How we count

  1. Universities our students go to: twenty-two named universities, plus leading universities in China, American universities in Qatar, and American universities in the UAE, each counted once, so at least 25. The mentor network is a separate count.
  2. Guarantee: ScoreMarch Academy writes the score into the contract before lessons begin: 1450+ on the Advanced plan, 1350+ on the Base plan. Admission starts with an interview: we take a student on only when we can see we will get them to the stated score, and when we cannot, we say so plainly and take no money.
  3. SAT: total scores (400–1600) from official College Board reports, for 46 students on our SAT track since December 2022.
  4. Our instructor’s 1580 is a superscore (the best section scores across sittings).

Temet nosce · Know thyself

The application is the medium. You are the message.

“Essays, activities, test scores, recommendations are a medium to convey who you are. Many students ask us about how they can craft a compelling narrative. We have one answer: Become an interesting and a genuinely passionate person in whatever you’re doing. The rest comes along.”

ScoreMarch

Temet nosce is the Latin form of “know thyself,” the maxim inscribed in Greek at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. It sits beneath our crest because it comes before everything else.

The March

Five steps. Every one counted.

Every engagement follows the same five steps. The fifth stroke closes the tally, and most regular-decision letters arrive in March.

  1. Step 1 of 5: Know

    Your dossier and a first conversation: who you are, what you love, and where you stand.

    Done whenWe can say in one sentence what makes you interesting.

  2. Step 2 of 5: Plan

    A school list, a testing plan, and a calendar built backward from every deadline.

    Done whenEvery deadline, test date, and task sits on one calendar.

  3. Step 3 of 5: Build

    The real work: a project inside a $70B+ firm, a personal website, a mentor, and SAT preparation with the Academy if you need it.

    Done whenThere is real work to point to, not just a title.

  4. Step 4 of 5: Write

    Essays you draft and we question, line by line, until every sentence sounds like you on your best day.

    Done whenEach essay could only have been written by you.

  5. Step 5 of 5: Apply

    Applications filed, interviews rehearsed, and every deadline met.

    Done whenThe last application is in. Then, March.

Four strokes and a slash: the tally on our crest, and the shape of every engagement.

How we count Total scholarships: the scholarships and financial aid our students were awarded at the 22 named universities they go to. We count need-based financial aid as a scholarship too, because most of these universities are need-aware for international students, so financial aid is part of the admission decision itself. Universities in China, Qatar, and the UAE are not counted.

The extracurricular engineThe engine

Real work, inside firms valued at $70B+.

An admissions reader can tell a title from a contribution. We build contributions, inside large global firms across six sectors.

Four formats

  • Projects
  • Internships
  • Shadowing
  • Applied research
  • Hotel chains

    Hospitality at global scale

    A student might

    Study how one room is priced across a season, or redesign a guest’s first ten minutes, from the curb to the key card.

  • International airlines

    Networks, schedules, and safety, across borders

    A student might

    Model a new route out of Samarkand, or trace how one delayed departure ripples through a day of connections.

  • Airports

    Logistics and flow at the scale of a city

    A student might

    Follow a passenger from check-in to gate to find the minutes worth saving, or map the unseen route of a suitcase.

  • Construction

    Engineering and planning on large builds

    A student might

    Shadow the engineers on a large build, and learn how a schedule survives budgets, inspections, and weather.

  • Software

    Products, code, and the teams that ship them

    A student might

    Ship a small feature with a real team, or interview users and turn what they say into a product brief.

  • Servers & data centers

    The physical internet

    A student might

    See where the cloud physically lives, and study what keeps it running: power, cooling, and every minute of uptime.

Illustrative examples. Every project is scoped around the student and the firm.

We don’t publish firm names. We discuss them in consultation.

“Student,” in the languages of our network.

In their own words.

  • “In my perspective, the most paramount thing is to commence the preparation at the earliest stage possible. I was procrastinating my essay until November and it was not an optimal decision. Please utilize your summer efficiently.”

