About UniPrepper
Clarity from Grade 9.
Confidence by Grade 12.
UniPrepper is a specialist college counselling service built for students at international schools who are serious about earning a place at a top global university.
Most students start thinking about applications in Grade 11 — by which point the most impactful choices have already been made. We work differently: we start in Grade 9, building your profile, your strategy, and your story from the ground up.
The result is a student who arrives at Grade 12 prepared, not panicked.

Navigate options & standardised tests
Decode the world of undergraduate options, understand what standardised tests you need (SAT, IELTS, TOEFL, AP), and approach application season with a calm, clear head.

The Long-Term Advantage
Why Starting Early
Changes Everything.
The difference between an average application and an exceptional one is almost always time. This is why we start at Grade 9.
4-Year Profile Building
Achievements, activities, and essays take years to craft meaningfully. Starting in Grade 9 means by Grade 12, you have a compelling story — not a rushed one.
Consistent Advisory Relationship
One mentor who knows your story, your growth, and your goals across four years — not a new face every semester who reads your file the night before.
Strategic Subject Selection
Choosing the right Grade 9–10 subjects is non-negotiable for top university prerequisites. We ensure every subject decision today serves your application tomorrow.
Scholarship Maximisation
Merit scholarships are awarded to students with years of consistent achievement — not last-minute academic spikes. Our four-year approach positions students to earn funding.
Stress-Free Senior Year
By Grade 12, you'll be executing a plan — not scrambling to build one. Early engagement means your final year is about refinement and confidence, not crisis management.
Parent Peace of Mind
Structured milestone check-ins keep families informed at every stage. No surprises, no last-minute panic — just a clear sense of where your child stands and what comes next.
The earlier you start, the stronger the outcome.

Student Stories
From Our Students
Real outcomes from students who committed to the process early.
"Rishi helped me see my application as a story, not a list of achievements. By the time I was in Grade 12, everything was in place. I got into Warwick with a scholarship I didn't even know I was eligible for."
Ananya S.
Canadian International School · Bangalore
University of Warwick · Class of 2024
"Starting in Grade 9 felt early, but it's the reason I had a genuine profile by Grade 12. My applications wrote themselves. UCL was always the dream — and it happened."
Rohan M.
Tanglin Trust School · Singapore
University College London · Class of 2023
"UniPrepper didn't just help me apply — they helped me figure out what I actually wanted. The clarity that came from working with Rishi from Grade 10 was invaluable. Melbourne was the perfect fit."
Priya K.
KC High · Chennai
University of Melbourne · Class of 2024
"I was terrified of the US applications system. Rishi broke it down year by year — by Grade 12 it felt manageable. NYU's Stern School was the goal and we made it happen."
Siddharth P.
Stamford American International School · Singapore
New York University · Class of 2023
"What sets UniPrepper apart is the structure. We had a plan from the very beginning. Every extracurricular, every subject choice had a reason. I got into Toronto — first choice."
Maya R.
Indus International School · Bangalore
University of Toronto · Class of 2022
"The personal statement process with Rishi was transformative. He helped me articulate things I didn't even know I wanted to say. Manchester was my stretch school — and I got in."
