How we work
From 1st year of Bachillerato to ensure the students' success.
The Aditus Program is committed to the talent of Spanish students, enhancing their possibilities to study at the most prestigious international universities. We are a non-profit organization and both the technical team and the tutors and collaborators work so that our students achieve the highest level possible of preparation and quality in their applications.
We will help you with the whole process.
Tutors
Son la base de nuestro programa. Te asignaremos un tutor personal dependiendo de tus intereses. Te contarán sus experiencias y resolverán tus dudas en sesiones cada dos semanas, e incluso pueden ayudarte con temas más genéricos, como decidir la carrera que más te interesa.
University guides
We put together guides about the specifics of applying to each university, along with their financial aid.
Supervision
We will follow your progress and provide a schedule so that the tasks don't pile up. At each step we will supply information on how to proceed.
Essays
With the help of your tutors and the Aditus team you will iterate over the different drafts of your admission essays. They will make suggestions so that you can make the most out of your abilities and experiences.
Exams
We have an exam coach for the SAT. American students spend a great amount of time preparing them, and thus we want our students to have access to professional help for this process. We will also guide you with the TOEFL and Oxbridge admission exams.
After Aditus
Most of our students remain in Aditus as tutors for the program. We also keep in contact with the students once at university to support them with anything they may need help with.
Foreign universities
The United States and United Kingdom differ with respect to Spain and between themselves when it comes to their educational approach. To make an informed decision, it is important to be aware of these differences.
Our students
We have 4 years of experience. Thus we already have success stories of students who are following those programs that attracted them the most.
Selection process
Nuestro proceso de selección es sencillo y está abierto desde Noviembre a primero de bachillerato. Buscamos en nuestros estudiantes Aditus la misma excelencia que les van a pedir las mejores universidades.

A PARTIR DE MARZO DE 2023
Te ayudaremos a preparar los exámenes para Estados Unidos
Recibirás varias clases impartidas por un experto preparador, para poder presentarte al SAT (Scholarship Aptitude Test). Es un exámen equivalente a la Evau en España y comprende fundamentalmente las materias que estarás dando en tu curso académico. También te exigirán una prueba de nivel de inglés, el exámen TOEFL.
SAT exams can be taken in various cities in Spain several times a year and are organised by the College Board. You can find all the information at www.collegeboard.org. TOEFL exams take place on various dates each month; information at www.ets.org.
A partir de Abril de 2023
Start of tutorials Tus tutores te ayudarán en la elección de carreras, universidades, y explicarán las diferencias existentes con España en reuniones de alrededor de una hora cada dos semanas.
Te recomendaremos aplicar a unas 7-8 universidades. Está bien ser ambicioso, pero al mismo tiempo consciente de la dificultad y equilibrar la selección. Además, buscaremos que las universidades que escojan se adapten a tu perfil: especialidades académicas, porcentajes de admisión, información sobre becas, ayuda financiera, etc.
ENTRE MARZO Y DICIEMBRE DEL 2023
Deberás realizar el TOEFL, el SAT u otros específicos de las universidades a las que vas a solicitar.
A PARTIR DE MAYO DEL 2023
Find out about financial aid, together with our team and tutors.
Even though tuition fees are high many universities will provide financial aid, with many students receiving need-based scholarships. The aid may be available as scholarships, loans, student work on campus, or a combination of some of these. A full scholarships is also a possibility.
The admissions process is not affected by requesting financial aid.
ENTRE MAYO Y DICIEMBRE DE 2023
Prepare the required essays with the aid of your tutors. Iteraremos sobre las diferentes versiones y con las características que cada país/universidad requiera. Por ejemplo, en el caso de Estados Unidos los ensayos serán de carácter introspectivo.
Es importantísimo escribir buenos ensayos (redacciones), a través de los cuales darte a conocer: reflexiones, experiencias vitales, intereses y pasiones por temas, etc. Querrán comprobar que eres una persona que muestra motivación y capacidad de liderazgo tanto dentro como fuera de las aulas.
SEPTIEMBRE DE 2023
Request the recommendation letters. Most universities will ask for two recommendation letters from your high-school teachers. You will not be the one writing them, but it is advisable that you communicate the task well to your referees. In the United States they will also ask for a recommendation letter from someone else: a boss you may have had, an instructor, a tutor, or someone you know who studied in the United States and can provide evidence that you would fit in this environment.
DICIEMBRE DE 2023
Wrap app the application. La mayoría de las universidades funcionan a través de formularios centralizados: la Common Application (www.commonapp.org) en Estados Unidos, o Studielink (www.studielink.nl) en Holanda. Algunas como MIT tienen un formulario específico, MyMIT.
Es muy importante revisar concienzudamente las solicitudes varias veces. Asegúrate de que tu colegio ha enviado las cartas de recomendación y de que las universidades han recibido las notas del SAT y el TOEFL.
ENERO Y FEBRERO DE 2024
Interviews. Not all universities will require them and not having one is normally not a bad sign.
In the United Kingdom the interviews will be with a fellow of the University and, particularly at Oxbridge, will focus on your thinking skills. In the United States the interviews are typically with an alumnus. They wish to check that you are motivated and well-informed and that you will be a good fit.
HASTA MAYO DE 2024
Receive the admissions' letters Most universities will email you before April with the outcome of the process. They may place you in a waiting list, thus postponing the decision a few months.
In the United States it is common to email the admissions office stating your interest on the University and possibly updating some of the information on your application form.
DESDE JUNIO DE 2024
¡Choose a university! Get a visa and plan your trip. Once you have been admitted, you must confirm your offer. The university of your choice will then provide you with information about the rest of the process.
