Start with free guidance
Three useful places to start.
Your country of residence and your application route are different things. These resources are for first-year US applications, whether you live in the US, India, the UK or elsewhere.
Choose your application timing
Compare early and regular options before making commitments. Record the rules and dates for each college, including any separate funding deadlines.
Understand early and regular applicationsConnect activities to your writing
Start with what you actually did and learned. Then choose details that answer the prompt, rather than trying to fit every achievement into one essay.

A few questions before you begin.
Can I prepare my US applications without buying advice?
Yes. Every self-directed Application Studio tool is free. Research universities, record activities, organise tasks and deadlines, and develop drafts with linked experiences and review checklists. Personal feedback and meetings are separate paid services.
Will you write my essays?
No. You write every draft. TCO helps you choose useful examples, strengthen the structure and understand what to revise while keeping the work your own.
How many US universities are included?
TCO US UNDERGRAD covers up to eight US universities. The published service scope contains the current prompt, word and review limits.
Is admission guaranteed?
No. Universities make their own decisions. TCO provides the agreed advisory work and cannot guarantee admission, scholarships or interviews.
