College Admission

Application to selective universities is at an all time high and many schools are admitting the lowest percentage of applicants in their history. Harvard reported nearly 35,000 applications for the class of 2015, which is about a 15% increase from last year’s record of 30, 489 and accepted only 6.9%; Yale received a record 27,230 applications, a 5% increase from last year, and admitted just 7.5% of applicants. This trend holds true for other top schools beyond the Ivies.

At EXPARTUS®, we understand that such competition leaves applicants with significant stress and we take a proactive approach to help parents and their children navigate the competitive world of college admission. Our service is comprehensive and involves a thorough understanding of your child’s strengths and weaknesses, interests and talents, needs and educational objectives. We then help your child to develop a winning admissions strategy by identifying, developing, and marketing his/her personal brand. We begin working with clients from as early as 9th grade, continuing through the senior year.

Starting early to plan for college allows you to manage the stressful application process effectively by ensuring that you develop the critical ingredients necessary to gain admission to selective educational institutions.

 “Our daughter is a student at the University of Pennsylvania. Without a doubt, we feel that the guidance she received from EXPARTUS is a major reason she was able to gain admission to her first choice school. She had a dedicated Counselor who took time to understand her interests and goals and then helped our daughter to brainstorm the best essay topics to write for her application. With her Counselor’s guidance our daughter was able to write very strong essays that accurately depicted her long term goals, how she would fit into Penn, and how she would contribute to the school. Much of the stress of applying was reduced knowing that she was receiving admissions help from experts who know the American admission system thoroughly. Thank you EXPARTUS for helping our daughter achieve her admission dream!”

“We hired EXPARTUS to help as a “sanity check” while our son was applying to American Universities. We wanted an expert who understood the admissions process from an insider perspective and we found EXPARTUS to be very knowledgeable about the US selective university admissions. Our admissions advisor worked closely with our son to navigate all the questions we had including completing his Common Application which is quite confusing! We were happy with the personal attention and support we received from EXPARTUS and are glad to report that our son gained admission to his top choice school”

 “We first read about Chioma Isiadinso and Expartus, in a 2007 New York Times article. Chioma and Expartus stood out, so we tucked away the article, in case, at a later date, we felt her services would be helpful for our children. That moment came, when our eldest daughter was a high school sophomore. We reached out to Chioma, to see if she might be able to help us to navigate through the bewildering process of selecting a college, and putting our daughter’s best self forward to those colleges.

We received so much more. Chioma became our daughter’s kind angel, helping our daughter to discover her best self during what can be awkward teenage years. Chioma was her springboard as she made choices along the way, from her high school courses to summer plans, and eventually selecting and applying to colleges. Watching this unfold from the sidelines, we were especially touched by how beautifully Chioma connected with our teenager, and in a very unassuming way, she helped our daughter steer her own path.

We believe our daughter received far more than support for the college selection process. Rather, she came away with lifelong lessons about putting her best self forward, cultivating a support network, and staying true to herself. Partnering with Chioma was a terrifically rewarding journey which we would highly recommend to others!”
