Individual academic and sports counseling includes placement
facilitation to top US Universities and Ivy League Schools. Our
placement facilitation international team includes former admission
officers from Ivy League Schools and top MBA alumni from Harvard
University, University of Cambridge and the Wharton School of the
University of Pennsylvania, among others.
Getting into top
overseas universities is a painful challenge for most African
candidates, no matter how academically gifted they are. It can take
years of repeated applications to fulfill admission requirements for
preferred Universities, given that most applicants are not familiar with
the leadership requirements of top US universities. Official Admissions
Statistics for admission at Harvard University (2008-2009) show that
27,380 applications were made, of which 7.7% (2,095) were accepted while
25,285 were rejected.
African students literally spend hours on
the internet, looking for scholarships within and outside Africa.
Websites such as scholarship-positions.com are of assistance in
identifying Scholarships, Financial Aid Fellowship, Graduate College
Scholarships, PhD and Postdoctoral opportunities. The opportunity cost
of getting noticed, let alone getting a reply identified institutions is
extremely low!
Akad solve this problem through an individually
tailored admission program for realistic admission opportunities. This
matches candidate skills to prospective universities for admission
within a specific time period. For undergraduate admission, this begins
with SAT preparation, followed by helping the candidate meet specific
University Entry requirements that are often unknown to applicants.
The
AKAD Team guide individual students through 10 applications, and
guarantee a 100% refund if the student does not receive an offer from at
least one of the ten schools. Under the Gold and Platinum packages, you
will be guided through the application process by both the assigned
AKAD consultant, as well as a senior ex-admissions officer from an Ivy
League University.
