College Admissions Counseling for grade 10-12 international students applying to the US & UK & Europe
Personalized 1-on-1 Admissions Mentorship for Your Entire Journey
For 10th grade
Most international students do what they heard looks good for the admissions officers. Everybody applies to the same programs and launches similar non-profits. That’s why they blend in and come across as inauthentic. At Borderless, we help you stand out by being real. Starting in 10th grade, we guide you to build a profile around your passions, meaningful activities, leadership, and goals that actually matter to you.
For 11th grade
Junior year is where many international students fall behind. They pick random colleges, cram for tests without a plan, and miss the opportunities that make an application stand out. At Borderless, we build a smart, balanced college list tailored to your profile, refine your testing strategy, strengthen your extracurriculars, and guide you toward high-impact summer opportunities. Essay work starts in the spring, and a well-spent summer becomes your most powerful advantage.
For 12th grade & gap year
Final year is the time we create a clear application strategy to maximize your acceptances and work with you through every step. We brainstorm, draft, and refine your personal statement and supplements until your story feels strong and authentic. We help you with financial aid and coach you for interviews. Every comma on your application is reviewed carefully to make sure it is as perfect as it can be.

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Limited reach, outdated information, and very little access to global admissions insights.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.
All Acceptances
Our mentors have helped students get accepted to the following universities in the US🇺🇸, UK🇬🇧, Canada🇨🇦, China🇨🇳, Europe🇪🇺 and the Middle East🇦🇪🇶🇦.
