GEO was formed in 2008 to address several opportunities in the global education sector. During his tenure as Director of MBA Admissions and Financial Aid at the Wharton School, Thomas Caleel understood that access to education can make a fundamental difference in the course of a person's life, but that the opportunity to attend an elite top school depends on proper preparation and the complete understanding of the admissions process.

GEO is unique in that it provides a broad range of services to governments, corporations, and individuals to enable them to maximize their education opportunities. To accomplish its objectives, GEO partners with only the most experienced decision makers from the most recognized global universities and leverages their experience for the benefit of our clients.

The GEO Consulting Group provides best-in-class admissions consulting services. This comprehensive offering provides students with all the tools they need to be successful in the complex and highly competitive admissions process. Overseen by an Admissions Advisory Board with over 150 years combined experience in higher education, GEO's consultants (all former admissions officers at top global universities) provide unmatched personalized guidance. The Consulting Group provides admissions consulting for boarding school, university, and graduate school in the US, UK, and Australia/New Zealand and can also provide long-term advising to students who wish to enhance their profile over time in anticipation of an application in the future.

GEO is currently working with select clients in China, Korea, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Dubai and the United States.
