Course and qualification strategy
A review of course fit, AP or IB requirements, academic evidence and the choices that must be made early.
Oxford & Cambridge · United States
Oxbridge admissions consultants for US students.
Aureus helps US applicants navigate a course-specific UK process, translating AP, IB and school evidence into an academic case and preparing the exact test and interview demands attached to the course.
Designed for
For US families facing an unfamiliar, subject-first application.
- US high-school students applying to Oxford or Cambridge
- AP and IB applicants who need a course-specific academic plan
- Students preparing for TARA, TMUA, ESAT, LNAT or UCAT from the US
- Applicants coordinating UCAS with Common App deadlines and recommendations
The local brief
Oxbridge is not a British version of the Common App.
Oxford and Cambridge select for a specific course. The application therefore turns on subject readiness, academic evidence, the relevant admissions test and the ability to think with a tutor—not a broad catalogue of personal attributes.
Aureus translates US transcripts, AP or IB choices and extracurricular work into the evidence the course can actually use. Sessions are coordinated across US time zones and the UK selection calendar.
What is included
A US-to-Oxbridge plan without category errors.
Subject development
Reading, problem work and tutorials build depth beyond the standard US high-school syllabus.
UK admissions tests
Diagnostic and timed preparation for the assessment required by the target course and cycle.
Tutorial-style interviews
Live academic questioning teaches the student to expose useful reasoning and respond when the problem changes.
How it works
Translate, specialise, test and interview.
Read the complete file
We review academics, school context, current materials, testing, activities and every relevant deadline before recommending a programme.
Set the selection strategy
Course, university and application choices are made around the student’s strongest evidence and the way the target institutions actually select.
Assemble the specialist team
Subject mentors, application strategists, test tutors and interview coaches are assigned only where they create real value.
Pressure-test the result
Senior review joins the work into one coherent application and resolves weak points before submission or selection.
Questions families ask
Before you begin.
01Can a US student apply to both Oxford and Cambridge?+
No. Undergraduate applicants normally choose one of Oxford or Cambridge in a cycle. Aureus helps assess course and institutional fit before that decision.
02Which AP scores do Oxford or Cambridge require?+
Requirements vary by course and university. We check the current official entry requirements against the student’s AP plan and broader transcript.
03Can you coordinate UCAS and Common App work?+
Yes. One calendar can manage both, while the academic Oxbridge case and broader US application remain appropriately distinct.
04Do you offer interview-only help in US time zones?+
Yes. Interview preparation is delivered online and scheduled across US time zones subject to the relevant subject specialist’s availability.
