s team included an exceptional specialist in the field of fashion and design, with extensive experience in the industry. For each university, its own portfolio was created taking into account  requirements of universities, including even taking into account shades of color in works.

First “offers” (offers) from universities were received while some classmates were still writing their personal essays. All that remained was to decide which of them to prefer; however, what helped make your first choice was visiting, on the recommendation of Ksenia’s team, the so-called open days at the university for those who had already received their “offer,” that is, are already potential students.  

It is at such events that you can  get to know the courses in more detail, see the material base, talk with students who are already studying, and even take part in professional master classes.

Kira’s university has provided an opportunity for foreign students to apply for a scholarship, which is provided as a discount on the first year of study; for this it is also necessary to write an essay and answer special questions. Ksenia’s team successfully conducted a consultation, and the scholarship was received.< /p>

After enrolling in universities, Ksenia and her team were constantly in touch, advising on how to expedite the receipt of CAS required for applying for a visa, you can also find out from them all the nuances of paying for tuition, and how to request an invoice from the university.

It’s always a pleasure to work with specialists.

Of course, according to CAS, huge respect to Anna Nikolaeva, first of all, it was she who helped Zlata find the right phone number, after calling the right department, they wrote a letter THEMSELVES, asking them to speed up the work for Zlata. And it was received  the long awaited CAS. And then some of Zlata’s guys still don’t have CAS or visas and don’t make it in time for the beginning of the first week of training. And her professionalism in obtaining visas – no comments at all.
