University Admission Report: Insights and Successes
As every year, Upgrade Education continues to assist students in securing placements at top international universities. The 2024 admission season has seen remarkable successes, highlighting the resilience and determination of our students. Here’s a detailed look at the key statistics and trends from this year’s admissions.
Challenges and How We Overcame Them
Test-Optional Policies
With many universities moving to test-optional admissions, students needed to rely more on essays, extracurriculars, and letters of recommendation to differentiate themselves. We offered tailored essay coaching and mentorship to ensure each student highlighted their unique strengths.
Scholarships and Financial Aid
Many students applied for financial aid and scholarships, and we provided personalized assistance in navigating these applications, helping students secure significant scholarships and financial packages.
Admission results over the years
Upgrade Education stands out in the Romanian educational landscape with its unmatched quality and dedication to student success. We started in 2017 with 26 students and since then we’ve written over 1500 success stories.

Your Path to Success
The path to success starts with the free strategy session we offer with one of our mentors, where we assess whether we can effectively work together. Following this, students take our unique evaluation test, available exclusively through our program. This test helps us identify the student’s learning and development needs, allowing us to craft a personalized educational plan tailored to those exact requirements. Sign your child up, or if you’re a student, you can sign up directly for our webinar, where you’ll gain exclusive access to the Upgrade admission test.
If you want to learn more about the Upgrade Education program and how it can help fulfill your academic dreams, you can speak directly with one of our mentors or attend any of our upcoming webinars, where we’ll cover everything you need to know about the admission process for universities in Europe, Canada, the UK, and the US.
