The experience you’re looking for.
Admissions is about more than just test scores and grades. Schools take a holistic approach to evaluating applications, considering activities, interests, and other factors outside of numbers. Next Step Education Advisors take that same holistic approach when counseling students.
Our biggest asset and differentiator is – and always has been – our exceptional team of advisors, all of whom are former admissions officers from highly selective colleges and universities. Leveraging their prior admissions experience, NSE Advisors empower clients with inside knowledge, direct engagement with schools, and actionable guidance that enables them to stand out and get admitted to the schools of their choice. We work with our clients on every aspect of the admissions process – from early planning to managing risks associated with international studies. Our program ensures high engagement, commitment, and responsiveness.
Over the years, we have worked with thousands of students from around the world. The results are clear: we consistently place more than 90% of our clients into one of their top three choices, and our clients are, on average, four times more likely to be admitted with us than if they apply on their own.
We invite you to learn more about NSE, and we look forward to supporting you in the next step.
