I'm genuinely grateful for all of the support and guidance ARCH has given me. I can confidently say that I would not have achieved my admissions results in the UK had it not been for the resources ARCH provided me with. While the application process for Oxford seemed incredibly daunting initially, my consultant and mytutors helped to break it down for me and made it far more manageable. I received invaluable feedback on my personal statement, especially in the early stages, making the writing process much less difficult than expected. Also, my tutors prepared me extremely well for the BMAT and the Oxford interviews. Thank you so much to Arch!
Read MoreI am very grateful to have ARCH by my side during my University application process. ARCH is extra helpful in reminding me of due dates and guiding me to get my essays completed at a good pace and before the deadlines. I appreciate getting help in brainstorm ideas, understanding how to use my own voice and to bring out the best version of me in my essays. Thank you ARCH for all your insights and invaluable advice.
Read MoreThere is no way I can have this level of success without help from ARCH. Thanks again for all the support I get from ARCH throughout my entire application process. I would like to express my profound gratitude for receiving invaluable advice through the University Application Support program.
Read MoreWhen I first started at ARCH, I had no experience at all with US universities. I went in to university counselling expecting a strict, deadline-based counselor who would drown any essay I wrote in a sea of red annotations. While the deadlines remained an unfortunate reality, my counselors were a brilliant mix of demanding and encouraging, so working with them was smooth sailing. No essay drowning occurred. Well before the admissions process began, my counselors had already planned out my essay-writing timeline, and I was quite relaxed going into the process because I knew exactly when everything was due. They also gave me advice on what to do to improve my CV more over the couple years that I knew them. This was extremely useful, as I wouldn’t have thought of doing half the things that I did if it weren’t for them, and having 2 counselors meant that I got more advice, so that was great. Throughout the admissions process, not only did they keep me motivated to write the myriad of essays, their edits were also really helpful and I got to improve my own writing skills along the way. To prepare for interviews, I also had some mock interviews with another counselor. This was really beneficial because I had never done a school interview before, so the heads-up on what to expect and do was really appreciated and helped ease my anxieties about it. In the end, I’m really grateful to ARCH, especially my counselors, for helping me get through the treacherous sea that is US college admissions!

As parents, we are overjoyed to see the positive changes in our son from his cognitive ability to interview sills, personality and interests. Thanks again to ARCH!
Read MoreDuring my boarding school application process, in the beginning my parents and I are unsure how we are going to organise my application as there is a list of things I have to do which includes several essays and questions for me to answer.

It has been a long ride, and I simply cannot fully explain in words how much ARCH has helped me along the way.
Coming to ARCH as a girl in her penultimate year of secondary school, I had little idea as to what I was going to do in the future. Perhaps I would read law, I said to myself, and that is why I was assigned to a tutor, who will then go on to become one of the most important teachers of my life.
My journey at ARCH started with an LNAT workshop, and I still remember being dumbfounded by the level of difficulty of the multiple-choice questions. ARCH provided me with ample practices, in addition to detailed and personalised feedback that enabled me to locate the clues for each answer more accurately. Despite completing the actual LNAT exam, I still believe that the multiple-choice questions are challenging, even more so had ARCH not been there to walk with me. As a student studying in a local school and preparing for the HKDSE curriculum, I have been attending several tutorial classes, yet none can be compared to the experience offered by ARCH.
As for the LNAT and CLT essays, I still remember vividly that tutors would say “the best essays are the ones that does not give a simple yes or no to the question” and then go on to suggest ways to improve my essays. On one hand, I am so glad that I had the opportunity to learn such high order thinking skills from ARCH. It shaped the way I think, enabling me to distinguish between different scenarios. While my essays are far, far from being perfect, I felt a sense of accomplishment when I realised that I could apply these essential skills in my Cambridge Law Test essay. On the other hand, I am impressed by the points the tutors raised during the feedback sessions — I myself might have never considered them. ARCH provides me with the drive [motivation] and the tools required to enhance my intellectual capacity.
ARCH was equally resourceful and helpful when it comes to my personal statement and guided reading sessions. Reading several cases like R vs Brown, R vs Blaue, the McDonald’s Coffee case truly ignited my passion and determination to pursue law at university. I should confess that I might not really mean it when I wrote, at the beginning of the personal statement sessions, I was passionate about law. Yet, ARCH helped me found my genuine passion. I was asked what inspired me to read law. The Prohibition on Face Covering Regulations came into my mind, prompting me to reflect on the balance between social order and individual rights. Every interviewer I came across, be it in two of my Cambridge interviews or the Jardine interview, picked up on this and asked me about the legislation. In retrospect, advice and guidance offered by ARCH truly made my personal statement ‘personal’.
I have also benefited from numerous interview prep sessions with knowledgeable tutors. I was in doubt, and they answered my queries. I was insecure, and they boosted my confidence. I was stuck, and they provided me with alternative ways to approach a problem, inspiring me to come up with even more innovative ideas. Such preparation enabled me to handle the actual interviews better than I could have ever imagined. That said, these sessions also to me revealed my shortcomings. As I engaged in more intellectual conversation, I could feel that I was improving, yet there is still room for more.
All in all, ARCH has provided me with unwavering support and invaluable guidance in terms of the LNAT, CLT, guided reading, personal statement and interview preparation. I don’t have the exact words to truly describe how grateful I am. Now that my university admissions prep journey at ARCH is nearing an end, I strive to work even harder in the future. Meanwhile, I wish to contribute, if possible, to the field of education as well, since I personally experienced how powerful and meaningful it can be.
Consultant / Tutor Sharing
C.K. was keenly passionate about law yet ambitious at the same time, aiming at Oxbridge, the Jardine Scholarship and top UK law schools. Besides subject knowledge enhancement, admissions profiling, statement guidance and interview prep, it was therefore key for her to nail her aptitude test preparation, namely the Cambridge Law Test (which is no longer required for Cambridge) and the LNAT for leading UK law schools. With our teaching expertise and provision of extensive resources for self-practice, C.K. was able to achieve this goal and ultimately secure an offer from Cambridge as a Jardine Scholar.
