The same five steps, so you always know what happened.
Start from the file
The student's grades, degree, budget and what they wrote about themselves.
Check your catalogue
What your agency already knows and approved comes first.
Read the source
Only where the catalogue is silent does the agent open the university's own pages.
You tick
A findings sheet: each fact, what it says, where and when it was read.
The desk learns
Ticked facts join your catalogue. The next counsellor starts from them.
Disagreement is a finding too.
When two pages give different deadlines, the sheet says "Sources disagree" and shows both, instead of picking one. Set it aside and check it with the university.
What they do today, and what's next.
Entry band for a Pakistani degree, English, documents, fees, deposit and deadlines for one programme.
What the programme asks for, compared with what's on file. Gaps become dated requests to the student.
Funds, dates and documents against the UK Student or Australia 500 rules, with what's missing and what's risky.
A structure for the statement of purpose built from the programme's stated criteria and the student's own words. Never a ghost-written essay.
Candidates from grades, budget and field, with the gaps researched on the strongest ones.
Reads forwarded admissions emails and keeps each application's status current.
Three lines no agent crosses.
Instructions widen the search, never the permissions.
You can tell an agent what to look for. You can't talk it into doing more than it's allowed to.
Every number traces to a source.
Fees, deadlines, entry bands and visa figures carry the page they were read from and the date.
Money and submissions stop for a person.
Agents never pay, never solve a CAPTCHA and stop before a final submission.
