Why This Seminar Is Essential for Your Family
The path from UK boarding school to top US universities is more complex than most parents realize. While UK schools provide excellent academics, the US admissions process requires a completely different approach, one that starts much earlier than most families expect.
In this 60-minute seminar, you’ll discover:
- The 3 critical activities your child must complete during Year 10-11 that UK boarding schools rarely emphasize.
- Why strong grades and test scores aren’t enough for US universities, and what actually differentiates successful applicants
- The boarding school advantage paradox: How to leverage your child’s unique context without falling into common traps
- Timeline mistakes that cost students their dream university offers, and how to avoid them
- Real case studies of past students who successfully navigated this path (and those who didn’t)
You’ll leave with a clear action plan you can implement immediately.

“True North Education was an integral part of my college application process.”
When I planned ideas alone, I kept wondering if my topics were any good.
True North Education gave me immediate feedback on what worked and what didn’t.
They offered clear advice to make my story personal, concise, and engaging.

“Finally, I was accepted into my early decision school. I would recommend True North Education to anyone.”
There was only one and a half months left for me to apply, and I had underestimated the insane amount of work and research needed. It felt like mission impossible, but my mentor really made it happen with his patience, work ethic, and well-managed time schedule.

“Not only do they have the know-hows of college admissions, they genuinely cared."
My consultant was always patient even when my essay writing was on halt for quite a while, and understood my situation. Also having all the resources set up already (essay prompts, resume outline, university research outline) is really helpful for someone starting the application process.

The True North team met with my family and me and gave us guidance.
I started the application process in the summer.
The True North team met with my family and me, gave us guidance,
and supported me through every detail of the submission.
On 10 March, we had a video call, and I literally screamed when I received my acceptance letter to Webb.

“Just want to say thank you and I've always been proud to be a part of True North.”
Thank you all of my AC mentors at True North, for helping me on my application process and helping me reach the goal that I never thought I deserved. What I love about the people of TNE is that they help me learn to manage my time and work more efficiently, and never hesitated to give me advice about anything and everything.
