Two flat, public tiers. Paid only by you — zero university commission, ever.
The full decision portal, built for your exact situation. 12+ programmes deep-compared (the sample guide compares 19), screened from 120+.
For decisions that cross countries, careers, or family stakeholders — when the question itself needs work before the answer does.
Traditional agents charge USD 7,000+ for feedback over a few 1:1 calls. Both tiers are flat, public prices — with zero university commission, ever.
RMB equivalents use the June 2026 rate of about 7.2 and are indicative only.

There's no self-serve checkout — a human confirms we can actually help before any payment link is sent.
Answer the questionnaire — about 3 minutes. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
A human replies with your fit and a payment link — international cards via Airwallex; invoice available on request.
Your guide is built in stages you can follow from your account.
A live link with one year of access — and the refund ladder below applies throughout.
No fine print, no negotiation. Three lines, the same ones in our terms.
Full refund, no questions asked, if you change your mind before we begin work on your guide.
Half back if you withdraw after research has started but before anything is delivered.
Once your guide is delivered, the work is done and no refund applies. We'd rather be clear than flexible.
This matches our terms word for word — read the full terms.
Weigh it against what it's protecting. One wrong-programme year costs you tuition, living expenses, and a year of your life — easily ten times this fee, before counting the career you didn't start. USD 3,000 is a small fraction of one such mistake, spent up front to make sure you don't make it. You're not paying for a document; you're paying to get the biggest decision of the next decade right.
Because "free" isn't free — agents are paid commissions by the universities they place you at, so the schools you're shown are the ones paying them, not the ones that fit you best. We take nothing from any university; we're paid only by you. That independence is the entire product. An agent can't sell it to you, because the moment they did, they'd lose their commission.
No — and anyone who does is lying to you. No honest advisor can promise an admissions committee's decision, and "guaranteed admission" is the oldest red flag in this industry. What we improve is your decision and your odds: an honest read on where you realistically stand, the evidence behind it, and a plan to act on it. We clarify the choice; we don't sell outcomes.
A private guide site built for your exact situation: a clear verdict, your shortlisted programmes deep-compared side by side, money and visa modelling (fees, living costs, scholarships, post-study work rights), an interactive application plan from today to enrolment — and every figure linked to its primary source so you can check our work.
There's a refund ladder, applied exactly as written: a full refund before research starts, 50% if you withdraw after research begins but before anything is delivered, and none once the guide is delivered and the work is done. No fine print and no negotiation — the same three lines are in our terms.
Start with the free assessment — it costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Within 24 hours a human replies with your fit and an Airwallex payment link that takes international cards (invoice / 发票 available on request). There's no self-serve checkout: we confirm we can actually help before any money changes hands.
The Complete Guide is delivered in one language of your choice — English, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese — so pick the one your family reads. The Bespoke Guide comes in all three at once: the same content under one shared link, switchable as you read, so the whole family can move between English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
A questionnaire of about 3 minutes starts it. An honest, fully-sourced answer ends it.
