Built from experience
The people behind IQ have been through the US student process themselves.
About IQ ConsultUS
WE DIDN’T LEARNTHE JOURNEY FROM THE OUTSIDE.WE LIVED IT.
IQ ConsultUS grew from our own experience as US students and from helping people around us make sense of university, visa and moving decisions.
How it started
PERSONAL GUIDANCE CAME FIRST.THE BUSINESS GREW AROUND IT.
Founded in 2020, IQ ConsultUS started by helping students and families in our own network choose universities, apply, prepare for visas and move to the US. Most new students came through referrals.
As the number of students grew, we built stronger systems around the work without losing direct involvement. The people students speak with are the same people actively working on their case.
What shapes the work
GUIDANCE THAT COVERSMORE THAN ADMISSION.
Start with the student
Goals, academic direction, affordability and fit come before application volume.
One process, not separate pieces
Admissions, visa prep, the move and what happens after arrival are planned together.
Personal involvement
IQ ConsultUS is deliberately hands-on. The people students meet are the people shaping the work with them.
The people behind the guidance
THE PEOPLE YOU MEETDO THE WORK.
