Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use Harvard Square Educational Associates?

We are committed to providing an individualized plan exclusively for the Chinese student who is interested in attending school in the United States. Providing personalized attention through every step of the application process, we tailor a process that fits a student’s unique needs and interests. The educational landscape can seem endless and the application process often feels daunting. Our combination of expertise and care allows us to transform the process from an experience that is overwhelming to one that is inspiring.

What makes us different?

Our combination of experience in both America and China makes us uniquely suited to counsel Chinese students through the process of transitioning to the American educational system. Our expertise gained from years working in American and Chinese schools helps us craft a process uniquely suited to students’ interests. Harvard Square Educational Associates is also committed to the educational experience beyond the admission process. Success is not merely measured by where the student gains admission, but in that student’s experience where he or she matriculates.

At what point should prospective students and their families contact Harvard Square Educational Associates for support?

Students in the United States begin submitting applications in the fall prior to the year of their matriculation. However, many students start the testing process a year to a year and a half prior to submitting their applications. The earlier we hear from students and their families, the better we can serve them in crafting a personalized and appropriate timeline. We can, when appropriate, also work with students who are already enrolled in a US educational institution and who would like to identify high impact internships, travel programs, teaching programs, and other experiences that will strengthen their resume and will link to future employment.
