You may not know where to begin. You may be wondering whether your grades, activities, or background are strong enough. You do not need to have everything figured out before you start.
Exanthra gives ambitious Mauritian students the personalised guidance, expert support, and clear roadmap they need to pursue leading universities in the United States and the United Kingdom. Our students are supported by a growing team of admissions mentors, experienced teachers, specialist UK application advisers, and dedicated SAT tutors.

For many Mauritian students, the challenge is not a lack of potential.
It is not knowing where to begin, what leading universities are looking for, how scholarships and financial aid work, or how to present their experiences effectively.
Applications to universities in the United States and the United Kingdom require important decisions about university selection, essays, personal statements, activities, recommendations, entrance examinations, interviews, scholarships, and deadlines.
Trying to manage all of this alone can feel confusing.
Exanthra provides the structure, clarity, expertise, and personal support students need to move forward with confidence.
Every student begins from a different place. That is why Exanthra does not rely on a one-size-fits-all approach. We assess your profile, understand your ambitions, and create a personalised roadmap based on your goals, academic background, application timeline, and selected programme.
Depending on your Exanthra programme, your support may include the following services.
Personalised support throughout the U.S. application process, including university selection, Common App strategy, personal essays, supplemental essays, activities and honours, recommendation strategy, interviews, scholarships, financial aid, and post-submission guidance where included.
U.S. Pathway
Specialist guidance for students applying through UCAS, delivered with the support of experienced teachers and advisers. Support may include university and course selection, personal statement development, subject alignment, entrance-examination guidance, interview preparation, and visa-process guidance, depending on the selected programme.
Structured SAT preparation delivered by dedicated specialist tutors for Math and Reading and Writing. Students receive targeted instruction, practice, feedback, and personalised support designed to strengthen their skills and help them perform at their highest level.
Through guided brainstorming, structured feedback, and careful refinement, we help you communicate your experiences and ambitions with clarity. Your application remains authentic, original, and entirely your own.
Tailored interview preparation, practice sessions, and constructive feedback designed around the requirements and expectations of the student's target institutions.
Interview Preparation
Guidance on identifying relevant opportunities, understanding financial-aid requirements, preparing supporting information, and approaching scholarship applications strategically where included in the selected programme.
Scholarships & Aid
We assess your academics, activities, interests, goals, and timeline before developing a clear step-by-step strategy designed specifically for you. Your roadmap may include academic planning, testing timelines, extracurricular development, passion projects, leadership opportunities, and application milestones.
Profile Development
Depending on the selected programme, support may continue through university interviews, waitlists, letters of continued interest, offer evaluation, visa guidance, and the transition to university.

Students who proceed with Exanthra receive a clear strategy with priorities, milestones, testing plans, application deadlines, and the next steps required for their selected pathway.
You work with the relevant members of the Exanthra team throughout your programme — from admissions mentors and UK application advisers to SAT tutors and specialist teachers, depending on your selected services.
We conduct final reviews and continue supporting you through the relevant post-submission stages included in your programme. The student reviews, approves, and personally submits all final applications.
What sets Exanthra apart from general study-abroad agencies and international consultancies
Exanthra was created by a Mauritian student who personally navigated the international admissions and scholarship process — and later turned that experience into a structured system for supporting others.
The Founder sets Exanthra's strategy and standards, while students are supported by a growing team of admissions mentors, teachers, advisers, and specialist tutors.
Our services are specifically designed around the different demands of U.S. and UK applications, rather than offering generic study-abroad advice.
Your goals, strengths, timeline, and circumstances shape your roadmap. We do not give every student the same strategy.
Selected programmes include specialist SAT preparation in both Math and Reading and Writing, as well as subject-specific UK application support from experienced teachers and advisers.
We guide students to develop their own ideas, tell their own stories, and submit applications that accurately reflect who they are.
We understand the local educational context, including the Cambridge pathway, SC and HSC results, subject combinations, extracurricular access, and the questions Mauritian families face when considering university abroad.
The first Exanthra cohort was personally guided by the Founder before Exanthra expanded into the team it is today. These results demonstrate what can become possible when ambition is supported by structure, personalised guidance, and consistent effort.

Student outcomes are individual and depend on each student's academic record, application, circumstances, effort, institutional decisions, and other factors. Their journeys show what may be possible with the right preparation and support. Previous outcomes do not guarantee future admissions, scholarships, financial aid, test scores, or visa approvals.
We guide Mauritian students through the full application process for some of the most competitive universities in the United States — including Ivy League institutions and other top universities — and in the United Kingdom, including Oxford, Cambridge, Russell Group universities, and other leading institutions.
Universities shown represent institutions students may receive support in applying to. Their inclusion does not imply a partnership, endorsement, guaranteed admission, or a previous Exanthra placement at every institution displayed.
Exanthra began with its Founder personally guiding the first cohort. Today, Exanthra has grown into a coordinated team of mentors, teachers, specialist advisers, and tutors who bring complementary expertise to each student's journey. Every student benefits from a personalised strategy and is supported by the team members best suited to their goals and selected programme.
Wakyl founded Exanthra while he was a junior at New York University and completing a study-away semester at the NYU Stern School of Business. He personally developed and delivered the admissions strategy used to support Exanthra's first student cohort, before continuing to refine the Exanthra methodology and build a wider team. Now an NYU graduate, Wakyl leads Exanthra's strategic direction, programme development, quality standards, and student-success model.

Before Exanthra became a company, it began with one Mauritian student trying to understand a university admissions process that few people around him could clearly explain.
Wakyl Jankeepersand had already navigated that journey himself — earning a full scholarship to New York University Abu Dhabi and later completing a study-away semester at the NYU Stern School of Business.
While still a junior at NYU, he founded Exanthra with one clear belief: Mauritian students should not be limited by a lack of guidance, access, or belief in what is possible.
Wakyl personally guided Exanthra's first student cohort, developing a structured admissions strategy covering university selection, profile development, essays, interviews, scholarships, and long-term student growth. Students supported through his strategy went on to secure offers from Yale University, NYU Abu Dhabi, and the London School of Economics.
These outcomes came from personalised strategy, consistent mentorship, careful preparation, and helping students recognise potential they had not yet seen in themselves.
Now an NYU graduate, Wakyl leads Exanthra alongside a growing team of experienced teachers, admissions mentors, specialist UK application advisers, and dedicated SAT tutors — building a company that gives ambitious Mauritian students a clear path, a team that believes in them, and the support to pursue opportunities they may once have thought were beyond their reach.
Today, every Exanthra student benefits from a growing network of mentors, teachers, advisers, and specialist tutors.
You may still be exploring. You may not know which universities are right for you, whether your profile is competitive, or how the application process works. That is exactly why the first step exists.
