Full Support 2024
Craft an Ivy-Level University Application
Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Columbia Full Scholarships—all just in 2023!
Full Support is our most comprehensive and personalized admissions program. Every year, we select 12-15 ambitious students applying to selective American universities. In the past three years, over 80% of our students were accepted to top U.S. and global universities.
What Does the Program Include?
- Personal StatementAn excellent 650-word personal statement takes about 5,000 to 15,000 words of notes and reflections to complete, which is a challenging yet rewarding process our team will guide you through.
- Supplemental EssaysThese essays cover broad topics, such as your life goals, choice of academic discipline, and educational aspirations. Our team will assist you in crafting up to 3000 words of supplemental essays.
- Research PaperSome competitive universities, including Princeton and Williams, require or recommend submitting a research paper during their admissions process. In 2024, a research project under the guidance of Dr. Lyusyena will become an indispensable part of your university preparation.
But That's Not All...
We are talking FULL SUPPORT
Recommendation Letters
We will assist your high-school teachers in effectively representing your application. Our team will help you develop a bullet point list with your experiences and a guideline on writing recommendation letters for your teachers.

Perspectives from Full Support Students
Co-op Assistance for Low-income Families
The Admissions Program requires extensive financial and time resources to operate. Therefore, the program's costs may be an insurmountable barrier for some students.
Every year, we have selected a few such students, extending them an opportunity to join the Freshman team as teachers' assistants and social media interns, thus compensating for the program's expenses.
We are excited to launch such an assistance for the wider public. The Admissions Program Co-op is an opportunity for students from families who cannot afford the Admissions Program.
Due to limited resources, we can only admit one student per cohort. The program will require submitting financial documents and additional interviews. It is entirely need-based, not merit-based.

Interestingly, we receive both questions equally often.
The reason behind Full Support's low prices, relative to companies with similar track record to ours, lies in our passionate team. We work at a discounted rate to assist the students from the post-Soviet space in their admissions aspirations.
However, we still need to fairly compensate our highly skilled consultants. Running Full Support demands a large amount of resources, which are used to fund our team and also ensure that we overdeliver on our promises, supporting you beyond the application deadlines.

Although aspects like test scores are crucial, we typically look beyond academics into your life story.
Ideally, we seek academically stellar students with a solid extracurricular list and a track record of discipline, relentlessness, high integrity, and a commitment to excellence in whatever they do.
However, every student we admitted had areas that required improvement. Thus, 50% of our current students applied test-optional. Many lacked extracurricular activities when they joined.
Even if you are unsure, you can still apply. Our team will be happy to evaluate your application and offer you other options— Private Consultations or Admissions Programs—to support your educational endeavors.

As the "Full Support" name suggests, our program lasts until the admissions process is fully finalized.
Our work typically extends until March of the following year when you have your interviews.

US universities usually value your academics (test scores, GPA, etc) at only 30% of your entire application.
Similarly, we seek students who demonstrate immense capability beyond academia, evaluated through a holistic consideration of your entire profile including your academics, extracurriculars, and other contexts.

Co-op Assistance is strictly for families who truly cannot afford Full Support.
During the application, we will require proof of income and bank statements to verify the applicant's financial status.
As our resources are limited, we trust applicants who can afford the program will have the integrity to enable low-income families a potentially life-changing opportunity.
