G'day! My name is Sara Cavalieri, and I'm the founder of College Apps Abroad. I'm an Independent Educational Consultant who specializes in guiding students and families in the U.S. and Canada through the process of applying for college and grad school overseas in places such as the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and more. I break down the myths and barriers about studying overseas and help students figure out exactly what needs to be done to apply for a degree abroad--as well as help them find their best fit programs. In turn, students will enhance their employability, develop cultural intelligence and in many cases, save time and money—incredibly important in today's world where a college education is usually the second biggest family investment after buying a home. On my site, students can find a number of courses to help them get started applying abroad on their own (https://www.courses-collegeappsabroad.com). But I also offer personalized support in areas such as high school curriculum planning, establishing testing timelines, understanding entry requirements, building the college list, writing the personal statement/essay, understanding the UCAS system in the UK, applications, financial aid, visa information and more. I can certainly attest to how many doors became opened for me both personally and professionally after doing my master's degree abroad, and I went on to work at universities from Europe to Down Under and lived on four continents. With a wide network of professional contacts at institutions around the globe, I know about a lot of options—not just the ones you’ve heard of! And as I'm not affiliated with any university, you can be sure the guidance you receive is in your best interests and is 100% unbiased. I'm also a member of IACAC, HECA and an Associate Member of IECA. There are so many reasons to apply abroad! What will be yours?
