Go The Extra Mile For Admission In Your Dream College

By 7 Mins Read

It wouldn’t be too much to say that college admissions in India and abroad have changed overnight. 

While the dynamics of the admission process has been undergoing changes for the last couple of years, the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 across the world has impacted the education system. 

Entrance tests are constantly getting rescheduled, affecting 1.3 Billion students globally. Many colleges abroad like Harvard, Cornell, Princeton, Boston University, Williams and many others made SATs optional or waived them off all together!

GEM(Go the Extra Mile)– India:

GEM – India’s hand holds a student in choosing a college, applying for it, preparing for entrance tests, writing college essays, and securing admission in their dream college! Below is a deep delve into each of these aspects:

1. Psychometric Assessments: 

Psychometric tests are conducted to understand the student’s interests and the aspirations of parents. Post this, the student is introduced to 3 career options by matching their interest and aptitude.

Through personalised counselling, the student chooses the career they want to pursue out of the three and it is then mapped to the final course they should be pursuing. Parents are also taken through the costs involved in pursuing that particular course.

By the end of this step, the career & course are finalised.

2. Test Preparation: 

Once the student has chosen the course, the next and the most crucial step is the test preparation.

An expert assists the student in the following areas:

  • The basic guidelines while applying for colleges
  • The pattern & best strategy for exam preparation
  • The syllabus and material the student should follow
  • The coaching centre they should join if needed
  • Registration for online tests

3. Ideal College List: 

Now that the course selection and preparation has been taken care of, the next step is college selection.

After understanding the student’s profile & potential, parents aspirations and finances, our expert drafts three college lists:

  • Aspiration List
  • Best-fit List
  • Safe List

Based on these lists, both the student and the parents evaluate options, finalise the college, and help their child take off towards his/her dreams!

A student innate talent, interests and potential and the aspirations of the parents are all assessed through a series of psychometric tests.

An expert then suggests 3 careers based on the student’s interest and potential and chalks out the ‘path to the career’ for a clear understanding. Once the student chooses a career, the expert maps it to different courses in different countries that map to the career choice.

Based on the finances and aspirations, by the end of this step, the career, course, and country are selected.

Just like in the GEM – India service, the expert creates three lists for parents and the student i.e., the Aspiration List, Best-Fit List & Safe List. 

Once the student shortlists colleges, a University Information Sheet (UIS) is created for each of these universities, which helps the student and parents make a well informed college decision.
