Advisory is the guidance arm of Allay. The core of what we do is placing students into real work. Advisory is for the students and families who also want expert eyes on the application itself: the direction, the essays, the activities list, the full file.
Every advisor works inside the same network that runs our placements, across every time zone we serve. Book a single service or combine them into a package.
