Requirements

  • A desire to apply (or help a child apply) to U.S. colleges or universities (undergraduate or graduate).
  • Basic reading, writing, and computer/internet access — all materials are delivered digitally, self-paced.

Description

Navigating U.S. college admissions — especially as an international student or first-generation college-applicant — can feel overwhelming, confusing, and expensive. Traditional college-counseling services often cost thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, while DIY “go-alone” strategies risk costly mistakes.

This US College Admissions Consulting – Complete Insider Guide solves this problem. Designed by experienced professionals at ScaleUP USA, this comprehensive, self-paced, video-based program puts you — and optionally your parents — in the driver’s seat. For just a fraction of the cost of traditional consulting, you get a full roadmap: from planning and major selection, through application, financial aid, and enrollment, all the way to building a global career path.

Whether you're a U.S. high-schooler, an international student, or a parent guiding your teen — this course delivers:


  • Over 100 easy-to-follow video modules, accessible worldwide, anytime.

  • Practical guidance on selecting best-fit colleges, crafting standout applications, and securing financial aid.

  • Strategies for standardized tests (SAT/ACT), major selection, personal branding, savings, and more.

  • A flexible, self-paced model: learn on your own schedule, with family involvement encouraged.

  • Transparent pricing — high value, low cost; a smarter alternative to expensive consultants.

Enroll now, take control of your future — and turn college dreams into reality, affordably and confidently.


Why This Course Stands Out:


  • Created by experienced educators and professionals who understand both U.S. and international perspectives.

  • Designed for students and their parents, enabling shared decision-making and family-level planning.

  • Covers the full college-career journey — not just admissions: major selection, financial aid, and career planning.

  • Affordable and accessible: digital, self-paced and low-cost — enabling access to quality planning for students worldwide.
