Personal guidance for students on the path to their
dream university

The question that may have been with you for a while — What do I want to study? Where do I want to go? Am I good enough? — takes on a new urgency in the final years of school. Most students are left to navigate this process alone. ARC Consultancy exists to change that.

Approach

Harvard-trained Mentoring

You know exactly where you want to go — or not yet. Either is perfectly fine.

Every student comes to us at a different point. Some already have a clear university list and know their intended subject. Others only know that they want to study abroad — at a top university in the USA, UK or Canada — and have no concrete idea yet of how that works.

Others are still in grade 9 or 10 and want to start building their profile early. ARC guides you from exactly where you are right now — all the way to submitting your application.

Three Starting Points —
One Solution

ARC guides students at every stage — whether you're just getting started or already close to submitting.

University list ready

You already have a university list and know what you want to study

Our consultants review your list together with you — is it realistic? Is it ambitious enough? Are there better alternatives you may not have considered? We give you honest feedback, support you with your essays and create a concrete timeline so you meet every deadline.

Goal: Study abroad

You know you want to do a bachelor's degree — but nothing beyond that

This is the ideal starting point for our full admissions consulting. We explain how the process works in different countries — the USA, UK, Canada, Europe. We help you identify which subjects align with your interests and show you which universities are within reach given your profile.

Grades 9–10 · Early start

You're still in grade 9 or 10 and want to get started early

The smartest thing you can do. Students who work with us in grade 9 or 10 have a decisive advantage: time to build a genuinely strong extracurricular profile that impresses Ivy League committees. Our consultants create a multi-year plan — so your application doesn't begin in grade 12.

Structured support for every step of your application

From assessing your current profile to the final submission — ARC guides you through the entire application process with a clear, honest and personal approach.

Profile Assessment

An honest evaluation of your grades, test scores and extracurricular activities — precise and without sugarcoating.

University List

Building a balanced application list: dream universities, realistic targets and safety options.

CommonApp Essay

Brainstorming and feedback for your Personal Statement — your voice, your story, always.

Supplemental Essays

Essays for Harvard, Yale, Oxford and every other university on your list — individually tailored.

Letters of Recommendation

Strategy and preparation for your teachers' recommendation letters — who to ask and how.

Interview Preparation

Targeted preparation for universities that conduct admission interviews — structured and practical.

SAT/ACT Guidance

Recommendations on test strategy and scheduling, matched to your target programmes and timeline.

Deadline Management

Complete timeline and deadline management across all applications — so nothing is left to chance.

For students who want more

Our Bachelor programme is designed for students who take their chances at the world's best universities seriously — regardless of where they currently stand in their process.

  • Students in grades 9–12 in Germany who want to apply to universities abroad

  • Students who want to be admitted to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Oxford, LSE, Cambridge or other top universities worldwide

  • Students seeking structured, ethical and personal admissions guidance

  • Students who want to start early and build a strong profile — years before grade 12

ARC Principle

"Students who start early don't win because they're smarter — they win because they had more time to truly develop."

Ivy League committees aren't looking for perfect grades. They're looking for students with a story — with depth, initiative and a clear arc between who they were and who they want to become. That arc takes time.

Harvard-trained Mentoring · Ethical Consulting · Based in Germany

As early as possible — ideally in grade 9 or 10. But ARC works with students at every stage, including grade 12 under time pressure. The earlier you start, the stronger your application will be.
We support applications to universities in the USA (CommonApp), UK (UCAS), Canada and Europe. Our particular strength lies in US Ivy League and UK Russell Group applications.
Both are possible. Our consulting sessions take place in German or English, according to your preference. The application documents themselves are written in English.
Yes — that is actually the most common starting point. A large part of our work consists of helping students figure out which universities and subjects truly suit them.
