Here we’ve gathered some of the most frequently asked questions about our guaranteed pathways. If you have further questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.

The Top 50 Track is an advanced pathway for high-achieving students who aim to attend Top 50 universities. It offers enhanced academic planning and counseling but does not include a refund guarantee.
Who can participate in these programs?
Both programs are available exclusively to students enrolled from Grade 6 to 11 at Amerigo Signature Schools in the U.S. Students entering directly into Grade 12 or enrolled in short-term Exchange Programs are not eligible.

What happens if I meet all the Top 100 requirements but do not receive a Top 100 university offer?
Amerigo will refund up to $50,000 USD in tuition fees, according to the official Top 100 Guarantee Refund Policy. This refund only applies if all eligibility, conduct, and timing requirements are met.
What kind of support will I receive to reach my university goals?
Students at U.S.-based Signature schools receive continuous support through Amerigo’s on-campus International Student Department, including:
- GPA management and academic advising
- Advanced coursework and dual-credit planning
- SAT/TOEFL/AP test prep guidance
- University and scholarship guidance
- Essay workshop & guidance
- Recommendation letter facilitation
- Extracurricular and leadership development
- English Language Learning (ELL) courses designed for international students—students may also earn Foreign Language credits for graduation.

How is the “Top 100” or “Top 50” university ranking determined?
Amerigo uses the most current U.S. News & World Report (National Universities and Liberal Arts Colleges) and QS Top 100 Global University Rankings published in the student’s graduation year.
What happens if I transfer to another school before graduation?
The guarantee applies only if a student completes at least two consecutive years and graduates from the same Amerigo Signature High School. Transferring or leaving before graduation voids eligibility.
Does the guarantee apply to all types of university programs?
No. The guarantee applies only to standard undergraduate admissions. Programs that require auditions or portfolios (e.g., fine arts, design, or conservatory programs) are excluded.
Does the guarantee include a specific major choice?
No. The guarantee does not ensure admission into a specific major. It guarantees admission to the university only.
