About University
In 1873, a university was built to “strengthen the ties which should exist between all sections of the common country.” As a result, Vanderbilt University established a legacy of academic excellence imbued with collaboration and collective effort. The university's mission is “to bring out the best in humanity by advancing new ideas, pushing the boundaries of possibility, and diligently serving others.” The university is built upon an interconnected, park-like campus in the vibrant city of Nashville, Tennessee. The campus symbolises the enduring connections that bind the Vanderbilt community.
For the 150 years of its existence, Vanderbilt University has strived for academic excellence. At Vanderbilt's renowned schools and colleges, education is alot more than just degree programs. It is the means to improve the Vanderbilt community and the world. Some of the world’s top faculty members provide every degree program at the institute. Today, the university has more than 7,000 undergraduate students engaged in various fields, following their interests, and building enduring relationships as part of a diverse global student community.

Frequently Ask Questions
Your guide to finding the personal and professional improvement programs to fit your needs
The services provided by the counsellors on CounsellingX include all the basic and subject-specific admission requirements. They can range from the selection of suitable colleges to interview preparation. Some of the key services provided by the counsellors are:
- Selection of suitable colleges
- SOP/ Personal Essay/ Supplements review
- Scholarship details
- Interview Preparation
- Reviewing Admission application.
Some of the counsellors on CounsellingX have a green tick mark on the top left corner of their profiles. The green tick indicates that all the information mentioned in the counsellor’s profile is authentic and has been verified by CounsellingX’s quality assurance department.
When seeking admission counselling, students can go one of two ways. They can either request a specific service or get end-to-end counselling. In end-to-end counselling, the counsellor helps the student from selecting suitable universities till getting an acceptance letter from one of the universities. Students are, hence, provided with a guarantee of admission to one of the universities approved by the counsellor. However, note that there is no guarantee if end-to-end counselling is not requested.
For guaranteed admission, the student holds the payment of the last instalment until at least one acceptance letter is received. As soon as the final offer is received, the counsellee is required to release the last instalment. Failing to do so within 10 days of receiving the offer, CounsellingX, itself, will release the payment to the counsellor.
Furthermore, if, for instance, a counsellor guaranteed admission of a student in the Fall semester but the student did not secure admission in any one of the universities finalised with the consent of the counsellor, then the counsellor would need to provide counselling to the student for the next Spring or Fall semester. The semester would be of the counsellee’s choosing and the counsellor would not charge extra in this case. If a counsellor fails to do so, he/she will be removed from the CounsellingX platform effective immediately.
Counsellors, who provide their services on CounsellingX, are freelancers with an ample amount of admission counselling experience. Most of the counsellors on our platform have as many as 50 or more successful placements. Furthermore, they, themselves, are mostly graduates from the top universities in the world.
Students can pay for the counselling services through our online payment system called “Cybersource”. CounsellingX accepts payments through credit cards or direct bank-to-bank transfers.
The counsellor and counsellee will have their online counselling sessions on Skype or Gotomeeting.com, in regions where Skype is banned. Additionally, all the documents will be shared by the counsellor with the counsellee or vice versa via email or Skype.
