A Legacy of Results
Beyond admission to top universities, we have also helped our students gain scholarships and financial aid. Here are some of our unique achievements:
The Profile Perfection Promise
Shaping profiles that will shine on a global stage.
Elite institutions like the Ivy League, Stanford and Harvard look beyond your test scores and academics, seeking enterprising candidates with the right profile. Our commitment to your success begins in high school, as we curate the right mix of internships and experiences to create a profile fit for the best. That’s the Onwardo Promise.
Schedule Your Profile EvaluationInternships at the high school level expose students to real-world work environments, helping them explore career paths, develop professional skills, and gain early insight into the world of work. With the right mix of opportunities, Onwardo shapes student profiles to signal interest, initiative, ambition, and clarity, attracting the attention of top universities worldwide.
Research enables students to go beyond the confines of traditional learning, helping them understand the fundamentals of the subject in greater depth. Our students receive guidance from mentors or academic experts who guide them through research and analysis, enabling them to produce original work and publish papers or presentations. This signals intellectual maturity, independent thinking and a passion for learning.
We curate incubator programs to challenge students to move beyond theory and create tangible outcomes such as startups, mobile apps, product prototypes, or social ventures. Under the guidance of mentors, students can gain exposure to real-world problems and get opportunities to develop entrepreneurial, technical, and collaborative skills.
Entrepreneurship is a sign of creating meaningful change. A student with hands-on experience in business makes a great candidate for top colleges worldwide. At Onwardo, we provide students with real-life opportunities to showcase their entrepreneurial skills. This, in turn, makes for great additions to essays and answers for personal interview questions at top colleges.
The right certification programs can enhance a student's academic profile, helping them also explore their chosen field at greater depth. At Onwardo, we encourage our students to pursue certifications in in-demand areas, such as coding, machine learning, or AI, which can enhance their candidacy. To the admissions committee, the student appears as a competent candidate who is genuinely committed to academics.
Admissions officers want to hear stories that bear testimony to a student’s values and real-world contributions. We curate experiences for students that enable them to participate in community services and social impact activities, such as fundraisers, sustainability campaigns, and tutoring the underprivileged, to showcase their initiative, empathy, and commitment to making a positive change. Apart from impressing the admissions committee, such experiences can also add depth to personal essays and interviews.

Schedule Your Profile EvaluationFAQs
While it is recommended to take the SAT/ACT, many universities have adopted test-optional policies, meaning they may not require these scores for admission.
AP scores highlight academic dedication and preparation for college-level work, which is appealing to admissions officers. High scores (usually 4 or 5) can result in college credits, potentially saving tuition fees and reducing the duration of undergraduate programs.
Start by scheduling a conversation with one of our consultants to discuss your academic background and goals, and we’ll develop a personalized strategy for your application process.
We help you brainstorm and refine your essays, providing feedback that highlights your strengths and aligns with the expectations of top programs.
Studying for your undergraduate degree abroad can offer high returns in terms of global career opportunities, cultural experiences, and personal development.
AP (Advanced Placement) tests are standardized exams offered by the College Board that allow high school students to demonstrate college-level proficiency in specific subjects. AP tests help CBSE, State, and ICSE students bridge the gap to international education by demonstrating college-level proficiency.
