I'm genuinely grateful for all of the support and guidance ARCH has given me. I can confidently say that I would not have achieved my admissions results in the UK had it not been for the resources ARCH provided me with. While the application process for Oxford seemed incredibly daunting initially, my consultant and mytutors helped to break it down for me and made it far more manageable. I received invaluable feedback on my personal statement, especially in the early stages, making the writing process much less difficult than expected. Also, my tutors prepared me extremely well for the BMAT and the Oxford interviews. Thank you so much to Arch!

Journey at ARCH : US University Admissions Consulting
When I first started at ARCH, I had no experience at all with US universities. I went in to university counselling expecting a strict, deadline-based counselor who would drown any essay I wrote in a sea of red annotations. While the deadlines remained an unfortunate reality, my counselors were a brilliant mix of demanding and encouraging, so working with them was smooth sailing. No essay drowning occurred.
Well before the admissions process began, my counselors had already planned out my essay-writing timeline, and I was quite relaxed going into the process because I knew exactly when everything was due. They also gave me advice on what to do to improve my CV more over the couple years that I knew them. This was extremely useful, as I wouldn’t have thought of doing half the things that I did if it weren’t for them, and having 2 counselors meant that I got more advice, so that was great. Throughout the admissions process, not only did they keep me motivated to write the myriad of essays, their edits were also really helpful and I got to improve my own writing skills along the way. To prepare for interviews, I also had some mock interviews with another counselor. This was really beneficial because I had never done a school interview before, so the heads-up on what to expect and do was really appreciated and helped ease my anxieties about it. In the end, I’m really grateful to ARCH, especially my counselors, for helping me get through the treacherous sea that is US college admissions!

It also goes without saying that I am indebted to ARCH. I promise to work hard and reap what we have collectively sown. I greatly appreciate the assistance I receive during the test prep, essay prep and interview prep sessions.

We are tremendously grateful to everyone at ARCH who has contributed to our son’s academic and personal development. It is such a mammoth task to prepare a child who is barely ten or eleven to sit for various challenging assessments for entry to boarding schools in the UK. ARCH has made a strong commitment to having close communication so that the learning plan can be constantly reviewed and shaped to be effective. As parents, we are overjoyed to see the positive changes in our son from his cognitive ability to interview sills, personality and interests. Thanks again to ARCH!

During my boarding school application process, in the beginning my parents and I are unsure how we are going to organise my application as there is a list of things I have to do which includes several essays and questions for me to answer. I have a hard time coming up with what to write for my essays and I don’t know if there are of top quality. I also know that it will take a long time to edit my work and make everything perfect. I have to do all this alongside my SSATs and I worry if I can manage. However, with the assistance from ARCH everything becomes a lot easier. Throughout the process, ARCH assist me with brainstorming and structuring my essays. They guide me and help bring out the best in me and show me that I am capable. They strengthen my writing skills and they give me insights into studying at a boarding school. They help me improve my SSATs scores with practices and training. With a lot of guidance and hardwork, I am able to achieve the score that I am proud of. ARCH steadily prepares me for my future boarding school experience and now I am ready and confident to start a new chapter in my life.
