An honest, expert-built university shortlist and full application roadmap - with zero commission bias. We answer only to your child's profile, because you are the only one paying us.
The usual model is "free" counselling paid for by university commissions - so the advice quietly favours whoever pays. SCOPE flips that: you pay us a one-time fee, so every recommendation answers to your child alone. We are not an agent of, and take no commission from, any university. Built by educators with years of admissions experience, checked against official university sources.
No commissions, no university partnerships. The only party paying SCOPE is you, so the shortlist is honest.
Every fee, deadline and entry requirement is checked against the official university page and shown with its source and date - or flagged for you to confirm.
Grades, curriculum, budget, tests, co-curriculars and fee-status are weighed together, region by region, to a Reach / Match / Safe shortlist.
Grades, curriculum, career domains, regions, budget and co-curriculars. Attach PRISM or LENS to sharpen it.
We shortlist from a curated database and verify each school's current facts against its official pages.
A human at AI-abled reads every report before it is sent. No unverified fact ships as fact. This is the step that takes the hours.
A PDF so complete your family can apply independently - reaches, matches and safeties, mapped to your grades.
We could send it in minutes. We do not, on purpose. Every fee, deadline and entry requirement is checked against the university's own official page, and then a person here reads the whole report before it reaches you. That is what the hours buy, and it is the part you are actually paying for. If anything in your report cannot be backed by an official source, we say so rather than guess.
Honestly? No. A family can do this themselves, and plenty of families do it well. We would rather tell you that than sell you a worry you do not need to have. Here is the truthful version, so you can decide what you are actually buying.
The information is public. Every entry requirement, fee and deadline sits on the university's own website, free, and they want you to find it. The forms are long, not hard: grades, an essay, a reference. Nobody is grading you on the paperwork.
The real work is not filling forms. It is knowing which universities are worth your child's time out of thousands, and being honest about which are a reach, a match and a safety. That is reading, cross-checking and judgement, and it is the part that eats the months.
Time, and someone else carrying the admin. That is a real thing to buy, and for a stretched family it can be worth the money. It is not secret access and it is not a better chance. Anyone who implies they can get your child in is selling you something.
Between the two, on purpose. Against a commission-paid agent: they may well cost you nothing, because the universities pay them, and that is exactly the problem. We charge you instead, and that is what buys you the right to be told a university is wrong for your child. Against doing it from a blank page: this is a genuine shortcut. The choosing is already done, reasoned against your child's real profile, with every fact sourced and dated so you can check us. SCOPE does not improve your child's odds of admission. Nothing honest does. It improves the quality of the decision - which doors are worth knocking on, and why. If you still want to hand the admin to someone afterwards, hire them for the admin. You will know what you are asking for, and whether their list agrees with yours.
You pick how many career domains and regions you want covered - the price follows your selection. A wider search costs a little more; a focused one stays at the base.
