Comprehensive
college guidance
Engage in one-on-one advising sessions and receive tailored guidance to best support your academic and collegiate endeavors. While school counselors are qualified to guide students to success beyond high school, their large volume of students and pressing responsibilities limit their time. This makes having a personal college coach dedicated to supporting you through the entire admissions process a game-changer.
At Prepory, we focus on a student-centric approach to college admissions counseling that equips students with the resources, knowledge, and personalized guidance they need to craft a competitive application to top schools like Harvard University, Yale University, Amherst College, MIT, Caltech, Duke University, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon University, and UCLA. Our students have also received acceptance letters to some of the best colleges and universities in Minnesota such as Carleton College and Macalester College.
Our comprehensive college counseling program encompasses a wide range of critical topics for each high school grade level such as leadership development, crafting the personal statement, supplemental essays, navigating financial aid, securing impactful letters of recommendation, strategic high school course selection, and beyond.
The American School Counselor Association reports a high student-to-counselor ratio of 541-to-1 in Minnesota for the 2022–2023 school year, far exceeding the ASCA's recommended 250-to-1 ratio.
Our program is accessible to all Minnesota residents including those in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Rochester, Duluth, Bloomington, and its surrounding neighborhoods like Uptown, North Loop, Summit Hill, Highland Park, and more.

How to stand out as a Minnesota student
"Students in Minnesota grow up in a state known for academic excellence, with some of the highest graduation rates in the country with a culture that values hard work and community. Colleges notice applicants who can speak to that environment with depth and specificity.
