What the Upgrade method does

We do not sell courses. For every student, we build a concrete path from high school to admission at their dream university.

Over 100 mentors who went through the process: graduates of Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford, LSE, ETH Zürich.

Personalized matching: your mentor is chosen based on your field and destination
Weekly 1-on-1 sessions, online, structured around your application stages
First-hand experience: every mentor applied and was admitted recently

Admission test that identifies strengths and gaps
Academic plus extracurricular plan aligned with your target universities
Testing strategy: SAT, IELTS, AP, IB, as needed

Matching with the right mentor

We connect you with a mentor who applied to and was admitted to the universities you are targeting, in your field of interest.

Building your candidate profile

Academic plus extracurricular plus leadership plus testing strategy. Everything you need to become a competitive candidate.
