If you are seeking help getting into U.S. universities as an international student, you’ve come to the right place.

The U.S. university application process can be confusing and even overwhelming at times, but with help from our admissions counselor, Walter Ingram, you can experience reduced stress and gain a better understanding of how the university admissions process works in the United States. Walter helps international students identify target universities, interpret university applications, the admissions process, drafting and editing personal entrance essays.
Our Services
General Undergraduate University Admissions Consulting
The general undergraduate university admissions consulting services are the primary starting point for most families. This is where Walter will get to know your student, your family, your hopes and dreams, as well as your concerns and fears about the university admissions and application process. These general consulting services are designed to help your student identify the type of student they are, who they want to be, and where they want to go in life. From there, we’ll work together to research schools, navigate the testing and admissions processes, and get you through the application process with your sanity intact.
STEM Program Consulting Services
Students who are very strong in analytical skills often want to pursue STEM careers. Entrance to STEM schools is highly competitive and is a rigorous process. I work closely with students and families to identify programs and fields of interest to the student and then make school recommendations based on those interests. Once a school has been selected, I then help families apply for admission to these in-demand institutions.
University Consulting Packages
Our university consulting packages are designed to provide an all-in-one, age-appropriate solution to university planning. Packages range from 8th grade to Senior year of high school. Each package provides the student with age-appropriate tools and skill-building that will aid their eventual university selection and application process. The Junior and Senior consulting packages are much more task-driven, helping to guide the student through the process of filling out the application and submitting all of the additional required data and documentation
Our Process
Our process for applying to U.S. universities as an international student is extremely targeted and strategic. It is our goal to find the best fit for the student. I believe that this connection between the student and their university plays a critical role in the student’s overall success and satisfaction with their university experience. At Lumiry Educational Consulting you’ll receive:
- One-on-one advising from an experienced educational coach and admissions advisor.
