High school

Prepory coaches work with students from 8th grade through graduation, building your application strategy for U.S. and U.K. universities.

Work side by side with a dedicated coach who knows you, your goals, and exactly what your top schools are looking for.

Submit as many essays and drafts as you want and get expert feedback on each one. No limits, no extra fees, just your story told well.

Before you hit submit, a team of seasoned coaches reviews your entire application the way real admissions committees do, so you walk in confident.

Regular check-ins keep parents informed and involved, so the whole family feels confident about where things stand.

Testing, coursework, activities, and deadlines all land on top of each other in senior fall. Your coach maps out what happens each year, so essays, recommendations, and applications are finished well before anything is due.

Transfer applicants

Whether your college isn't the right fit or your goals have changed, we'll help you find the school where you can flourish.

Work side by side with a dedicated coach who understands why you are transferring, what you want out of your next school, and how to build an application that makes that case clearly.

Transfer requirements vary school by school, from GPA cutoffs to how many credits actually carry over. Your coach helps you build a list where your coursework counts and you graduate on the timeline you want.

The transfer essay has to explain where you are coming from and why this school is the right next step. Submit as many drafts as you want and get expert feedback on each one, including every supplemental.

Before you hit submit, a team of seasoned coaches reviews your entire application the way real transfer committees do, so you know exactly how your record and your reasons will read.

Transfer deadlines are scattered across the calendar and often fall in the middle of your current semester. Your coach keeps you on a clear schedule, so recommendations, transcripts, and essays are handled well before anything is due.

Graduate applicants

Prepory's graduate school experts guide you through interviews, essays, your statement of academic purpose, and program prerequisites.

Whether you are applying straight from undergrad or returning after years of work, your coach helps you choose programs that match your goals and build an application that shows why you belong in them.

Your research interests come first. Your coach helps you identify faculty worth working with, shape a statement of purpose that reads like a scholar wrote it, and reach out to programs the right way.

From building a school list around your LSAT and GPA to writing a personal statement that stands out in a stack of thousands, your coach guides every part of your application, including addenda and optional essays.

Your coach works with you through AMCAS, AACOMAS, and TMDSAS, from framing your clinical and research experiences to secondaries and MMI prep, so nothing gets rushed at the deadline.

Your coach helps you translate your career into a clear story: what you have done, where you are going, and why this program gets you there. That includes essays, resume, recommender strategy, and interview prep.

The Prepory Team was exemplary. Meghan and the rest of the team provided guidance and experience that my wife and I could never have provided. I highly recommend Prepory to any student with aspirations of attending their "dream school".

Hussein E.
Daughter admitted to Duke

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.

Admitted to Georgia Institute of Technology

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.

Anthony O.
Admitted to Harvard University

Signing my daughter up with Prepory was possibly one of the best investments I have ever made in her future. She worked most closely with Nikita Dias, her College Admissions Coach, who was phenomenal: patient, supportive, knowledgeable. They never tried to force her to be anything she's not, but instead helped her find her own distinct and unique voice. Ultimately she applied to 18 colleges and universities and was admitted to 12, including being admitted to her dream school in the Ivy League. If you are considering Prepory for your child, I heartily recommend them.

Charles V.
Daughter admitted to Princeton University

Each session was like talking with a family member that cared so deeply about wanting to help make my dreams come true. With their help, I was given a four-year full-tuition scholarship to Vanderbilt University. I cannot thank Prepory enough!!!

Anisa U.
Admitted to Vanderbilt University

I would have left a similar rating even if my son had not got into several top schools. In terms of this, Bruno, my son's coach, worked with him to ensure that no matter what the outcome, he had done all he could to put himself in the best position. The fact that Bruno recognized what message my son wanted to convey and did not put his own spin into the process, meant a lot to our family. We understand that results matter, and we achieved that, but it was not at the expense of anything that was important to my son.

David K.
Son admitted to the University of Pennsylvania

I started working with my coach -- Juliette Woodcum -- in the summer of 2023. I began my sessions with Prepory as an academically decent student with a very weak college package. Prior to our meeting I had absolutely no clue as to what college admissions required--there was simply too much to understand it on my own... Because of Prepory I will be attending Brown University, my dream college, this upcoming year. My academic journey would never have got me to the position I am now without the 1.5 years of support Juliette and the prepory team provided. Thank you prepory for all your support; for any college prospects I absolutely recommend Preporys services.

Nick B.
Admitted to Brown University

Prepory helped our daughter navigate the strenuous application process by breaking it down into manageable tasks, on a set timeline, in order to make it to the finish line - without last minute cramming!

Jay B.
Daughter admitted to Dartmouth

Being an immigrant and not studied in America, I was really nervous about how to guide my child in this crucial decision of her life. They really gave us proper guidelines from time to time and have been a facilitator in helping us to make good decisions.

Frequently asked questions

College counseling is a service that guides students on the path to college admissions success. The college admissions process is exactly that — a process, and an individualized one that requires critical steps at each stage.


To succeed in the admissions process, students must accomplish several milestones:


  • Develop the self-awareness and clarity they need to excel in their academic and collegiate endeavors.
  • Understand how their application will be evaluated by admissions officers.
  • Learn how to effectively package and present the achievements they’ve worked so hard to earn.

We evaluate and coach our students through a holistic approach to get them from where they are to where they should be.

Through one-on-one advising sessions, students meet with their college admissions coach to receive individualized counseling following their personalized syllabus and program milestones. They’ll work together to brainstorm, curate, and form their college application collateral. One-on-one advising sessions occur through Zoom video conferences and are 60 minutes long.

Our college admissions team leverages over 100 years of collective admissions experience. Our team is made up of multi-degree academics, former university faculty, former admissions officers, Ivy League writing coaches, and graduates from the nation’s most selective schools.


Students are paired with a college admissions coach based on their availability, academic interests, and area of expertise.


All Prepory college admissions coaches undergo a comprehensive training course before working with their students. This course is designed by our team of former admissions officers from the University of Pennsylvania, University of Chicago, and Brown University.

The earlier, the better! The college admissions process is a holistic process and admissions committees evaluate all four years of high school. Most elite private schools begin college planning in 7th grade.
