The ‘A’ Word - Agent

• Most US universities don’t recruit

students using agents. Those which do

often don’t like to advertise it.

• In the meantime, UK, Canadian, and

Australian universities are efficiently

and enthusiastically using agents to

achieve their recruitment goals

This is because US universities like to maintain

a strict admissions process and don’t want

external people to pass on information about

their universities.

Consultants vs. Direct Application

• Apply to a school directly - without

using any agent, if you know what sort

of course you are looking for and can

follow the application and immigration

process by yourself.

• Meet with them face to face - an

consultant could save you countless

hours of research time on the internet

by suggesting options suited to your

requirements.

• Consultants have personal knowledge

about the quality of schools and

accommodation
