WE LISTEN, ANALYSE, RESEARCH, GUIDE & ADVISE
How can we help?

profile to establish strengths and
weaknesses and agree on a strategy
and schedule.
• We research appropriate universities in
collaboration with the student and
his/her family in order to establish at
least five applications.
• We advise on deadlines,including
Oxbridge,Medicine and EU/non EU
applications.
• We suggest extra support that may be
required to meet the necessary entry
requirements based on our evaluation
of a student’s current levels:
IELTS/LNAT/UKCAT/BMAT etc.
• We advise on fees:where to find
information on loans and scholarships,
if available.
• We provide guidance on who to ask for
recommendations,and give examples
of requirements,and the provision of
transcripts.
‘This is such a professional agency which takes you through the process of application
in a really valuable way.Mrs Banning listened carefully to our requirements and gave
exceptional personal attention throughout her service.She provided a constructive

was remarkable and the fee is paid very fairly and customer-friendly.

forms,including guidance with personal
statements and supplementary essays,

him/herself in the best way and submit
an essay that will stand out.

and Applicants’ Days.
• We help develop interview skills,and
ensure students research adequately
beforehand so that they are fully
prepared.

What people say about us...
‘The services of Vicky Davis and Marie-
Louise Banning have been outstanding.
There has been a professional yet also a
very personal approach during all
stages of the application process.
’
‘The invested time and effort was
incredible and the many emails,Skype
sessions and personal advice really helped
me throughout this process.
Apply2university really gives you the
chance to find the course that's best for
you and allows you to act as a team rather
than as an individual,which to me -
especially as I live outside the UK - was
worth so much.They are experts in their
field and act on a basis of personal and
professional experience and profound
knowledge.

grow on a personal level as well.This is an
experience … that will support me in
many areas of my life that go far beyond a
