Early Counseling + Test Prep

Embarking on this process with enough time makes a world of
difference in the end result. Through one-on-one counseling
sessions, we help students build their résumés and explore their
academic interests and dream schools. Not having to make crucial
decisions about their future under the pressure of looming
deadlines allows students to enjoy this exploration phase much
more. Additionally, it allows them to strengthen their academic
foundations well before their college application year.

AP Computer Science Principles

HigherEdge took the college application process that is tedious, stressful, and intense and ironed it out into a cohesive plan that I could follow and modify according to my needs. The support everyone gave me - from test preparation to essay editing - made me feel like I could aim higher and higher. I think that if it weren't for the encouragement I received at HigherEdge, I wouldn't have had the confidence to apply to Harvard.

The HigherEdge team was an essential guide when it came to applying for a master’s degree. Their help ranged from editing essays and my CV to reviewing financial aid applications. My counselor’s advice was a game-changer: she helped me evolve from a standard candidate to an outstanding applicant. I’m very grateful for their support.

I can't express how helpful and reassuring the HigherEdge team was during the essay-editing process. I'm not always the most confident writer, but the collaborative editing process with the team actually made writing my essays fun! Yuanzhen also provided lots of useful information both as a counselor and as a senior (in fact, she introduced me to Comp Lit, which is now my intended major). My counselors at HigherEdge definitely made the application process enjoyable instead of stressful. I'm very grateful. 🙂
