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
• Universities recruit students directly from the portal
• Reach out to multiple universities with one application!
