With over 12 years of dedicated experience, our team specializes in admissions counseling for students aiming to excel in universities and private junior high and high schools across the United States, Canada, and the UK.

 

At BTA Culture and Education Consulting, we pride ourselves on our personalized approach—meticulously identifying institutions that best align with your needs and qualifications, guiding you seamlessly through the application process, and offering expert advice on crafting compelling application essays. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our 100% success rate, ensuring that every student not only gains acceptance but also secures a place in one of their top-choice schools, including prestigious institutions ranked in the top 50 or top 100 in the United States. Let us be your bridge to a brighter educational future.

​

Because we strive to help you gain admissions to the best school for you, we begin the admissions process with an in-depth 1½ to 2-hour free consultation with student and parent(s) to make an initial assessment and begin a discussion about potential schools. This provides us with the opportunity to gather information and comprehensively evaluate your academic and extracurricular records, make recommendations based on your strengths and weaknesses. In addition, you will be able to assess whether you want to work with us.

How Our Application Service Works

 

 

Creating a School List

We work with students to create a personalized list of schools — the right fits for individual needs, interests, and qualifications — and give you an honest assessment of your chances of getting in.

 

Application Planning, Timeline, and Organization

We will help you create a manageable schedule, ensuring you save time, stay on track, and meet application deadlines.

​

Application Presentation

We work with students to help them put together an application that properly emphasizes what they have accomplished in a way that allows admissions officers to understand the perspective and contributions they’ll bring to campus, and make them stand out.

 

Essay Assistance

We help students present their best possible personal statements and application writing to schools, writing that presents a unique story that shines the best light on the real you.

 

Recommendations

We guide students on who to ask, how to ask, and what to ask for in a recommendation.  We provide suggestions to identify the best people from whom to request letters of recommendation.
