About us

Global Paths Admissions Consulting was founded to help students successfully navigate university admissions within the United States and at select international institutions. Applying to college or graduate school can be overwhelming; different systems, essays, requirements, and visa processes often leave families unsure where to begin. Our goal is to make that process clear, structured, and achievable.

We understand these challenges because we’ve faced them ourselves. Our advisors have applied to and studied at top U.S. and U.K. universities, overcoming the same obstacles students encounter today, from financial planning and visa logistics to balancing academics and deadlines. We use that first-hand experience to guide you through every stage of your journey, so you don’t have to face it alone.

At GPA Consulting, we believe opportunity shouldn’t be limited by geography. Whether your goal is a leading university in the U.S. or a world-class program abroad, we help you identify the best fit and build a strong, authentic application. Our approach blends practical admissions strategy with global perspective, empowering students to turn uncertainty into confidence and ambition into results.

Your path is personal, we’re here to help you walk it with purpose and direction.

Message from our Founder

When I founded Global Paths Admissions Consulting, my primary goal was to simplify the journey to higher education for prospective students. With experience studying and working within both the U.S. and U.K. university systems, I understand the challenges of navigating complex applications, funding hurdles, and unfamiliar processes.

I started this company to ensure that students wouldn’t have to face these uncertainties alone. Every student deserves to have their potential clearly articulated in their applications, and every parent deserves the peace of mind that comes from knowing their child’s aspirations are being guided with care and expertise.

At GPA Consulting, we believe that success knows no borders. Whether your goals are set on a top university in the United States or abroad, our mission is to provide you with the strategies, structure, and confidence necessary to achieve them.

Your journey is unique, and we are here to assist you in shaping it, one clear step at a time.
