    • Get personalized attention–With so many universities to choose from, how do you find the best match? This is where you need an overseas university application genie, and that’s what I do! I look at your potential, and study field, and together we complete the process.  No late nights surfing the net, no scouring their webpage after page looking for protocol. By getting to know you I will identify and recommend universities that will be right for YOU.

 

    • Save on university cost— University education is expensive.  I will demystify the financial aid process and help you identify the types of scholarships available to you. If we can save, we will!

 

    • Be the purple cow: Make your application stand out!- With universities having thousands of applicants to choose from, having the right guidance with completing your application and college essays can make all the difference between being accepted or not. With over 20 years in the applications field and a high success rate, you will get professional hands-on guidance to help your application stand out from the rest.

 

    • Relax! You are in safe hands: The application process can be complex, confusing, and daunting. I will help you manage all the pieces by developing a timeline for all the steps involved. From taking standardized tests (SATs) to submitting your applications. I will also answer any questions that arise along the way. You will be prepared, taken care of, and have peace of mind.
    • Your Overseas Applications PA: As if writing exams and giving it your all is not tough enough, you will also have to make time for the application process.  Breathe… I have a system in place that will keep you on track, reminding you what happens when; giving you deadlines and details in the midst of a busy school year.

 

Your future is worth the investment.
The University Advisor can help YOU reach YOUR dream.

The biggest benefit of working with Wendy of The University Advisor was having peace of mind in dealing with someone who "knew all the ropes". Wendy's knowledge of the universities is extensive and she has a calm, professional manner in such a stressful time… Working with Wendy was absolutely the best decision...  It Saves time, money, and endless frustration.  Katie found Wendy's guidance and knowledge immensely helpful.  With the Pandemic, Lockdown, online schooling, Matric, June exams, Prelims,  finals and the added stress of finding the right university, Wendy's help was well worth the investment.

Wendy really just made the whole process so much easier. The assignments she set really helped me to make sure I was on the right track and getting things done on time. While I was doing my application I was also studying so it really helped me to have everything I needed to do on GuidedPath. The help with the personal statement was invaluable. I would definitely recommend working with Wendy. Applying to universities is very stressful but Wendy is always kind, supportive, and there for whatever help you need.

The different platforms that need to be used, such as the Common App,  appear incredibly daunting when completing your application alone. Being able to ask Wendy for advice on the smallest of details was a big benefit. . Sometimes you just need someone to give you a "yes or no" answer and without Wendy, I would have spent countless hours on google trying to find the correct answer. it is reassuring being able to converse with Wendy, who is an expert in the field, and ask for her advice on your application. It makes the process less daunting and more enjoyable.

Deciding to choose The University Advisor at Varsity Abroad and more specifically working one on one with Wendy is one of the best decisions I have made. Wendy’s vast knowledge of the ins and outs of the application process overseas is absolutely priceless. More so, I had the privilege of working with the most organized, punctual, humorous and hard-working women. Thank you so much for the opportunities you opened up for me Wendy. I can wholeheartedly say that anyone who chooses to work with Wendy will have the same door-opening opportunities as I did.

Wendy's personal touch unlike other companies made me feel at peace with the entire process. Personally, writing essays and preparing for SATs were the most daunting part as the writing style is incredibly different from the type of essays I would usually write. Wendy's editors made this process a breeze. Coming from the NSC curriculum, SAT questions are asked in a different manner and Wendy's comprehensive SAT prep course was a lifesaver. As daunting as the process might be, trust the process and most importantly, trust Wendy. She knows what she is doing and will do everything in her power to aid you through this process.

I applied to universities in both the UK and the US.  Wendy knew both systems inside out & structured a complete project plan around my applications.  We met regularly which helped me select the colleges I wanted to apply to and then always kept me focused on the key next steps.  Wendy encouraged me throughout but also pushed me in those moments when I needed it most. Wendy took away so much of the complexity, stress, and uncertainty in the process.  It’s a lot of work and it can be quite daunting, but the structure and advice Wendy provided kept me on track and helped me improve the overall quality of my applications.
