If you are a student or a parent interested in getting into some of the world's best universities, if you need to improve your school grades, or if you have an exam you need to prepare for – we look forward to hearing from you.


Gaining admission to top universities is a highly competitive process that requires a strategic and multi-faceted approach. Based on our 13 years of experience assisting students globally, A&J has developed a comprehensive framework known as A&J Admissions Formula. This formula outlines the core components applicants need to focus on to maximise their chances of success at world-class institutions in the UK, USA, Canada, and beyond.

At A&J, our work extends beyond application guidance. We help families navigate the full ecosystem of higher education, including the shifting political and cultural dynamics that can impact where — and how — students are admitted. In this guide, we break down the key developments in the Harvard–Trump situation and offer clear, practical insights to help families stay informed and prepared in today’s rapidly changing academic environment.
