Admissions Consulting
Why Aether Education?
Elite admissions isn’t just about grades. We craft winning applications that showcase who you are – not just what you’ve done.
85% of our students gain admission to their top-choice schools including Ivy League, Oxbridge, global top 50s and top Hong Kong local universities. But numbers only tell half the story. We focus on what committees really want: candidates who stand out, not just test scores.
In addition to overseas admissions, we specialize in transfers for mainland Chinese students seeking to study in Hong Kong, as well as local Hong Kong school transfers. Whether you're aiming for international prestige or a seamless move within the region, our tailored consulting ensures your unique story shines through.
Our Clients Say It Best.
