About Us
BosonEd specializes in admissions consulting for students aiming to pursue higher education in the United States, Great Britain, and Canada. Founded in New York, we have expanded our presence in Philadelphia. As proud members of the International Association for College Admission Counseling (IACAC), Pennsylvania Association for College Admission Counseling (PACAC), and the Higher Education Consultants Association (HECA), we are dedicated to maintaining professionalism and a strong service-oriented approach.
At BosonEd, we offer a wealth of exceptional resources in the field of higher education, along with a team of experienced senior counselors. This ensures that we possess expertise in various aspects such as background enhancement, admission counseling for top-tier colleges and graduate schools, as well as internships and full-time jobs. We strive to provide comprehensive guidance and support to our clients, enabling them to achieve their academic and career goals.
Our Logic
We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all formula for top schools. Instead, we believe in creating personalized strategies tailored to each student's unique characteristics and strengths. By identifying and emphasizing the student's application theme, we help them craft a compelling narrative that aligns with their chosen schools.
To provide such a service, BosonEd relies on a team of senior, professional, and service-minded counselors. Our counselors possess in-depth knowledge of the admission and processes of selective schools. They are skilled in quickly and accurately understanding the unique characteristics of each applicant and developing customized application planning strategies that align with their individual themes. Approximately 90% students have been admitted to their top three choice schools.
Our Advantages
We know admissions
A crucial factor in gaining admission to a top college is understanding the mindset of admissions committees, in other words, knowing your audience. However, many college counselors lack such experience. Our founder, Katia, having worked in both private and public universities, from admissions reader to director. This extensive background enables her to accurately discern the unique qualities of each student and create personalized consulting plans. Additionally, as members of HECA, PACAC, and IACAC, Katia and BosonEd maintain long-term, positive connections with universities. This in-depth understanding of both schools and students significantly contributes to the success rate of our applications.
We focus on admission
We specialize in admissions. Just like you wouldn't hire a family law attorney for an injury case, you wouldn't choose a test prep company with a counseling department just to retain clients. Our focus is on admissions, and we excel in it. We have the best team of essay consultants. They are graduates of prestigious universities, with extensive experience in educational guidance and writing. Most importantly, they understand admission and application essays.
We have broad perspectives
Current application trends require applicants to have a global perspective and diverse thinking. Katia went abroad to study at the age of 15, completing her high school, undergraduate, and master's education in different countries. With fluency in three languages and living in three countries, we not only elevates students' applications but also empowers them in their career and life planning.
Focus on every client with service spirit
We deliberately limit the number of students we accept each year to ensure dedicated attention to every client. This allows us to not only guide students through the college application process but also lay the foundation for a bright future. We recognize that consulting is a service, and our counselors excel in understanding the needs and expectations of students. With excellent communication skills, they effortlessly bridge any communication gaps and establish rapport with students, ensuring a smooth and productive counseling experience.
