Sometimes the best laid plans go amiss, as a late decision to apply outside the UK and the need to take the ACT with extra time (for entry to European private universities) meant that a test centre in another country was the only option. When, on taking this test, the system failed, it seemed as if all was lost. However, quick and careful advocacy with the testing agency, the immediate couriering of a new test paper across the Atlantic Ocean, and the reopening of a London school to allow the test to be sat in the school holidays meant that the first problem was solved. However, this switch to a paper test meant that things would be tight to get the score back before one university’s application deadline, something which needed to be managed well. With a few hours to spare, after many calls and emails to the ACT in Iowa, the scores came through, and in due course the student was admitted to study at Bocconi in Milan.

Some students know they want to study business, and when looking at the options available to them in the UK decide that a European approach suits them best. When visiting business schools in Italy, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands, this student fell in love with all of them, meaning that a wide range of applications were going to be needed. With different testing policies, application deadlines, essay requirements and interview styles, a lot of overall planning was needed to manage the workload, with the student finally settling on IE University as his university destination.

An international student attending an English boarding school, this student aspired to a future as a journalist in her own country and was disappointed by the courses she found available to her in the UK. She also wished to pick up a further language as part of her studies, but to study a degree in English.

Working with us, she was able to draw up a shortlist of universities in Italy, France and Spain which matched her interests and study profile and was assisted in writing successful applications, eventually choosing to pursue her studies at University CEU San Pablo in Madrid.
