One-on-one admissions consulting from students who just earned their place at Cambridge. The same guidance the big agencies sell for tens of thousands, without the price tag.
Our Philosophy
PORTICO was built on a very simple idea: modern-day college consulting is dead.
Students waste their time and money on overpriced and ineffective programs. They get essays written by someone else, fake internships from shady companies, leadership roles in clubs they have no interest in.
And eventually, they end up creating the cookie-cutter applications they sought to avoid in the first place.
That's why we created PORTICO.
We're not an average admissions service. We are a premier institution founded by Singaporean students who had to go through the same pain you're experiencing to get into Ivies and Oxbridges. We've walked the walk, and are ready to talk the talk.
PORTICO cuts through all of the white noise and BS buzzwords of college consulting. We know the hacks, the headaches, and the wins that really matter.
(Hint: And it's not pay-to-win internships or nepotist club roles!)
We start by reading your profile honestly. Course fit, a realistic college shortlist, the supercurriculars that actually matter, and a week-by-week timeline built around your deadlines. No fluff, no manufactured activities.
Private sessions with students who ran a successful Oxford or Cambridge application in the last cycle, not a call centre. We coach your personal statement line by line. We never write it for you.
The part most students cannot prepare for alone. Subject-specific mock interviews, thinking out loud under pressure, and structured prep for the ESAT, TMUA, MAT, TSA, and other Oxbridge entrance tests.
