The right university isn't the most famous one. It's the one that fits.
We guide Brazilian students — and the schools that prepare them — through university applications in the United States, Canada, Europe and Oceania. A process as consequential as moving to another country shouldn't be handled in the dark, without someone who already knows the way.
Every university system runs on its own logic.
What counts in a US application isn't what counts in a UK application, and an early-decision calendar doesn't forgive a late start. A family from outside the system — however well informed — can't track that logic alone, on top of grades, exams and everyday school life.
Landfall University Counselling exists for exactly this: a structured process, with steps in the right order, that turns a confusing, deadline-heavy process into a plan with a clear beginning, middle and end.
Two ways to work with Landfall University Counselling.
What's part of it, start to finish.
| Step | What's included |
|---|---|
| Profile assessment | Academic record, extracurricular activities and the student's goals |
| Academic profile building | Course selection, standardized tests and activities across high school |
| University list | Selected for academic, financial and lifestyle fit — not by ranking |
| Application strategy | Deadline calendar, early and regular decision, and how applications are spread out |
| Essays and personal statements | Guidance on content and review, always in the student's own voice |
| Recommendation letters | Guiding teachers on what each system expects from a strong letter |
| Interview preparation | Mock interviews and direct feedback |
| Scholarships & financial aid support | Mapping applicable aid and financial forms |

Three ways to support students applying abroad.
Schools with students applying to universities abroad don't have to choose between offering nothing and building a structure from scratch alone. Landfall University Counselling works across three tracks, which can be hired separately or together.
Outsourced counselling
Direct support for studentsLandfall acts as an extension of the school's staff, working directly with students applying abroad — without the school having to hire and train its own counselor.
- Individual student support, on the school's calendar
- Periodic reports to academic leadership
- Parent meetings when needed
In-house department build-out
Implementation consultingFor schools that want university counselling as a permanent part of their own structure. Landfall designs the process, trains the staff, and stays on until the department runs on its own.
- Design of the process and the annual counselling calendar
- Training for the responsible academic staff
- Support until the operation is self-sufficient
College Board accreditation
SAT and AP test center statusConsulting to help the school register with the College Board and, over time, become an authorized SAT and AP exam center — a step schools usually depend on outside providers for today.
- Review of the requirements that apply to the school
- Support submitting the College Board registration
- Guidance on infrastructure and exam-day coordination
What students, families and schools ask most.
Do you guarantee admission to a specific university?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. No counselling service controls an admissions committee's decision. What we guarantee is a complete process, on the right timeline, with the strongest application the student's profile allows.
Is it too late if my child is already a senior?
No. That's exactly when Senior-Year Counselling makes the most sense — the work is more concentrated, but there's still time to build a solid application for the current cycle.
Do you also cover Canada, Europe and Oceania?
Yes. Each system has its own calendar and requirements, and we adapt the strategy to the country and university the student is targeting.
Can a school hire outsourced counselling while it builds its own team?
Yes — that's actually the most common path. Many schools start with outsourced counselling so current students aren't left without support, while the build-out consulting trains the in-house team in parallel.
Does Landfall US Relocation handle the move after acceptance?
Yes — at that point, the student and family can turn to Landfall US Relocation for the relocation itself. They're independent areas, but they talk to each other when it's useful for the client.
