Don't take our word for it, take theirs

Working with Avanza took a huge weight off my shoulders when it came to the college application process. My coach pushed me toward goals I had set and helped me start initiatives I never had the momentum to begin on my own. I would recommend it to anyone who feels lost and does not know where to start - this is the right place to begin your path to college.

Avanza is an excellent program for students who want to attend a university in the United States but come from a different education system. It gives you real clarity on what the U.S. application process requires and makes it obvious what universities are looking for in an applicant.

Yes, spots for high school packages are open year-round. What can vary is each advisor's availability, so if you have a favorite coach, it's best to book ahead.

Do you guarantee admission to the best universities?

No one can guarantee that. What we do guarantee is the best possible version of your application.
