Admissions OS · Parent-Facing Decision Report

The report your family actually needs

Parents fund the decision but rarely get information they can evaluate. This report translates the entire picture - costs, visa timeline, employment odds, risks, and the plan - into clear language, available in multiple languages.

1. The decision at a glance

One page: recommended school, total 2-year cost ($124K), expected break-even (3.4 years on median outcomes), overall confidence rating, and the three biggest risks.

2. What the money buys

Costs itemized against comparable options, including the cheaper school your student is also considering and what the difference purchases (sponsor ecosystem, co-op program, cap-exempt fallback).

3. How your student will be allowed to work

The F-1 → CPT → OPT → STEM OPT → H-1B/self-petition sequence explained without jargon, with your student's actual dates on a timeline.

4. The employment plan

Target roles and salaries, the employer landscape near campus, and the month-by-month plan F-1Careers will hold your student to.

5. What could go wrong

Honest scenarios: no offer by month 9, lottery misses, program changes - and the pre-planned response to each.

6. Questions to ask the university

Ten questions for the international office and career services, with the answers strong programs give.
