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 Main Line such as the University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon University, and Lehigh University.
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 317-to-1 in Pennsylvania for the 2024–2025 school year, far exceeding the ASCA's recommended 250-to-1 ratio.
Our program is accessible to all Main Line residents including those in Lower Merion Township, Radnor Township, Tredyffrin Township, and its surrounding neighborhoods like Gladwyne, Villanova, Bryn Mawr, and more.

How to stand out as a Main Line student
"The Main Line has some of the strongest public and private schools in the state, and that raises the bar for everyone applying from there. Students at Lower Merion, Radnor, or one of the area's private schools are often competing against classmates with near identical GPAs, course loads, and resumes. Admissions officers know this too, so the students who stand out aren't the ones with the most impressive list of activities. They're the ones who can explain, clearly and specifically, why those activities matter to them."

Frequently asked questions
Prepory works with Main Line high school students to build applications for selective colleges through one-on-one coaching that accounts for the academic intensity of districts like Lower Merion, Radnor, and the region's top private schools. Our coaches, all former admissions officers, understand what it takes to stand out from a high-achieving applicant pool, and they help Main Line students present their goals, values, and experiences in ways that resonate with admissions committees at the nation's most selective universities.
Prepory serves high school students throughout the Main Line, including Ardmore, Bryn Mawr, Villanova, Wayne, Haverford, Wynnewood, and Gladwyne, as well as nearby communities in Radnor and Devon. Because all of Prepory's programs are delivered entirely online, students anywhere in the greater Philadelphia area can work with our coaches regardless of their location.
Main Line students often build college lists that extend well beyond Pennsylvania, with Ivy League universities and other top 20 national institutions attracting significant interest from the region's high-achieving applicant pool. Penn State, Pitt, Villanova, Lafayette, and Gettysburg remain strong in-state options, particularly for students weighing merit scholarship opportunities. Our coaches help students develop strategies to compete at the most selective level while identifying colleges, in and out of state, that align with their academic interests and long-term goals.
Prepory has worked with students from high schools across Pennsylvania and the greater Philadelphia area, including Friends' Central School, Central Bucks High School East, Central Bucks High School South, Strath Haven High School, Unionville High School, and Spring-Ford Area High School. Our coaches have experience with students from a range of academic backgrounds and school types, and we tailor our approach based on your school's profile and the colleges on your list.
