In addition to these dedicated consultants, we also work closely with experienced former US college admission officers and editors, and our students benefit from their invaluable advice. Most students who approach us have outstanding GMAT/GRE and TOEFL test results, as well as exciting academic or work accomplishments, and they are well equipped to succeed at even the toughest institution. We provide the team support they need to be able to demonstrate their excellence, and we are passionately proud of their achievement every time one of our students is admitted into a premier US graduate business program.

Undergraduate and Graduate Studies

OMGAH International focuses on developing long-term cooperative relationships with US educational institutions for student recruitment from China. We believe that our skill in providing customized solutions for our US partners, our determined efforts to expand their means of student recruitment, and our reputation and ability to establish goodwill in the Chinese market make us well-equipped to promote our partners’ education services to students and their families in China.

During the past few years, OOMGAH International has successfully recruited a stream of qualified Chinese students for US educational institutions, not only through traditional freshman referral programs, but also through our international transfer student program and our featured PATHWAY program.

Our use of carefully selected agencies experienced in evaluating foreign education credentials, well-informed credit transfer procedures, and appropriate marketing has enabled us to attract a considerable number of international students to our ITS program.

US High School College Preparation Program

OMGAH International and Southeast International have developed a special academic US High School and College Preparation Program for international high school students in order to provide comprehensive and academically focused high school courses and tutoring that prepares students for admission to leading US research universities. In addition to 9th-12th grade US high school classes, students will receive tailored tutoring based on their interests, future career goals, and academic performance. The program includes 2 months of an intensive summer ESL course, mandatory year-round English, math, and sciences tutoring classes, SAT/ACT preparation courses, and selected advanced placement programs.

• Featured Hangzhou No. 2 High School: 2+1.5 Program

This program is to be implemented at Hangzhou No. 2 High School, located in the city of Hangzhou, one of China’s most prosperous cities and the capital of Zhejiang Province. Hangzhou No. 2 is a leading Chinese high school renowned for its challenging academic programs and considered by


many to be the best high school, not only in Zhejiang Province, but also in China. OMGAH has formed a strong strategic collaboration relationship with Hangzhou No. 2. Now Hangzhou No. 2 is seriously interested in entering into a 2+1 or 2+1.5 program with OMGAH International’s high school partners in the US. Students who enter the program spend two years (10th and 11th grades) at Hangzhou No. 2 High School and spend their last year (12th grade) at one of OMGAH International’s high school partners in US. Students who successfully complete the program will receive high school diplomas from both Hangzhou No. 2 and the US high school partner.

The program brings significant benefits to US high schools. Because Hangzhou No. 2 is unquestionably a top-tier high school in China, the program gives participating US high schools an opportunity to become leading high schools in the US. Additionally, the program has the potential to bring consistent numbers of students with excellent academic backgrounds to the US partner school every year. Most of these students would go on to top US colleges after graduation, which would enhance the school’s reputation and attract further international students in the future.

Summer Internship Programs for US Students in China

OMGAH International matches qualified students with premier internships in China. We partner with government agencies, universities, multinational corporations, trade associations, and the media to provide internships in Chinese government and politics, business and consulting, international


relations, and media and communications. In the very competitive world of internships, we do the footwork for students and advocate for them to obtain quality placements. We take the angst out of procuring a premier internship and supervise the experience to enable success.

Visiting Scholar and Education Tour

OMGAH International assumes strong social and corporate responsibilities. We believe that international cultural and education exchanges bring immeasurable benefits to the education systems of both China and US and to our future generations. In 2012, we began to sponsor qualified educators from the US and China to visit top schools in each other’s country in order to experience and participate in student activities and learn new instructional strategies.

• Example 1: Beijing Nan Mo Fang Central Primary School

In 2012, OMGAH International sponsored visits by the Principal and Vice-Principal of Beijing Nan Mo Fang Central Primary school to two schools in Charlotte, NC (Berewick Elementary and Winget Park Elementary). We facilitated the signing of agreements establishing friendship-school relationships among these schools, and we continue to promote exchange activities, including online interactive classes between Winget Park Elementary and Beijing Nan Mo Fang Primary, which are scheduled to begin April 15, 2013, and will be filmed by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District.

• Example 2: Hangzhou No. 2 High School

In the fall of 2013, we will sponsor a teacher from Hangzhou No. 2 High School to spend 1 semester at a leading US high school as a visiting scholar. OMGAH International will be responsible for all the expenses associated with the program. We are now actively looking for a qualified US high school that would like to receive the teacher from Hangzhou No. 2. We expect the teacher to observe and study US high school methods for administering and teaching, designing curriculum, and organizing student activities. We also hope that the US school would allow the teacher to participate in class as a teaching assistant.
