Admissions Counselling for Grade 11

All three of our siblings have worked with Dr Fraser and DecidEd. He even built an entirely new program to work with my youngest brother. We’re now all in various Medical Schools with multiple offers.

‍

I cannot recommend the DecidEd team enough not just because of the success we had, but the care and sensitivity taken with all of us. Three different people with a similar goal but different fears, anxieties and challenges. It was truly personal.

Our daughter was extremely shy and in many sense still is. Since working with Dr Fraser and his team she’s now confident in herself and this has made a world of difference to her life. I believe it was genuinely the difference in her achieving a 3430 on the UCAT and then getting through the grueling UNSW Interviews.

‍

Seeing her smile after the Interviews was unreal for my wife and I as she doesn’t do that. I asked if she got the question she practiced and she said “No, but I am happy with who I am and my answers and I hope that’s enough

I was devastated after receiving two interviews and not getting into either College in 2020. I was a tad ashamed and didn’t want to accept my parents money for private University.

‍

I spoke with Dr Fraser and formulated a plan for 2021. 12 months later I got 3 offers and unbelievably, one from The University of Melbourne, my dream University

We thought we had done a lot of research ourselves but didn’t realise what we didn’t know until speaking with the DecidEd team. We had lots of offers to study across Australia and the UK but in the end took the prestigious scholarship offer that we’re fortunate to be encouraged to apply for.

‍

As a parent, Dr Fraser and his team were incredibly accessible and accommodating, ensuring we felt in control along the way.

I thought I’d missed my opportunity to study at an elite university but Dr Fraser encouraged me to be bold and helped me to remain focussed.

‍

I’m so glad I took his advice and the team at DecidEd as it allowed me to get 4 study offers, 2 with complete scholarships and 2 with partial scholarships.

I completely sucked at Chemistry before working with Dr Fraser. Not only did he transform my marks but his guidance and mentorship helped me achieve a score that guaranteed me a full scholarship to study Psychology at my number one preference University. And Chemistry ended up my highest scoring subject?

‍

Dr Fraser also secured me career transforming work experience with industry experts who are in my network to this day.

Studying at Oxford was a dream come true for me though I didn’t genuinely want to get my hopes up for fear of being let down. At every step of the way the team at DecidEd ensured I not only put my best foot forward but also felt secure in my fate.

‍

This was so crucial to my performance in the interviews in hindsight and helped me secure my offer.

Despite being academically gifted I struggled with psychometric testing. Not only did DecidEd get me into Medical School, but I was also able to secure a prestigious UK degree, win prizes during my studies, publish research papers, and ultimately, set myself up to come home to multiple internships offers in Australia.

‍

DecidEd didn’t stop until the goal was reached.

Securing a scholarship for my international studies was crucial due to financial constraints. DecidEd’s team worked tirelessly to identify scholarship opportunities that matched my academic achievements, extracurricular activities and personal interests. Due to their experience, they prepared me ahead of time building a CV that would make me stand out and be a competitive applicant. Thanks to their support, I was awarded a full scholarship to pursue my public health degree at Emory University.

‍

I am forever grateful for their help.

Becoming a medical student at a prestigious Medical School was my lifelong ambition. I reached out to DecidEd, and they transformed my aspirations into reality. They reviewed my application to help it stand out, organised shadowing opportunities at local hospitals, and helped me secure a research position that lead to a publication. They also supported me for the pre-medical UCAT exam, where I scored above 3000.

‍

Today, I am fulfilling my dream as a medical student in the UK because of DecidEd’s guidance

Studying abroad was a dream, but the application process seemed daunting. From day one, they provided personalised guidance, helping me identify the best-fit universities based on my career goals. They also connected me with internships that aligned perfectly with my career.

‍

Their interview preparation workshops were instrumental in building my confidence, and I felt I aced my interviews.

‍

Today, I'm pursuing my Bachelor of Science degree at Stanford university, and I couldn't be more grateful for DecidEd’s unwavering support.

Studying computer science in an ivy league school in America was a goal I had set my sights on, but the prospects of that happening seemed unlikely. Thankfully, I enrolled with DecidEd from grade 9 and they proved to be the perfect guide throughout my journey. They advised me to enroll in computer coding competitions and facilitated internships with tech companies that matched my interests.

‍

DecidEd also prepared me well for my SAT exam, allowing me to score within the 98th percentile.

Taking on a PhD while doing my MD seemed insane but Dr Fraser not only saw the potential in me, but helped me navigate the obstacles in my mind. He was my “silent supervisor” helping me to manage the various stakeholders until I was ready to let go.

‍

I’m so glad I got his advice and guidance - I now feel in control and headed toward an exciting future.
