Independent, In-depth and
Individual Attention
Maplewood is an
independent education counseling
service. We do not represent any
schools, colleges, universities
or act as their agents, and thus
are able to give our clients independent,
unbiased advice and
recommendations in
the selection of educational
programs, based on the student
or applicant's individual needs
and talents.
Maplewood's educational
consultants provide counseling
to help a student or applicant
choose a school, college or
university that is a good
personal match: one that will
foster this particular student
or applicant's academic, social,
or future career growth.
Our consultants offer a
student or applicant individual
attention, in-depth
knowledge of hundreds
of educational opportunities,
ample time to discuss different
options, and strategy and
tactics useful in the entire
application process.
Our consultants spend
hours with the applicant
assessing his/her admissions
success from multiple
perspectives - academic
abilities, personal qualities,
interests, and aspirations - and
building a winning application
(see Maplewood
Success FactorsTM below). In boarding school
and college counseling,
Maplewood consultants also work
with a student's family to help
them make the best education
choices in an important family
decision.
We
bring in the knowledge and
skills of an experienced
professional, coupled with a
commitment to assuring that
the applicant's best interests
are met.
The Maplewood Success Factors
TM
Maplewood
provides college
counseling, college
planning, and MBA application
counseling services to students
and individuals who wish to
pursue the best possible higher
education in the USA.
We
believe each applicant is unique
and we customize our services
and admissions strategies to
differentiate each individual
applicant from the competitors.
For our college admissions
services, we also work with the
family to help the student make
the first most important
investment in his/her life - a
college education.
We
assess each individual applicant
for admissions success from
multiple perspectives using the
Maplewood
Success FactorsTM and
we select the right colleges,
universities and graduate
schools for application
according to the applicant's
academic aspirations, abilities
and attributes.
The Maplewood
Success FactorsTM are a set of personal
qualities, based on our
counselors' experience, that
admissions officers at the top
US colleges, universities, and
graduate schools would look for
in successful applicants:
Maturity - intellectual
and emotional
Academic ability and
achievement, productive class
participation
Poise, self-confidence,
sense of purpose, independence
Leadership, dedication,
team play
Enthusiasm, energy,
motivation and initiative
Work ethic, discipline,
integrity, responsibility,
professionalism
Originality and
creativity
Open-mindedness,
curiosity, with critical
thinking
Diversity, concern for
others, sensitivity to the
outside world
Maplewood
advises each individual
applicant to highlight the above
personal qualities, if
available, throughout the
application process. If there is
still a year or two before
application, the applicant
should also aim at developing
and cultivating such personal
qualities in his or her college
or graduate school planning.
In
selecting the right school to
apply to, Maplewood also takes
into account other factors
including the geographical or
regional location, school size,
academic programs, research
opportunities, career
preparation, campus life and
environment. The goal is to
expand the options available and
achieve admission to the best
possible college, university or
graduate school of one's choice.
