A school list is a strategic document, not a wish list. Tychr's shortlisting service builds a personalised, data-informed, strategically balanced list of universities, then designs the application approach for each.
We use historical admissions data by profile type, institutional culture research, and counsellor expertise to identify the schools where your student is genuinely competitive and genuinely well-matched — academically, personally, intellectually, and socially.
Typically: 3–4 reach schools (competitive but uncertain), 4–5 match schools (solidly within admitted range), and 2–3 safety schools (near-certain admission, genuine enthusiasm). Total: 10–14 schools for US applications; max 5 for UCAS.
Which school for Early Decision? Which supplementals to write first? Which schools have the most demanding application requirements and need the most time? Tychr builds a week-by-week application calendar around the finalised list.
For each school on the list, Tychr produces a brief positioning note: what makes this student competitive for this school specifically, what the supplemental essays need to achieve, and what the student should emphasize.
Tychr's online tutoring connects students with subject specialists who know their exam board, their syllabus, and the specific mark scheme language that earns maximum marks.

Extracurriculars are not just a list — they're a narrative. The best profiles tell a coherent story about who the student is and what they'll contribute on campus.
Starting something — a club, a project, a community initiative — demonstrates the entrepreneurial qualities top universities prize.
Three deep commitments beat ten shallow ones. Admissions readers look for genuine passion and impact, not a padded activity list.
We guide students on measuring, recording, and presenting tangible outcomes so their activities carry real weight in applications.
Choose from three internationally recognised programmes — or combine them — based on your child's goals, age, and intended university destinations.
Elite summer programmes at RSI, Yale, Stanford, and Oxbridge do more than fill a summer — they signal academic ambition, create formative experiences, and provide the material for compelling university application essays.
Tychr identifies the right programmes for each student, prepares every application component, and helps students maximise the narrative value of their summer experience.

Oxbridge & Ivy SeminarsFinancial aid is one of the most strategically important and most poorly understood dimensions of the university application process for international students. Tychr's guidance ensures families make fully informed decisions and access every dollar or pound of support available.
| School | International Student Policy |
|---|---|
| Harvard | Need-blind; meets 100% of demonstrated need, no loans |
| Princeton | Need-blind; meets 100% of need, no loans |
| MIT | Need-blind; meets 100% of need |
| Yale | Need-aware for international students |
| Columbia, Penn, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell | Need-aware for international students |
The primary financial aid application for most US private universities. More detailed than FAFSA, it requires extensive documentation of family assets, business interests, and financial profiles.
How Tychr Guides Families:
Key Deadlines: CSS Profile opens October 1. Early Decision applicants must submit alongside their main application; Regular Decision deadlines typically fall in February.
While UK universities do not offer US-style merit scholarships, several dedicated funding streams exist for international students:
University-specific international student bursaries (varies by institution)
Government scholarships (country-specific, Chevening, Commonwealth, GREAT)
Subject-specific foundation scholarships and private funding streams
Tychr maintains an updated database of external scholarships filtered by country of origin and subject area.
“Always apply for financial aid, even if you're uncertain you qualify. The cost of applying is hours. The cost of not applying can be hundreds of thousands of dollars in missed grant support.”

— Tychr Founding Philosophy
You can use any single Tychr service independently, including a one-off essay coaching session, a school list review, or a block of tutoring sessions, with no further commitment. Many students start with a targeted service and expand to a broader programme after experiencing the value. There is no minimum commitment beyond the specific service purchased.
The Admissions Counselling service covers a broad range of university systems and competitiveness levels, from strong state universities to elite global institutions. The Ivy League programme is specifically designed for students targeting the eight Ivy League schools, MIT, Stanford, Oxbridge, and comparable highly selective institutions. It includes deeper essay coaching, more extensive supplemental support, and counsellors who specialise in highly selective admissions.
Absolutely. Tychr is designed to complement school counselling rather than replace it. Many school counsellors value Tychr's involvement, particularly for international applications outside their direct expertise. Tychr can share information and coordinate with school counsellors where doing so benefits the student.
Most students can begin within 48 hours of completing onboarding. For urgent situations, such as an essay deadline in two weeks or an interview in 10 days, you can contact the Tychr team directly so the request can be prioritised.
Yes. Every new tutoring student is entitled to a free trial session before committing to a package. Every admissions inquiry also begins with a free consultation. Neither requires payment or creates an automatic commitment.
Yes. Families with more than one Tychr student can receive a sibling discount, and students studying multiple subjects can receive a package rate. Contact the Tychr team for current pricing and discount details.
If a student is not progressing as expected, Tychr reviews the learning plan, adjusts the session focus, or rematches the student with another tutor when appropriate. Student progress is continuously tracked through the dashboard. If the data indicates a plateau, the coordinator can proactively reach out to discuss next steps.
All student essays, personal statements, and application materials are treated as strictly confidential. They are never shared, published, or used as examples without explicit written consent from the student and family. Tychr takes the integrity of the application process and the authenticity of student work very seriously.
Speak directly with one of our academic advisors — no obligation, no sales pressure. Just an honest conversation about whether Tychr's programme is the right fit for your child.
