Types of students we work with
We work with all kinds of students to help them achieve their academic goals. In most cases, there are three types of students that come to Think Smart Admissions for help:
1. Students who already have a clear goal
These are dedicated students striving for a spot at a dream university, often institutions like Oxford, Harvard, Cambridge, Yale, or LSE.
We help with crafting a flawless application, from essay to interview, to bring that dream to life.
2. Students who are exploring their options
These students are typically less sure of where they might want to go, or even which course to study.
We assess academic records and interests to help guide these students down the right path to a university and course they will thrive in.
3. Neurodiverse learners
The nature of the application process of most universities across the US, EU and UK comes with many challenges for neurodiverse students.
Our SEND-qualified Admission Experts offer personalised support for neurodiverse students, helping to navigate the difficulties of the process and prepare for the next step.
