Service one of four
We narrow the field from two thousand European programs down to eight that genuinely fit your grades, your budget, your subject, and your life. Eight, not thirty. Because a list of thirty is a sales tactic, not advice.
The methodology
There's no algorithm. There's a process — repeatable, transparent, and tailored to you. Here's exactly what happens.
90 minutes, structured. We map every dimension that matters: academic record (with realistic equivalence to European grade systems), language scores or potential, financial ceiling, family situation, work experience, projects, weak spots you don't want exposed, and what you actually want from this two-year chapter.
By the end of this step, your profile is a one-page document you can re-read and correct.
Your profile filters the country list down to three or four genuinely viable destinations. Budget rules out some. Subject rules out others. Language requirements narrow further. Visa difficulty for your passport refines it. By the end, you'll know which countries are realistic — and why the others aren't.
Most students leave this step surprised by at least one country they hadn't considered.
Inside the viable countries, we filter to specific programs — not just universities. Two programs with the same name at the same university can have very different curricula, costs, and admission stats. We read the actual syllabus, recent intake data, and what placed students did afterwards.
University brand matters less than program fit. We let the program decide.
Eight programs, tiered for risk: 2 reach (ambitious, you're on the edge of qualifying), 4 target (strong match, realistic admit), 2 safety (high admission probability, still genuinely good fits). Every choice comes with a one-paragraph rationale.
You leave with a delivered document. You own it whether you work with us further or not.
You come back with reactions — "I don't want to go that cold-weather", "what about this university I saw online", "my parents want me closer to home" — and we rebuild. Twice. Until the list reads like something you'd actually act on.
Most shortlists land on round two. Some need round three; that's free.
Anatomy of a shortlist
Example shortlist for a student aiming for a Master's in Data Science · Indian profile · 75% GPA · IELTS 7.0 · budget €15k/year.
Ambitious — strong rejection chance, worth applying anyway
Highly selective. GPA on edge but research portfolio compensates.
World top-20. Bold reach. Cost out of range without scholarship.
Strong fit — your profile sits comfortably in the admit range
Madrid · strong CS faculty · €3.5k/yr · MAEC-AECID eligible.
Quant master's track. Income-adjusted tuition likely < €2k.
€1.5k/semester · strong business analytics curriculum.
Stipendium Hungaricum-eligible · could be full ride.
High admit probability — still high program quality, not "throwaway"
Affordable · strong international community · MS Data Science.
€1.5k/yr · low cost city · solid CS faculty.
Yours will look different. The shape stays the same — 2 reach, 4 target, 2 safety, with rationale on every line.
What you get
If you need the full end-to-end service, we'll quote it during the discovery call. Counseling stands alone if that's all you want.
Counseling pricing
We share exact numbers on the discovery call, where you can ask anything and walk away with no obligation. If you bundle counseling with our other services, the per-service price drops. No hidden costs, no retainers, no "we'll send you an invoice later."
Counseling FAQ
Yes. Counseling stands on its own. Many students take just this service, use the shortlist to apply themselves, and come back later if they want help with scholarships, SOPs or visas. The document is yours regardless.
Because eight is what you can actually apply to well. Thirty applications means generic SOPs, missed deadlines, and €3,000+ in application fees. Eight tailored applications, written carefully, beat thirty rushed ones every time — and our 88% offer rate proves it.
We expect you to. The two iteration rounds exist for exactly this. We'll explain why a university is or isn't on the list — you push back, we adjust. Final list is yours, not ours.
Typically 10–14 days end-to-end. Profile audit takes 90 minutes (single call). Country mapping + program filter takes us 5–7 days of internal work. Shortlist delivery + first iteration takes another 3–5 days. You're not on a hamster wheel — but we move.
Yes — and we'll be honest about which destinations and programs that profile fits. There are excellent options for non-traditional applicants in Germany, Italy, Hungary, Poland. We won't pretend you can apply to Oxford. We will find you something genuinely good.
