Arbor Strategy Consulting has worked with over 600 students from all backgrounds. While a significant proportion of our students are based in the UAE, many have attended high schools across the globe in locations such as Serbia, the US, India, Switzerland, Italy, Nigeria, the UK and Lebanon. The results speak for themselves. Approximately 50% of our students have enrolled at universities that are ranked among the top 25 in the US, top 10 in the UK, or top 5 in Canada and Europe. Our remaining students have all enrolled in other top tier universities in these regions.

Got Questions? We've Got Answers
We approach each student individually and assign them each to either Alex or Talal, both of whom are partners and highly experienced. Our work is thus 1-on-1 in nature from start to finish.
Not at all! Part of our process is helping you explore your options. We guide you through identifying universities that align with your goals, strengths, and interests. Our mission is to help you discover and gain admission to the best-fit schools.
We work with students from as early as Year 10 (9th Grade) and would recommend starting as early as possible, although many families do come to us later on in the journey. This is so we can have as much impact as possible in order to achieve the best possible outcomes for our families.
Absolutely not. We have worked with students based all over the globe, from the Americas to East Asia. As we are based in the UAE, we would naturally be working on a purely virtual basis with students abroad, however we have many years of experience with this and have found identical quality of work and results through working on this basis compared with in-person.
We work with students of all academic backgrounds and abilities. Our ultimate goal is always to find the best-fit universities and programs for each of our students.
