Thousands of families trust Prepory
Prepory is an excellent college counseling program. They really care about the success of their students, and provide one of the most affordable, comprehensive, and personalized counseling programs out there. My daughter was very happy with her coach Rya, as well as her program director Sarah who made her feel comfortable and went out of their way to help her get into the best schools possible. My daughter got into top schools like UCLA and Cal but chose Purdue since she got into their joint BS/DVM Vet Scholars program. Only 6-8 high school students are selected each year for this program. Thank you Prepory for all your love and support!
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".
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!!!
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.
Why your story matters in a
competitive place like Indiana
"IU, Purdue, and Notre Dame are all more competitive than they were ten years ago. Families here tend to have a strong sense of what a good student looks like, but the applicant pool those schools are pulling from now is national. A student who would have been a comfortable admit ten years ago is now in a genuinely competitive position."
James C.
Former Admissions Officer at Purdue University

Frequently asked questions from Indiana families
The University of Notre Dame's acceptance rate is approximately 11%, making it one of the most selective universities in the country. Notre Dame practices holistic admissions, weighing academic achievement, extracurricular depth, essays, and recommendations. Indiana residency does not provide an admissions advantage, and students from competitive Midwest high schools face the same national applicant pool as everyone else.
Purdue University's overall acceptance rate is approximately 53%, but admission to competitive programs such as Computer Science and Engineering is significantly more selective. Purdue evaluates applicants holistically, with strong weight on academic preparation, test scores, and program-specific fit. Students applying to high-demand majors should expect a more competitive process than Purdue's overall acceptance rate suggests.
Indiana's top universities include the University of Notre Dame, consistently ranked among the top 20 nationally; Purdue University, one of the country's leading engineering and computer science programs; Indiana University Bloomington, home to the highly regarded Kelley School of Business; and Butler University, a strong liberal arts institution known for its undergraduate experience. Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is also widely recognized as one of the best undergraduate engineering schools in the country.
Getting into Notre Dame requires a rigorous academic record, strong standardized test scores, meaningful extracurricular depth, and essays that demonstrate character, intellectual curiosity, and a genuine connection to Notre Dame's mission. Notre Dame's holistic review places significant weight on who a student is beyond their transcript, and the personal essay and supplemental responses carry substantial influence. Applying Early Action by November 1 is strongly recommended, as a significant portion of the class is filled in the EA round.
Prepory has worked with students from Holy Family High School, John Burroughs High School, Saratoga High School, Terre Haute South Vigo High School, and other schools across Indiana. Our experience with Indiana students gives us familiarity with the academic environment, course offerings, and extracurricular landscape students navigate on the path to college.
Yes. Prepory offers one-on-one college admissions counseling for students across Indiana, including Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, Zionsville, Westfield, Granger, and surrounding communities. All programs are delivered online through Zoom. Indiana public high schools operate at a student-to-counselor ratio of approximately 497 to 1, nearly double the ASCA's recommended 250 to 1, leaving most students without the individualized guidance the college admissions process requires.
