Applying to college is one of the biggest decisions a student will make, and the process can feel overwhelming without the right support. ISAL's advisors bring hands-on experience with the admissions requirements of many different U.S. universities and the specific challenges they present for both international and local students, offering personalized, 1-on-1 college admissions consulting so students can approach every step of their application with confidence.
Whether you are an international student building your first U.S. college list or a local student refining your personal statement, our advisors work with you to build a plan that fits your goals, background, and timeline.
Every student's path to college looks different. That is why ISAL's college consulting service in Boston is built around individual sessions rather than a one-size-fits-all curriculum. Advisors take the time to understand each student's academic background, interests, and goals before building a plan around them.
Sessions are available in-person at our Brookline campus or online, with flexible scheduling so students and families can fit college admissions consulting around school, work, and other commitments.
Every student receives individual attention and a plan tailored to their goals, academic background, and target schools, not a generic checklist.
From academic planning and building a college list to crafting a personal statement, our advisors guide students through each step of the application process.
ISAL's College Advising service is open to both international students studying at ISAL and local students and families in the Boston area who are preparing to apply to U.S. colleges.
It is a strong fit for students who want individualized support with academic planning, building a well-rounded extracurricular profile, identifying the right colleges to apply to, or writing a personal statement that reflects their voice and experience.
You do not need to be enrolled in an ISAL English program to work with a College Advising advisor.
Each college admissions consulting plan is built around the student, but sessions commonly draw from four core areas of support.
College Advising is designed to fit around each student's schedule, with no fixed course calendar and no long-term commitment required.
