Our mission
APUS brings together dedicated and experienced admissions experts and career advisors who have spent years studying and working in various positions both in academic environments and companies in the United States and around the world.
The members of our team dedicate a lot of time and passion to getting to know their students in both academic and non-academic settings in order to discover their strengths and inclinations. Based on that, they work together with the students and their families to design a tailored roadmap, optimizing their chances of admission to suitable academic institutions and workplaces.
According to statistics, participants in our counseling programs can increase their admission chances by 20-30% compared to the average rate and achieve a satisfaction rate of more than 50%.
At APUS, our experts highly value the "authenticity" of each student's profile. Throughout the guidance process, we actively listen and gather important information from students, and then use that information to provide additional guidance, allowing students to read, explore, and make the most appropriate decisions for themselves.

Ha Vi Nguyen - Stanford University
Working with APUS allows me to experience the empowerment and unconditional trust from the team. It is that feeling when you know your wildest dreams can be achieved through hard work and guidance from the mentors.
Nguyen The Quynh (M.I.T & Stanford)
“I don’t know what to say except for my deep gratitude to you, APUS team, for your time and effort and the huge support you brought to me during the application process. I was admitted to two dream schools: Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University! I will bring this “Community Spirit” with me to support the next generations of applicants.”
Dinh Huong Thao - Massachusetts Institute of Technology (#1 NUs)
“What I love and appreciate the most about the APUS team is not only their professionalism and devotion to the consulting process, but, more importantly, the mission and meaningful Tri Viet Scholarship program: to help Vietnamese talents shine in the U.S. I learned from the enthusiasm and pay-it-forward spirit of the APUS team and I am happy to be part of this close-knit community.”
Nguyen Do Quyen - Cornell University (#10 NUs)
“I am extremely impressed by the enthusiasm of APUS instructors and counselors. They have supported me wholeheartedly in my essay writing process and helped my application shine.”
Nguyen Phuong Thao (M.I.T)
“Being a bewildered girl who has just stepped out of the high school gate but raised a dream of studying in the US, I know that many challenges are awaiting ahead. However, I believe in miracles and one day, I met the most wonderful counselors at APUS at the most appropriate time. “We create opportunities” is the slogan of APUS, and I hope more and more young people will receive invaluable advice from APUS during the application to the top universities in the U.S.”
Le Phuong Anh - Brandeis University (#30 NUs)
“I really appreciate that the APUS team has given me precious advices about not only application techniques but also how to prepare myself academically and mentally for college. I love that my mentors have always been so responsive to my questions and supportive of my decisions throughout the stressful application period.”
Do Hoang Nam Hieu - Colgate University (#16 LACs)
“Phuong and Trung have not only been incredibly wonderful mentors to me but also truly supportive friends. Through hours of self exploring, idea brainstorming and at times casual chitchatting, they helped me realize the strengths that I myself have never noticed before and cultivate my interests into something fruitful. Trung was also a mental pillar of support when things didn’t going according to plan, someone who firmly believes in my ability despite the odds. Thanks to APUS, the seemingly daunting application process was transformed into an enjoyable and insightful self-reflective journey.”
Nguyen Thao Huong - Providence College (#1 RUs North)
“Studying abroad is such a long journey–a journey of challenges, worries and hard work; sometimes even despair. Fortunately, I have APUS’ dedicated counselors supporting me in this journey. Thank you so much for bringing me in and make me feel like a family member of yours!”
Nguyen Yen Lan - University of Pennsylvania
"I learned about APUS thanks to a "success story" from a family acquaintance and am truly grateful to the consultants who helped me through the most difficult days of the study abroad application process. Even though all communication takes place online and there is a time zone difference, APUS members are always dedicated and ready to give feedback whether it is an essay, a resume of extracurricular activities, or a letter of recommendation. Especially Ms. Thuy Anh, who has always been patient and understood not only the difficulties in applying but also the details that need to be known and prepared for living and working in the US later."
Nguyen Thi Xuan Na - Brown University
"When I came to APUS, I still had countless doubts about my extremely reckless decision to switch from applying for Vietnamese university admission to applying to study abroad. However, after the first conversation with Ms. Phuong, I was sure that this was the place where I could place my faith and dream of studying abroad. And that's true, when I look back, I have been accompanying Ms. Phuong, Ms. Han, and everyone at APUS through a very long and arduous but extremely worthwhile journey. Ms. Phuong helped me find the bright spots in my application, was always ready to listen to everything I shared and gave me a lot of valuable advice. The experience of writing and editing essays with Ms. Han has helped me learn a lot of useful things not only about how to convey messages effectively but also about how to think about problems. Above all, APUS is where I feel unconditionally trusted and supported in every decision. It can be said that without APUS I would not have been able to go this far. I feel extremely grateful and cherish my time at APUS."
