Independent, In-depth and
Individual AttentionMaplewood 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.
