About
At Arcus Advisory, we provide the insight and strategic guidance to support every stage of the process, helping students secure places at the world’s leading universities across the US, UK, and Europe.
Arcus Advisory was founded in 2013 by Susie Cochin de Billy, whose experience is both professional and personal. After a successful career as an entrepreneur in London and Hong Kong, she entered the education space while guiding her own children through the US admission cycle, each going on to attend Harvard, NYU, and Brown.
Today, Susie and her team work closely with a select number of students each year, offering a highly personalised and confidential advisory service.
Our Philosophy
At Arcus Advisory, we believe that a strong application is not manufactured, it is uncovered. Our approach builds not only successful applications, but confident and self-aware individuals.
Integrity
Every student’s story must be authentic
Confidentiality
Absolute discretion throughout the process
Reliability
Structured guidance, clear timelines and constant support
Our team
A small, highly experienced, dedicated group working closely with each student.
Susie works alongside a carefully selected group of collaborators, each bringing specialist expertise to support students along the way.
our commitment to you
We understand how this process impacts your child’s personal and academic development, and the important role university plays in their future, so we take our responsibilities very seriously.
Arcus Advisory strives to combine expertise and experience with friendly and reassuring support, to ensure that your child enters the US higher education system with confidence.
