At Tron Tru Hoi, we believe there is no such thing as a truly 'weak' profile. The core issue isn't whether you are good enough, but whether you can accurately position yourself and head in the right direction.

Messages from Mentees

"Chi is incredibly dedicated, thoughtful, and detail-oriented. I only had to focus on my application; she proactively reminded me of every stage, what needed to be done next, and what to prioritize. Beyond study abroad guidance, she also provided emotional support whenever I felt anxious or stressed."

"Amazing, hehehe. The only downside is that she can be a bit sharp sometimes, but she always replies even when I spam her, so it’s not a big deal. Other than that, she’s great—nothing to complain about."

"Chi is super dedicated, thoughtful, and meticulous.

Beyond just helping with my studies abroad, she also provided emotional support whenever I felt anxious or stressed."

"The biggest reason was the transparency from our very first conversation with Mai Chi—her advice was direct, clear, and no-nonsense. If I had been left to navigate that sea of information on my own, I probably would have given up or settled for a safe path that didn't meet my expectations."

"She believed in my potential more than I did myself — instead of advising me to apply to lower-tier schools, she encouraged me to aim higher. I told a friend that I probably wouldn't have achieved these results today without the Tron Tru team."

There’s no limit on the number of schools you can apply to, which is great if you want to test your chances with multiple programs. They provide thorough guidance on CV preparation, recommendation letters, research projects, and interview practice, and they are always available to answer questions 24/7.
