Our admissions counsellors offer a wealth of knowledge, experience, and expertise to the university admissions process. Not only do we have a deep and objective understanding of many universities their offerings, the application form, and personal essays, but we also expertly understand the application process in general.
Our counsellors stay in touch with current trends and spend much time touring campuses and talking with university counselling professionals and admission officers. Our team-based approach ensures that students gain valuable insights from a multiplicity of perspectives.

Some universities require face-to-face interviews with the applicants. These are high-stakes, nerve-wracking situations, but with preparation, this is where students can make themselves shine. Our interview coaches give insight into interview processes and prepare students so there are no surprises. Each school has something unique they are looking for in prospective students, so we ensure every applicant walks into interview prepared.
Often the best way to stand out to admissions is through the creativity of an individual. Our counsellors help create a plan for applicants to showcase their individual talents, as well as brainstorm and review essays and personal statements produced by the applicant. Our goal is to help the student craft a unique and compelling story told through each section of their application.
University applications are arduous but ultimately reward the student with the career path of their choice. At Opus, we provide guidance throughout the entire application process. Our mission is to make sure that each applicant gets a chance to tell his or her story to the admission committee. We focus on not just the short-term, but the long-term success of the applicant. We believe in guiding the applicant to foster a passion and intellectual curiosity that will help them succeed in all their future endeavours.
