Your Dream School is an international university admissions counseling service. We help students from outside Italy, the UK, the US, and Western Europe gain admission to selective universities in those regions — including Bocconi, Oxford, Cambridge, the Ivy League, HEC Paris, INSEAD, IE, IESE, ESADE, LSE, UCL, and the European top tier.

Since 2018 we have worked with more than 2,000 students from over 60 countries. Our counselors live in six countries, work in five languages, and collectively hold degrees from Bocconi, LSE, the University of Cambridge, Sciences Po, HEC Paris, NYU, and the University of Chicago.

Our mission

International university admissions are opaque. Application calendars, test requirements, and what each university actually values can vary so much from country to country that even strong students get rejected from schools they would have thrived at — not because they were not qualified, but because the process was structured against them.

Your Dream School exists to make selective international admissions transparent. We do this two ways: one-to-one counseling for students who want a counselor in their corner from school selection through enrollment, and a free public editorial library of 115+ in-depth admissions guides that anyone can read without signing up for anything.

Our team

Your Dream School is a team of nine: six full-time admissions counselors, two editors, and a managing director. Based in Milan, London, Paris, Rome, Madrid, and Boston. Every counselor has personally been admitted to a top-tier international university and has worked in admissions counseling for at least three years.

Editorial standards

Every factual claim is checked against a primary source. Sources are linked so you can verify them yourself. We update each article for every new admissions cycle and stamp the last-updated date publicly on every page. Every article is written by a named admissions counselor and reviewed by an editor. We do not accept paid placements in editorial content.

What we cover

Our editorial library covers ten clusters: Bocconi University, Oxbridge and top UK universities, SAT preparation, UCAS and UK applications, US college admissions, IELTS and TOEFL, general international admissions, study abroad destinations, European business schools, and cross-test admissions tests.
