Is it better to work virtually with an admissions consultant in the U.S. than someone based in Luxembourg?

Honestly, for families in Luxembourg who are applying to U.S. colleges, teaming up with a consultant based in the States can be more beneficial. While local admissions consultants may seem more convenient because they’re nearby, they probably understand the general admissions process. 

However, U.S. admissions trends move incredibly fast. Priorities shift annually, essay prompts get updated, and specific universities might prioritize facets of applications differently. A U.S.-based consultant who’s actively immersed in the college admissions landscape, engaging with admissions officers, constantly monitoring emerging trends, and guiding students through real-time application cycles, will provide insights that are significantly more current and strategically valuable. 

If you’re not sure about the effectiveness of doing things virtually, don’t worry. Virtual collaboration doesn’t mean less personalized attention. You’ll still receive one-on-one sessions, comprehensive essay help, guidance on building your college list, and thorough interview preparation. The key difference is that we have a deep understanding of how your child’s Luxembourgish curriculum and experiences translate and can be best positioned within a U.S. context to truly maximize their impact.
