Final review
A senior review tests coherence, specificity and institutional fit across the complete application.
Programme questions
Before you decide.
01Do you work only with Ivy League+ applications?+
We work across Ivy League+ and other highly selective US universities. The final list is built around the student’s academic goals, preferences and financial position.
02Can Aureus help with financial-aid strategy?+
We can incorporate aid constraints into list and round strategy and help families organise the application workflow. Formal financial advice and completion of official declarations remain with the family.
03When should US admissions support begin?+
Long-term work can begin in Grades 9–11; application execution usually intensifies in the year before enrolment. Urgent and late-stage cases are also accepted.
