About this practice
Apex Education Group is an independent education consulting practice with two counsellors. Because we are student-paid only, we compare institutions without any financial interest in where you enrol. We work with students from shortlisting through to enrolment.

"Lin's knowledge of UBC and SFU graduate programs was very specific. She helped me write a better research statement without writing it for me."
