International Students

International Students face unique challenges when applying for acceptance to universities in the United States. Because we understand those challenges, we are able to guide the student through the application process and help them achieve their goal of attending a university in the United States. We have made our onboarding process very simple. Once you contact us, we will set up an initial consultation. During the consultation (which is free and provided online or via phone), we will assess your student's needs and give you a general idea of what to expect. After we answer your questions and address any concerns, you will receive our forms and contract via email. An in-depth video conference (3 hours) will be scheduled with the student and parents to develop the individualized plan for your student.

I liked how CollegeSmartboard also had yearly goals for life skills. I didn't know this was important but because Mrs. C. insisted on it, I persevered and I'm glad I did. I graduated school ready to move on to college and my parents had no doubts either. I am thankful to her.
