A thoughtful approach to admissions

There is more to a good choice
than a familiar university name.

Think about the questions that matter to you: what you enjoy learning, how you want to learn, and the kind of environment where you could thrive.

ACADEMIC FIT

Look beyond the course title.

Compare modules, teaching styles, entry requirements, and opportunities to explore your interests. Two courses with the same name can offer very different experiences.

PERSONAL FIT

Picture your everyday life.

Consider location, campus culture, support, and the practical realities of studying away from home. Your preferences belong in the conversation.

A WORKABLE PLAN

Make the next step specific.

Turn an ambitious goal into research tasks, writing milestones, and decisions you can work through alongside school.

Start where you are

You do not need every answer
before the first conversation.

Choose the description that feels closest to your situation.

A useful plan starts with an honest picture.

You may be choosing subjects, balancing an IB workload, developing an interest outside class, or preparing your first draft. Bring the questions you have now.

“I have interests, but no clear direction yet.”

Start by noticing which questions, subjects, and activities keep your attention. A useful next step can be small and specific.

  • Keep a record of what you enjoy learning and why
  • Explore course content before narrowing your options
  • Choose an activity you would want to continue beyond an application

“I know a few options. I need a plan.”

Compare your shortlist against your subjects, preparation time, and family priorities. Identify the information you still need.

  • Check academic prerequisites with official course pages
  • Map likely application tasks around your school calendar
  • Discuss budget and funding expectations early

“My deadlines are approaching.”

Work backwards from verified deadlines and make your outstanding tasks visible. Give yourself space to review and revise.

  • Separate required documents from optional materials
  • Plan time for feedback and your own revisions
  • Keep a record of submission requirements and next steps

Areas to discuss with your mentor

Support that helps you
make your own decisions.

Agree on the areas you need before starting. Session frequency, application coverage, and review limits should be clear in your proposal.

Direction & university research

Discuss potential courses and compare institutions against your academic background, interests, and practical priorities.

Activities & academic planning

Reflect on what your experiences show about you. Identify meaningful next steps that fit around your existing school commitments.

Application organisation

Create a clear overview of documents, deadlines, and responsibilities for the applications within your agreed scope.

Writing & interview preparation

Develop your ideas, review your drafts, and practise explaining your experiences. Your applications should remain your own work and voice.

The mentoring journey

Clear conversations.
Practical next steps.

A suggested way to organise your preparation, adapted to where you are now.

01

For students and parents

Keep the student’s voice
at the centre.

A university decision belongs to the student, with space for the family’s questions and practical priorities.

01

Bring expectations into the open.

Talk about costs, location, independence, and what each family member hopes for. Clear expectations make decisions easier to discuss.

02

Make room for school.

Build preparation around coursework and school deadlines. Discuss how mentoring can complement the guidance already available through your school.

03

Use feedback to develop your thinking.

A strong draft still sounds like its author. Treat feedback as a way to clarify your ideas and make your own revisions.

The small moments
that make a plan feel clearer.

Chloe Tan

IB Diploma student
“I had a list of universities I recognised, but I could not really explain why I wanted to go to them. Comparing the actual courses helped me ask better questions and make a shortlist I felt comfortable with.”

Adrian Wijaya

A Level student
“The essay feedback was specific without taking over my writing. A few questions about one small experience helped me find something more honest to say than the big opening I had been trying to write.”

Isabelle Hartono

International school student
“Having the tasks in one place made the process feel manageable alongside school. I knew what needed my attention that week, and which decisions could wait until I had done more research.”

Daniel Prasetyo

AP curriculum student
“Talking through my activities made me realise I did not need to add another club just to fill a gap. I wanted to spend more time on a project I already cared about and be clearer about what I had learned from it.”

Michelle Santoso

Parent
“We had different ideas about where our daughter should apply. Having a clear set of questions about the course, costs, and everyday life made those conversations much more productive.”

Kevin Lim

Student preparing applications
“Practising an interview helped me notice when I was giving a rehearsed answer. I became more comfortable pausing, thinking about the question, and explaining what I actually meant.”

Your questions, answered

A clearer picture
before you commit.

Understand the scope and practical details of your mentoring plan.

Is this programme for undergraduate applicants?
This page focuses on students preparing for undergraduate study abroad. Share your current curriculum, year group, and goals so the team can discuss a suitable scope.
I am studying IB, A Levels, or AP. Can I enquire?
Yes. Include your curriculum and current subjects when you contact Lister. Programme availability and the support relevant to your qualifications will be confirmed in the consultation.
What if I have not decided on a major?
That is a useful starting point for a conversation. Bring the subjects, activities, and questions that interest you; you do not need a final shortlist before enquiring.
How much does admissions mentoring cost?
Admission Consulting, Interview Prep, and Essay Prep each cost Rp2.275.000 for 5 sessions over 1 month. The SAT + Admissions Bundle costs Rp7.038.500; confirm its session allocation before enrolment.
How many universities and essay reviews are included?
These details depend on the scope agreed in your proposal. Confirm the number of applications, documents, revision rounds, and meeting arrangements before starting.
Will someone write my essays for me?
The intended approach is guidance and feedback on your own ideas and drafts. You remain responsible for your writing, the accuracy of your application, and following each institution’s rules.
Are test preparation and visa services included?
SAT preparation is included in the Admissions Bundle. Confirm the split between SAT and mentoring sessions before enrolling. Test preparation is not automatically included in the other plans. Official test fees, visa services, and other test-preparation courses should be discussed separately.
Can parents be involved?
Parents are welcome to raise questions during the initial discussion. Agree on how family updates and meetings will work while keeping the student involved in decisions.
Does mentoring guarantee an offer or a scholarship?
Mentoring helps you prepare your application, essays, and interview. Admission offers and scholarship awards are decided by the universities and scholarship providers.
