Thousands of families trust Prepory
Prepory has helped me with my college application processes since 9th grade, always providing me a quality, friendly, and professional service. Today almost four years after, I don't know if I would have expanded and applied my college prospects without their help. They help me revise my supplement, link me to admission officers, and informational webinars. Aside from these valuable services, all my coaches have been extremely friendly and supportive. Each session is like talking to an old friend or family. I am infinitely grateful to Prepory for these years of service.
I know that without the guidance, support, and knowledge offered by Prepory, I wouldn’t have had the confidence or know-how to navigate the college admissions process and get to where I am now. Prepory changed my life.
Rya Muller has been a consistent source of providing guidance, timely feedback, and any and all help my daughter has needed. I would 1000% recommend Prepory for dedicated coaches like her. She has undoubtedly been an indispensable person in the college application process throughout my daughter's junior and senior year.
My son and I interviewed about 15 different admission consulting companies before I decided on Prepory. I chose Prepory because they simply offered more hours at the lowest price of any of the reputable companies. We were given 2 committee reviews, where many different consultants read my son’s application, alongside around 30 hours of one-on-one time. Comparable companies really only offered 30 hours for the same price. I’m proud to say that the consulting worked. My son is now attending Brown, and, after seeing how many rounds of revision they went through, I can confidently say that he wouldn’t have gotten to the Ivy League without Prepory and his counselor, Peter.
Frequently asked questions for engineering applicants
Top engineering applicants typically take AP Calculus, AP Physics, and advanced math or science courses. Strong STEM extracurriculars such as robotics, coding projects, or research can help you stand out.
Top engineering programs are highly competitive, with schools like MIT and Stanford admitting fewer than 15% of applicants. Strong grades, test scores, and rigorous math and science courses are expected. To stand out, students also need strong essays, STEM extracurriculars, and a clear passion for engineering. Our admissions coaches help students build competitive applications and improve their chances of admission.
It depends on your interests and goals. Mechanical, electrical, computer, and biomedical engineering are top choices. If you enjoy designing systems, go with mechanical. Into coding or hardware? Try computer or electrical. Passionate about healthcare? Biomedical could be a great fit.
Students can submit any essay for comprehensive feedback from our team of essay review experts. Our Writing Team will review their materials and provide grammatical, structural, organizational, and content feedback within three (3) business days. The written materials can be submitted as many times as needed.
Through one-on-one advising sessions, students meet with their graduate admissions coach to receive individualized counseling following their personalized syllabus and program milestones. Students work together with their coach to brainstorm, curate, and form their application collateral. These one-on-one advising sessions occur through Zoom video conferences and are 60 minutes long.
