What students say about us

Your advice helped me get accepted to many prestigious universities all around the world! I was accepted to NYU, UConn, Kenyon College, and many European universities, including Bocconi, where I currently study!

Hello! I wanted to inform you that I got into Skidmore College with a 95% financial aid (85k per annum) award as an international student from Pakistan. I watched a lot of your videos and they genuinely helped me a lot, so I just wanted to drop by and say thanks a lot. I have been watching Veronica's videos since I was in grade 9, and they really motivated me to apply to the USA. Your platform is amazing, not gonna lie!

Hello!

Your project with stories of admitted students really helped me to learn a lot about the application process during my senior year. Now, I am studying in Korea, and I would like to contribute to Borderless by sharing my story. Is it possible at this moment?

Hey! I'm an international student from Argentina and I was just accepted on a full-ride to Washington and Lee (Johnson Scholar with 1% AR) and near full-ride to Bowdoin (Faculty Scholar with 1% AR) and NYU Abu Dhabi! I wanted to thank you for all your work and suggestions on this page that really helped me navigate the process from scratch! It's really nice work you are doing.

Hi, I wanted to share that I used Borderless as a resource and got into Dartmouth! Thank you for what you do!!

Hiii! I got admitted to NYUAD as an international student with almost a full ride, and I would love to share my story on Borderless! How can I do that? I have also used Borderless for around 5 months in my application process.

Hi! Really excited to share that I've been accepted to NYU Abu Dhabi. It has been my top choice for a while now, and I couldn't be more grateful for the support that Borderless offered!

Hi! I have also been admitted to NYUAD as an international student from E& with an almost full ride, and I would love to share my story! I have been using Borderless for a year now and would love to share how it's helped me in my application!

Hi! My name is Mariana. I'm an international student from Brazil, and I'm going to study in the US on a full-ride scholarship this fall! I love your page and have been following and using your tips since the beginning of my application. Just wanted to thank you for all the work you do—it's truly amazing!

I got into Northeastern University, and it was all thanks to Borderless! Borderless suggested NEU to me and also helped a lot with my activities and essay. Although I am paying a lot of tuition, I want to share my story on Borderless. Thank you a lot, Veronica!

Thank you for all your videos. I was accepted to NYUAD '29, and Borderless was a great resource for me.

Hello, Veronica!! How are you doing?

Soooo it was actually on December 15th when the results of my Early Action college applications arrived and… I'm so happy to announce that I've been admitted to Northwestern Qatar with a full merit scholarship!!

Borderless played an enormous role in my success; I already gave an interview to one of the journalists, Aruzhan.

Thank you so much for creating such a magnificent project; stories with people who got into Northwestern Qatar really helped me!!! And your advice and assistance in your videos provided great support as well!!!

I particularly would like to mention the Borderless Personal Statement checker. It corrected some of the mistakes, helped polish my essay really well, and I raised my score from 11 to 19 out of 21 in just one attempt!! Thank you so much!!

Borderless vs. your local counseling firm

✅ Mentors with real expertise

Experienced counselors with years of success in writing, research, entrepreneurship, and strategy. We know what works.

✅ Counselors from the biggest study abroad platform

Our advice is powered by thousands of real admissions stories and proven strategies from students around the world.

✅ Deeply personalized support

Every student gets tailored strategies, clear action plans, and hands-on mentorship.

✅ Support for multiple countries

We help you build a smart strategy across the US, UK, Europe, and Asia so you can maximize your chances.

❌ Little real experience from most counseling firms

Mentors are often recent college grads (or still in college) with little to no counseling experience beyond their own applications.

❌ Limited global insight

Limited reach, outdated information, and very little access to global admissions insights.

❌ Generic advice, not tailored for you

Generic, one-size-fits-all advice that leaves students without real guidance.

❌ Narrow focus on a single country

Most firms only know how to apply to one country, usually the US, which limits your options. Given the current political landscape, it's more important than ever to apply globally.
