Prime Consulting
This program is a consulting service for international students who are applying to the University of California (UC). Tricon will accompany you as you work towards finishing your UC application before the end of November. Our counselors, who have all successfully transferred to UC Berkeley or UCLA, will work with you 1-on-1 to write your Personal Insight Question (PIQ) essays from scratch. We support our students during the whole essay writing process, from brainstorming to final edits, using data collected from successful applicants. Together, we can help you create an application that shows your strengths, talents, and potential in the best light possible.

More than 150 successful essays
Our students can browse essays written by successful UCB/UCLA applicants that Tricon has collected. Our counselors advise students based on analysis of these essays and other factors that determine if an applicant is accepted. We can provide counseling to students of any major, as we have accumulated a wide range of versatile information from our analyses and years of experience.
8-session course
We help our students build their Personal Insight Question (PIQ) essays from scratch. Over the course of six to eight 1-on-1 hour-long counseling sessions, we will help you brainstorm, outline, and draft your essays. Then, your essays will be checked and edited by a native English speaker. We will use the data we have collected from successful applicants to help you create an application that showcases your strengths, experiences, and potential.


Support at any time
We offer 24-hour chat support and regular office hours from the time of purchase until the end of November. You can ask questions via chat or email at any time and we will get back to you ASAP.
Waitlist support
If you are waitlisted, we will support you, using information from past students who were successfully accepted off of waitlists. We can help you write your waitlist essays and prepare any other documents that are necessary.
