Why the reviews work
Each review quotes your child's own sentences, explains how a US reader will take them, and asks the questions that bring their story out. Their essay keeps sounding like them, which is exactly what the reader is looking for.

What we'd rather tell you before you pay anyone
- Cost
- At many private US universities, tuition, housing and living costs add up to more than $80,000 a year. For the F-1 student visa, the university's I-20 form requires proof you can fund at least the first year.
- Financial aid
- Only a handful of universities admit international students without looking at their finances and then cover their full need. Most offer internationals limited aid. Check each university's international financial aid page.
- Admission rates
- Many selective universities admit a smaller share of international applicants than American ones. A great essay makes an application stronger. It doesn't guarantee a yes.
