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.

THE ADMISSIONS HURDLE

Admissions officers at elite colleges are looking for more than just good grades and test scores. As colleges become more selective each year, high school students face the challenge of standing out in the admissions process. When building an incoming class, admissions officers look to admit a diverse cohort of students who each contribute a unique value to the campus.
