“ARCH’s admissions counseling is unlike that of any other provider. It is tailor-made

to each and every individual. The speed and versatility provided by the US team

is of extreme efficiency. Beyond personal statements, the UK counseling’s strength lies in preparation for interview. Given the interview myth that surrounds Oxbridge interviews, ARCH gives one an idea of

interviews, and more importantly, guidelines for preparation.”

“I am delighted to inform you that my

daughter passed her CLC Early Assessment

and has been offered a place. She did well

enough for the admissions tutor to comment

that she had every confidence that she

would pass the test and could, potentially,

be a scholarship candidate! My daughter

and I wanted to thank you for all your help

and support in getting her to this stage.”

A.D.,Cheltenham Ladies’ College offer

“I think the preparation helped my personal

statement and my interview the most, as

it directed me in a clearer direction as to

how to approach legal questions and to be

more focused on issues. It also helped me

develop my interest further through engaging

in legal conversations and thinking more

about legal topics. It made me feel engaged

with the subject and ready for university.”

C.C.,Law - University of Cambridge

“ARCH helped me by giving me much needed

tuition for the UKCAT, advice on choice of

medical schools and the intensive interview

training. What truly sets ARCH apart is how

much they care for your application and

success. I would highly recommend joining

Duke…I cannot thank you more for your help.”

I.W.,Duke University

“Having applied to US, UK and HK universities,

I found ARCH to be a great help in preparing

for all these competitive yet very different

strong team of tutors who were experienced

tutors gave me much valuable advice for

the SATs and application writing skills.”
