For Parents
Every university admissions office in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and Singapore now has AI-detection tools. Applications with AI-drafted personal statements are increasingly flagged or rejected outright.
Your child deserves to stand out quickly, not be passed up quickly.
Parent Orientation will be on May 12th at 12pmCST. A 60-minute orientation for all accepted students and their parents a week before the program starts. Parents who attend are significantly less likely to request refunds.
