25 years of experience in admission and counselling.

You may be concerned about how to get started with the planning process, or wondering about whether a 4-year degree is the right path. You may be concerned about affording the cost of a degree or the return on investment - in time and financial resources. Your concerns may be wondering where your strengths lie or how competitive you may be as an applicant, or about how to find the best direction in terms of what to study or what careers may suit you best. Is it better to stay in your home country, or go abroad for your first educational steps? Or you may even be considering more specific steps - which entrance tests to take and how to prepare, or how to write the most impactful personal profiles for Canadian universities, essays for US colleges, or the personal statement for your UK applications.

With 25 years of experience in admissions, career counselling and consulting, a network of experts to draw upon, and a process that serves to respond to the individual concerns you face, you can be sure that the guidance you receive will be well-informed, thorough, and offered with an eye toward ensuring an excellent college or university match for you in the end. HR Lehn offers both comprehensive packages that serve to walk families through all key steps and stages, and select hourly services. Some of these are listed here. Please contact me to discuss your concerns and how my services can support you.
