Nicolas, it was great speaking with you. Following our call, we’ve put together a shortlist and a plan for your September 2027 applications, focused on your interest in business, entrepreneurship and start-up culture, with IE as your first choice.
We’d keep IE as the main goal while applying to other universities that match what you’re looking for: business programmes taught in English, an international student community and opportunities to explore entrepreneurship alongside your studies.
For IE, we’d be aiming for an ATAR of 89 or above. For the other shortlisted universities, 85 or above would be a competitive academic target, alongside your written application, assessments and interviews.
If your predicted ATAR is below 89, we’d start with your safety options and other suitable applications, then apply to IE once your final results are out if you achieve 89 or above. We can work on your IE application materials in the meantime, so you’re ready when your results arrive.
If your predicted ATAR is already 89 or above, we can look at applying to IE earlier.
What We’ve Focused On

Bachelor in Business Administration
IE would remain our priority, based on your interest in business and its entrepreneurial environment. We’d work together to communicate what attracts you to IE and how your interests and experiences connect with the programme.

France
Programme
Global BBA
ESSEC gives us another option for your shortlist, combining your interest in business with an international study experience.
ATAR target for these alternatives: 85+ as a competitive academic target. Your overall application will also matter.
If you choose the All of Europe package, we can also explore UK and Dutch universities and add options that suit your interests, academic profile and preferred locations.
We can also consider Bocconi, depending on your SAT score.
Room to Adjust the List
We can add, remove or swap universities as your results come in or your preferences change, within your chosen package. We’d identify which options are more attainable for your profile and add further safety choices if needed. The aim is to have alternatives you would be pleased to attend while we work towards IE.
We’d begin by working on each university’s written application together. You’ll bring your experiences and ideas, and we’ll help you decide what to include, how to structure it and how to express it clearly.
What we’d work on:
We’ll work through the drafts together until each application is ready to submit.
Once your written materials are ready, we’d help you complete the application forms, upload the required documents and review everything before submission. If your predicted ATAR is below 89, we’d start with your safety options and other suitable universities, keeping IE ready for when your final results arrive.
What we’d do together:
After your initial applications are submitted, we’d work together on the next stages required by each university.
What we’d prepare for:
We’d practise your responses together and give you feedback so you feel comfortable discussing your application in your own words. We’ll schedule this around each university’s process, so you’re prepared before any assessment or interview takes place.
As offers arrive, we’d talk through your options together and help you decide which university suits you best.
What we’d help with:
There is no cap on drafts or preparation sessions within your agreed application scope. We’ll keep working with you until your materials are ready and you feel prepared for the next stage.
