TESTIMONIALS

It’s no secret that our Aureus approach works and here’s what our satisfied and accomplished clients have to say about us.

As an Indonesian living in the small town of Semarang, I had no idea about US College Application Process. Luckily, I had my Aureus counselor beside me. She guided me through each step one by one, from college selection, SAT/ACT tests, essays, until the interviews. With her brainstorming, I could reveal my hidden talents and exhibited them in the essays, making my application look as holistic as possible. I could produce the best essays I have ever written. And more, I could achieve the almost impossible dream: getting into an Ivy League school!
Lorraine
LorraineBrown University
To me, the college application process was like navigating through a labyrinth. Apart from preparing the usual essays, references and other supplementary materials, I had to deal with 4 different application systems: UCAS, Common App, plus the University of Wisconsin and Purdue University Application Systems! But luckily for me, my Aureus admissions counselor was always there to help me. She not only helped with the nitty gritties such as editing my essay, but also helped me identify my application core messages. Most importantly the brainstorming sessions I had with her helped me understand myself better as an applicant and as a person.
Jiali

As I look back at the tedious college admissions process that confronted me months ago, I am very grateful to have the guidance of Aureus. Like many of my peers, I was initially lost in the complex university application process. Thankfully, my admissions counselor gave me timely and valuable advice to help me present myself in the best possible light through the ever-insufficient space on the application forms. I am most grateful towards my admissions counselor for her help in the brainstorming of ideas and the eventual writing process.

I just checked the online admissions portal and am absolutely delighted to tell you that I have received an offer from NUS to read medicine. Thank you so much for all your help during the application process!

The comprehensive guidance and resources provided by Aureus Consulting have really helped me in gaining an offer from my dream school.
Xiao Yu

Being an international student, I found the U.S. School application really tough and tedious. When I first started on my application, I realized how little I knew about myself. Brainstorming for the unique points is the most difficult task that I have ever encountered. Furthermore, since there are so many schools in the U.S., choosing the right school can also be really tough! Thankfully, my counselor is always there for me. She has accompanied me for almost one year, helping me in choosing schools that suit me the most, brainstorming for ideas, editing my essays... The most priceless part is that she taught me not only how to apply, but also the skills to market myself. With the great help from my counselor, I am admitted to 7 out of 10 schools that I applied, including UCLA and the University of Washington--Seattle!
Wang

It was a wonderful journey working with my consultant. The whole consulting process helped me in not only getting an offer from my target school, but building my personal brand, communication skills and confidence, which you appreciate for life. The Aureus consultants will literally "unlock your potential"!
Nagatoshi

Since I have gotten very close to my consultant, I was able to unlock a lot of ideas for my essays without feeling strained or embarrassed to express my background or personal life. I felt confident to submit my application and hope to be able to work with her again in the future.
James

I consulted Aureus for interview coaching. Before the coaching, I felt rather nervous and unconfident about myself. However, my consultant reassured me that I am going to do well and taught me how to develop a personal branding clearly.
Shuyang

My consultant helped me a lot to structure my applications and upgrade them. She gave me a lot of insights into how to deliver the messages to the admissions officers more effectively.
Yosuke

The admissions consultant has been a great help in my college application process, and because of her I was able to succeed. I started early on the application process and had no idea about it and where to start from, but with the help of my consultant, I was able to understand the process and start on the application with the correct guidance. She created an app tracker for the schools and I was able to keep track of the things I need to do and complete. I was able to start my essays strongly thanks to the brainstorm and notes she made during our interviews / questionnaires, and gave me some examples for a broader idea. She also guided me through the common app with great detail, and I was able to fill the information without a mistake. The admissions consultant is very friendly, so working with is very easy and not bothersome. I am very thankful to the services and the results Aureus Consulting has brought me.
Felitasari

My consultant helped me with my essay by telling me what to get rid of, shorten my essay and make it clear. She helped me sell myself in the best possible way in interviews. This helped me have a solid chance to get into my dream school. Definitely recommend.
Elise

What impressed me most about working with Aureus was the holistic nature of their services. Instead of simply working towards getting a place in any university, my counselor helped me discover a lot about my motivations to study medicine and my preferred learning environment. She went above and beyond in developing my confidence in speaking and my ability to communicate in writing and various social situations My counselor did not simply guide me through the application process, or prepare me for the specific tasks of personal statement or interview. She developed my abilities so that I would be able to tackle those obstacles, and other facets of life. Her work made me worthy of the university that accepted me.
