Harsh truth: Most international students don't get in—here's why

Stressed Student
  1. They start too late and underestimate the amount of effort it takes to apply to competitive schools abroad.
  2. Their college list is very unbalanced; they apply only to Ivy League and T20 schools, leaving themselves without safety options.
  3. Their activities are spread out too much; they are all over the place without a clear, cohesive narrative.
  4. Their essays are generic or, even worse, written with ChatGPT, and do not leave an impression on admissions officers.
  5. Their recommenders don't know how to support them or write strong letters.

Here's how Borderless helps you avoid those mistakes

  1. Borderless gives you a structured timeline so you'll start early with a clear roadmap. Our biweekly check-ins ensure meaningful progress and no missed deadlines.
  2. Our counselors know schools worldwide and will help build a truly balanced college list with options that fit your major, budget, preferences, and lifestyle.
  3. With Borderless's guidance, you'll align activities with your major and values, discover impressive opportunities, and present your experiences in the best way possible.
  4. We'll help craft your essays to tell your authentic story with strong, well-researched supplementals, all triple-checked by our counselors.
  5. Borderless shows you exactly how to help your school provide recommendation letters that highlight your unique qualities effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this too early if I'm applying in 2026?

Not at all! The most successful international applicants start early. You'll have time to implement everything you learn and stand out even more in your applications.

Will this help students from any country?

Absolutely! While specific opportunities might vary by country, the strategies and systems we teach work for international students from any background.
