Your undergraduate adventure starts here...
We help students from all across Pakistan apply to the best American colleges.
Just so you know...
Choosing the right admissions counselor is almost as important as choosing the right college. Your counselor must thoroughly understand undergraduate admissions procedures and conventions. They must effectively tailor your applications to the specific requirements of each target college. Most importantly, they must engage with you at length: applications should NEVER be rushed. CollegeFlex is committed to these principles. But don't take our word for it, decide for yourself. Come on in. Take a look around. Make yourself at home. Get a sense of what we offer and how we work. If what you see resonates, call us - we love to talk!
I can fill out college applications myself—why sign up with CollegeFlex?
Get the professional help other applicants are getting.
You are competing with the most eligible applicants in the world for limited slots at elite colleges in the U.S. Most applicants have experienced admissions counselors guiding them through every stage of the application process. We want to ensure applicants from Pakistan have the same advisory resources at their disposal.
You are a compelling applicant. Let's make sure your application is equally compelling.
Top tier colleges in the U.S. (including every IV League) routinely reject applicants with perfect standardized test scores and outstanding school reports. To be clear, grades are important—but not enough to get in to an elite program. Your application must make a compelling case for admission. We help you do just this. And we are very, very good…
We know a thing or two about U.S. undergraduate admissions...
In addition to undergraduate degrees from the U.S., our staff has considerable work experience in that country. Most importantly, we have conducted extensive research into the undergraduate admissions process and are keen to share our industry knowledge with you.
Your application is going to be read by Americans at an American institution. We're going to make sure they understand exactly what you mean and why.
Applicants from Pakistan are steeped in either British or French education traditions. This can lead to a certain cultural dissonance when applying to American undergraduate programs. We are able to identify and correct language and/or ideas that do not translate accurately for readers across the pond.
Why does CollegeFlex only provide advisory services for U.S. undergraduate applications?
We don't waste our time and your money on applications that do not require our expertise.
We have identified a gap between the quality of applications completed in Pakistan, and the standard required by top tier U.S. colleges. As a service provider, we charge for and deliver on the promise of bridging this gap. Undergraduate programs outside the U.S. do not value the nonacademic sections of an application in the same way. We therefore cannot add tangible value to these applications.
If you really do need help with applications outside our zone of expertise, get in touch. We may be able to help.
On a limited basis we have facilitated completion of medical residency matching applications through the ERAS portal. However, our main focus remains undergraduate admissions in the U.S.
CollegeFlex offers three advisory programs. Do I have to sign up for all three?
Not at all.
All three advisory programs are separate and independent. In fact, we do not recommend concurrently enrolling in multiple programs. Every program has a start and end date. Applicants are advised to enroll in all three sequentially.
In fact, all three are offered at different times during the application cycle.
The Pre-Application Program is available throughout the year; the Application Program is available from August 1st—April 15th (every year); and the Pre-Enrollment Program is available from March 1st—January 15th (every year).
What is 3-4-3 and why does it keep coming up in every conversation with CollegeFlex staff?
Not too many, not too few...
This is our recommended “basket” of college applications. We believe applicants are best served by applying to three reach colleges (IV League and comparable), four target colleges (top 50), and three safety colleges (>50% acceptance rate).
Ten strong applications are so much better than twenty weak ones.
Most applicants want to apply to more than ten undergraduate programs. We believe this is a mistake. College applications—if they are completed with the appropriate care and attention—are time consuming. Applying to more than ten programs is simply not manageable. However if applicants are insistent, we will make accommodations at an additional charge.
