The leading London education consultancy first launched its US College Admissions practice in 2017, in collaboration with Arcus Advisory, in order to help more international students seeking advice on US College application procedures. The firm currently reports that international demand for its services in the US has never been higher.
William Clarence Education is working with Arcus Advisory to ensure that students from the UK, Europe, Middle East, China and beyond have access to the very best specialist advice to aid their application to a US college. William Clarence clients now also have access to Arcus Advisory’s focused 4-stage application cycle, and its excellent connections among some of the US’ finest academic institutions, making it a strong new ally for the firm.

Managing Director of William Clarence Education, Stephen Spriggs, has also appointed Susie Cochin de Billy, founder of Arcus Advisory, as US College Admissions Consultant on the firm’s own board of advisors.
Mr Spriggs commented:
“I’m very excited about this new partnership. William Clarence’s clients now get access to not only the best UK University and Oxbridge advisors, but also have the opportunity to explore educational options outside the UK, all under one roof. This only goes to strengthen our knowledge base of international education, and due to the fact that we are dealing with families from around the world, we are able to offer real value to each client, whatever their individual needs and challenges. We are helping more students than ever before in fulfilling their academic goals across the pond.”
Students from the UK, Europe and Asia are increasingly attracted to the US College education system, as a result of the broader scope for study, and the ability to explore different academic fields simultaneously.
However, the US College application procedure is notoriously competitive and complex, and can be a daunting prospect for international students unfamiliar with standardised testing and personal essays.
Susie Cochin de Billy, founder of Arcus Advisory, commented:
“Due to the sheer amount of preparation required, US College applications have a much longer lead time than that for UK Universities. Aside from SATs and ACTs, students also put a lot of work into personal essays, supplemental essays, and bespoke supplemental materials, such as videos or musical portfolios. When applying to US College, you’re not just applying for a place on a degree program – you’re applying to become a unique contributor in a diverse academic community. Therefore, it’s unsurprising that more applicants from outside the US are seeking help to achieve their goals, and our personalised approach empowers them to achieve those goals, while offering support at every stage of the process.”
William Clarence’s approach, now with support from Arcus Advisory, allows students to create their own bespoke blueprint and timeline for a successful application, including college visits, university shortlisting, and application management. Perhaps even more crucial for international students, the firm also offers targeted preparation courses, designed to improve score results for those unfamiliar with US standardised testing.
Stephen Spriggs added:
“The key to a successful application is developing an effective strategy that works for each individual student, that highlights their own individual talents and abilities and reflects their personal vision, values and goals. Through this new partnership with Arcus Advisory, we now have an unparalleled reach into some of the US’ finest institutions. Arcus Advisory has already overseen some phenomenal successes, with students winning places at Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Georgetown and many more.”
