Welcome to One Ambition
Across three continents and for 13 years, we have inspired students to dream of global elite universities, such as Harvard, Oxford, and other phenomenal top 100 universities in the USA, the UK, Canada, and Europe. Expertly guiding them through the complicated maze of university applications in different countries, our students have experienced great success. Our motto: Ambition is an attitude.
​​​​
Success: Transforming students into powerful writers and orators who get results, each student received admission to at least one of the top three universities on their list. Through a wondrous mix of confidence-building, reading and subject-based creative writing, we motivate students to become the most compelling versions of themselves by making transformation fun.
​​​​​​​
Student Focus: Supporting students as they prepare applications for top-tier Liberal Arts Colleges, Private and Public universities in the USA, the UK, Canada and Europe, we work both in-person and online. Focusing on English-taught programs both in English speaking countries and non-English speaking countries, such as Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and Sweden where English-taught programs are of high quality. Uncovering the exceptionalism in students from Grades 10-12 as well as university students and professionals aiming for top-tier Graduate-level programs (MA, MSc, MBA, JD, PhD, and MD) we call forth the souls of poets within.
​​
University Focus: Our other goal is to give promising young talents a broader view from the top of international higher education - one that includes and expands beyond the Ivy League and Oxbridge. Expanding knowledge of prestigious but lesser known top-100 universities through our signature Link Program, we offer engaging opportunities for diverse student audiences to meet directly with top-100 university admissions representatives.
​​​​​​​​
Why Choose Us? Sparking the creative nerve-center of your brain we ensure that the multifaceted talents and experiences supporting your candidacy fully come to life (1) in English, (2) in applications, and (3) in interviews. At the same time we expose students and schools to universities of wonder throughout the top 100 so that they may make informed decisions about their future.

"Shantoba was an absolute pleasure to work with through the admissions process, and I am so grateful for her help and support through the overwhelming number of decisions one needs to make during the college admissions process. She conscientiously spends time to get to know you as a person, asking lots of thoughtful questions and diving deep into interests and goals. By understanding what I wanted my future to look like, she empowered me to strive for those goals by ensuring they were highlighted in my essays and that I was applying for schools that were the best fit. Her highly personalized approach helped ensure I always felt supported through such a pivotal decision in my life."
