          WHY HIRE US?

The application process to private day schools, boarding schools, and colleges has become extremely competitive, especially since the advent of COVID and the pandemic’s global impact on the education industry. With each passing year, the application process to these programs becomes more complex and cumbersome as the schools implement new admissions requirements and criteria. In addition, some highly selective college preparatory private schools and colleges accept less than 10 percent of applicants, which makes it imperative that your student stand out amongst the thousands of other applicants who are just as accomplished as your child.

Research indicates that the application process takes the average student 100 hours to complete. Do you have the time and accurate insights about the admissions process to adequately guide your student? Did you know that missing a simple deadline, or failing to submit the correct application information can postpone your student’s admission by a full academic year?

At Global Academic Consultants (GAC), we assist domestic and international students with the academic admissions process to programs and institutions around the globe. We provide comprehensive services to students applying to college preparatory schools, both private day and residential boarding schools (traditional college preparatory, therapeutic, faith-based, sports-focused, performance arts, and military). We also provide admissions consulting services to those students applying to colleges and universities, summer and study abroad programs, and graduate and professional programs (law school, medical school, etc.). Additionally, we assist youths who have challenges (learning, emotional, behavioral) with placement in academic therapeutic, wilderness therapy, inpatient psychiatric, and drug rehabilitation programs.  

Our clients hire us to guide them through the prep school application process, and then the vast majority re-engage us to continue assisting their students with the college and graduate school admissions processes. We offer superior admissions guidance and strong emotional support to our families. We recognize that family dynamics, demands of the application process, and the vacillating moods and behaviors of teenagers can cause immense stress for families, so we utilize humor, compassion, and empathy to support our clients.   

Unlike many of our competitors, we do not have specific recruitment agreements with any schools, nor do we receive financial compensation of any kind from the schools  we recommend to our students.

Therefore, we present students with academic options that are truly the best fit for the student and not our bottom line.
