Admission to 3 universities


USA with a scholarship

Student request:

Diera contacted us with a desire to enroll in the United States. She was unsure whether to apply in 2023 or wait until 2024. Despite her low SAT and IELTS scores, we decided to apply immediately—it was important to her to leave as soon as possible.

What was before:

  • Experience teaching English in groups and individually.
  • Completed a nutrition course + practical training: peer consultations and a personal food diary.
  • Participation in school recitation competitions and volunteer projects.

At first glance, her profile seemed modest. But Diera had the most important thing—a desire to develop and a strong personal story, which we focused on.

Work process:

We helped Diera unlock her potential and put together a competitive package of documents.

Under the guidance of her supervisors, Diera wrote a research paper on nutrition, demonstrating her interest in research.

Participation in dance competitions at the local and regional levels has strengthened her profile and demonstrated her activity outside of her studies.

She completed additional courses in nutrition, confirming the seriousness of her interest in the specialty.

Joining a book club highlighted my leadership and ability to lead discussions.

She organized charity events that reflected her social responsibility.

With the help of SelfStartEnglish teachers, I improved my English and successfully resat the IELTS.

Together with us, she wrote an essay based on her personal story: her father’s illness motivated her to study nutrition and help others.

I received letters of recommendation, wrote a compelling resume, and submitted applications early, despite the late start to preparation.

Result:

Diera was accepted to three American universities: Augustana College, Widener University, and the University of South Dakota, and received scholarships at all of them.

Diera chose Augustana College, where she received $45,000 in funding per year.

Diera’s story shows that even if it seems late to start and your exam results aren’t perfect, with the right strategy, anything is possible. The main thing is to decide and take action. Take the first step toward your dream – sign up for a free consultation!