    Aziza S. First-year student South Korea

  • “Do not attempt to fabricate a persona which is not authentic. Admission officers can perceive it immediately. Instead, articulate your genuine intellectual curiosity, even if it seems trivial for you.”

    Sardor G. Second-year student United States

  • “Furthermore, I want to emphasize that a rejection is not a reflection of your value as an individual. I received many rejections, nevertheless I am thriving now. Resilience is a very crucial component of this process.”

    Azim A. First-year student Qatar

  • “My recommendation is to establish a consistent routine for the SAT. Two hours daily is more beneficial than ten hours in one weekend, because the cognitive retention is significantly enhanced.”

    Michael Sh. First-year student Italy

  • “When you are writing the supplemental essays, conduct a comprehensive research about the university. Mention specific professors and courses, because generic statements are not demonstrating your fit.”

    Sherzod Sh. Second-year student China

  • “Utilize your mentor. Ask the questions which you consider naive. I was hesitant to disturb my mentor, which was a huge misconception, because they are eager to facilitate your progress.”

    Timur B. First-year student Malaysia

From the instructor’s notebookThe notebook

Behind every score, a habit.

Two practice tests a day. A Reading and Writing score that climbed from the 400s to 710. When the scores came in, our SAT instructor wrote a few lines about the students behind them.

  • Curiosity

    “By far the most passionate student I have had. She asked questions I could not answer; at times it felt as if she should be teaching me. Great reasoning, and the first from the October–December group to score 700+.”

    Aziza Z. · 1470 · Dec 2024Signed: Our instructor
  • Discipline

    “Very humble and very hard-working. He completed two practice tests a day, every day, until his exam.”

    Samir R. · 1450 · Dec 2023Signed: Our instructor
  • Comeback

    “He joined my January–March group with a Reading and Writing score in the 400s. Through immense effort and discipline, he made an impressive comeback: 710.”

    Bakhtiyor S. · Reading and Writing 710 · Mar 2025Signed: Our instructor
  • Belief

    “I never underestimated him. His 1500 came on his first attempt.”

Questions, answered

What families ask first.

Straight answers on guarantees, cost, timing, integrity, and privacy.

No. Universities decide admission, and no one can honestly promise it. We commit to the work: a clear strategy, real experience, and essays in your own words. The only thing we guarantee in writing is an SAT score, through ScoreMarch Academy, with terms fixed in the contract before lessons begin.

You do, every word. We ask the questions that find the story, challenge every draft, and refine it with you, line by line.

Admissions engagements are scoped and priced after your consultation, because no two students need the same work. The Academy has two fixed plans: Base guarantees 1350+ and Advanced guarantees 1450+, with terms fixed in the contract before lessons begin. We share the fees on request.

The earlier you start, the deeper the work can go. Three or four years before you finish school, there is time to build. Two years out is very workable. In the final year, we focus on strategy, essays, and applications.

Projects, internships, shadowing, and applied research inside global firms valued at $70 billion or more, in hospitality, aviation, airports, construction, software, and data centers. Each project is scoped around the student’s interests. We don’t publish firm names; we discuss them in consultation.

No. We are based in Samarkand, and we work online with students anywhere. Our students have been admitted in seven countries: the USA, South Korea, Italy, Israel, China, Qatar, and the UAE.

The SAT is taught separately, by ScoreMarch Academy: one-on-one, with an instructor who superscored 1580. You can work with one house or both. The score guarantee is fixed in the contract before lessons begin, and the Academy takes a student on only when it can see the way to the stated score. When it can’t, it says so plainly and takes no money.

Because we take a small number of students each season, and each one works with the people doing the work. Join the waitlist, and we’ll write to you about a seat.

Yes. ScoreMarch is well suited to families who value privacy. Sessions are one-on-one, each season is small, and we never share your information with universities, firms, or mentors without your permission. Results on this site show only a first name and last initial. The privacy notice has the details.
