Add universities and deadlines, record experiences and work on your drafts. Your checklist shows what needs attention next.
Add the help you need
Compare the scope, meetings, reviews and full fee of a service. After confirmed payment, it appears in your Studio with a Get started button. Your receipt and service welcome arrive by email.
Prepare for your service
Share your goal and the material you already have. For a draft-review service, submit your existing work first; we release written feedback before the discussion. For a service with a starting meeting, choose an available time and we confirm it. Your Studio shows your next step, agreed start date and included meetings.
Review, discuss and revise
Read our feedback, discuss the questions it raises and work on your next draft or decision. Your revisions stay together. After each meeting, you can return to the recap and agreed actions instead of relying on memory.
Finish with your next steps clear
We check the work included in your service and release a closing summary. You verify the final facts and submit through your own university accounts. Your completed work and receipts remain available under our retention policy.
When to expect a reply
We aim to reply within two business days. Standard draft reviews and Assessment reports take three to five business days once the required meeting and materials are complete. Larger batches have agreed dates. Business days are Monday to Friday, excluding notified holidays.
Prepare before we meet
Available times start at least three days ahead: one day for us to confirm and two days for preparation. We aim to confirm within 24 hours. Required materials are due at least 24 hours before the meeting; if they are missing, we will ask you to choose a new date.
Keep the conversation together
Your Studio holds the conversation, shared work and feedback. Email notifications bring you back when something needs your attention. Referees write their own references, and you choose what to share with a parent or guardian.
Your questions,

“Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider.”
Who will I work with?
You’ll work directly with me, Adviik Singh Virat. I conduct the meetings, research your options and review the drafts included in your service. The Assessment is a defined starting point: a personal meeting, written review and plan, and a follow-up.
Which countries and courses do you support?
I support US and UK undergraduate applications, non-MBA master’s applications and US transfers. Engineering, materials, manufacturing, industrial systems and related management are my main subject areas. If you’re considering another subject, we’ll discuss whether my experience suits the help you need. MBA courses are outside the service.
How do I get started?
Choose Student Studio beside Cart, create a free account and start with your subject interests. Save a reflection, investigate a course and choose one next task. When you want personal advice, compare the included work and full fees under Services & fees.
Will TCO write my application for me?
You write each draft. We help you decide which experiences to explore, make your ideas clearer and understand what to improve in the next version. You check the final facts and submit your application. Referees write their own references, and we follow the university’s rules on outside help and AI.
Do you guarantee admission or scholarships?
No. Universities and other bodies make their own decisions. TCO cannot guarantee admission, an interview, scholarship, visa, study credits, job, internship or grade. Your fee pays for the agreed advisory work.
What is included in the fee?
Each package lists the meetings, applications, documents and review limits included. The current service fees appear on each service page and in your cart. GST is not charged. All new bookings are paid in full upfront. University fees, tests, travel and outside services cost extra. Extra work needs your written agreement on price and dates.
Can parents be involved?
Yes. Several packages include parent meetings, giving families time to discuss priorities, practical questions and progress. For students under 18, a parent or guardian enters the agreement. Adult students decide which information can be shared with their parents; we agree that arrangement at the start.
