Your path to Oxbridge and America's finest universities

Tailored, hands-on admissions guidance and college counselling from Cambridge and Yale alumni who went on to build careers at McKinsey and beyond.

Introduction

Your bridge to the future

The world has changed. Artificial intelligence and accelerating technological change have upended the traditional approach to choosing a university, selecting a major, and building a career. To secure the opportunities of tomorrow, students need to start preparing earlier and making better, more informed decisions. We have not just studied at the world's top universities, we have also worked at the most sought-after firms. We have interviewed students for Yale and Cambridge, evaluated graduates competing for roles at McKinsey, and recruited talent for technology companies we built ourselves. We work directly with each student in a hands-on, personalised manner to develop a tailored application and education plan that sets them up for a successful career in a fast-changing world. No junior counsellors. No templates. Just two founders, fully invested in one outcome.

The Founders

They know the path because they've lived it

Portrait of Faraz Khan

Faraz Khan

Faraz read Computer Science as a Cambridge Commonwealth Scholar at the University of Cambridge (BA Hons, MA) and went on to complete his MBA at INSEAD; a combination that places him among a rare cohort that has excelled at both the world's most rigorous technical and business institutions. He has built his career across top technology and professional services firms including McKinsey and Goldman Sachs, with that journey taking him to some of the world's most dynamic business hubs, from the US and UK to Singapore, Europe, and the Middle East.
Across his career and beyond, Faraz has dedicated himself to developing the next generation, mentoring students and young professionals across leading institutions and returning as visiting faculty on multiple occasions. His guidance has helped many find the right subject and university, position themselves for the opportunities they deserve, and build careers that are genuinely fulfilling.
Portrait of Haroon Sethi

Haroon Sethi

Haroon has a double degree in Economics and Mechanical Engineering from Yale University and graduated with Tau Beta Pi honors, ranking among the top 5% of science and engineering students. Haroon joined Citigroup as an investment banking analyst straight out of university before switching to a career in management consulting at McKinsey and Company. He spent 10 years leading some of the most ambitious education reform and skill development consultancy programmes in the world.
Subsequently Haroon launched and internationally scaled up Proqura, an award-winning enterprise technology software solution. Drawing on his hands-on expertise in the technology space, Haroon has served for the past 5 years as a national government advisor on a host of digital transformation projects.

Why Fellows

Bespoke guidance directly from the founders

Customized for you, from start to finish

Most admissions counselling follows a formula - the same university lists, the same personal statement structures, the same generic advice applied to every student, every application. At Fellows, we start from scratch. We help you figure out what to study, which universities to target, and how to position your story for success. Every decision is tailored to who you are; your interests, your strengths, your ambitions, your priorities. No templates. No shortcuts.

Counselled by those who have done it

Few counsellors have first-hand experience of Oxbridge or the Ivy League, and fewer still have built careers at the world's most elite firms. Our founders have navigated every stage of what you are about to face; the applications, the interviews, the decisions that follow. Between them, they have conducted and evaluated over a thousand interviews across the world's top institutions. They know what great storytelling looks like and how to craft yours.

Guided personally by the founders

The admissions counselling industry runs on volume. Hundreds of students, guided by junior counsellors - not by the founders behind the brand. At Fellows, we do things differently. Every student works directly with both founders. Every applicant is guided, challenged and supported at every step, not just through the application, but through every decision that shapes the path ahead. No handoffs. No shortcuts. Two founders, fully invested in you.
