Prepory utilizes the near-peer mentoring program, which pairs high school students with a college admissions coach who has recently completed the college admissions process. Our college admissions counselors are current college students at the most selective institutions in the country. They undergo extensive training to walk students through the college application process. Sessions will follow a structured curriculum to ensure students understand the most important parts of the college admissions process, however coaches’ personal experiences add an essential, real-world layer.

Our Services

Students in 9th and 10th grade will meet with their coach biweekly to set goals, explore interests and how they relate to college, and determine what opportunities they can leverage to bolster their application. These two years are critical to college admissions process; coaches can use these two foundational years to help set students apart early.

Coaches meet with students weekly in their 11th grade year, largely regarded as the most important and high-pressure year in high school. They will guide students as they move into leadership roles in their extracurricular activities, apply for pre-college programs, and begin to search for the right college for them.
Finally, in their senior year, coaches and students will tackle college applications and FAFSA. Coaches will help students set deadlines, write essays, send SAT/ACT scores and so much more. In the Spring of their senior year, college coaches will discuss what to do after enrollment, how to begin engaging with their school, and how to prepare for the transition between high school and college!

From resumes to personal statements, writing is a large and important part of the college admissions process. However, writing skills take time and practice. To help students identify their writing strengths and weaknesses, Prepory students can submit essays to their coach for revision. Essays do not have to be college-related, however. Students can submit essays for high school classes, scholarships, or essay competitions and their coach will provide extensive feedback for improvement. Students who advance their writing skills earlier on will have a smoother writing and editing process when they must write colleges essays.

Aside from grades, SAT/ACT scores, and high school transcripts, the personal statement is one of the most critical elements of the college application. While other portions of your college application cover your academic skills and scholastic performance, the personal statement helps colleges understand who you are as an individual. Personal statements can make or break a college application. After extensive training with writing experts, Prepory coaches work with students as early as 10th grade to begin developing ideas and drafting their personal statement.

Supplemental essays help a college learn more about an individual student. Often provided alongside a personal statement, supplemental essays allow you to cover topics you didn’t touch on in your personal statement or elsewhere in your application. Many times, supplemental essays will ask why students are applying to their specific college. Prepory college admissions coaches will edit and offer suggestions to answer supplemental questions creatively and effectively.

Your resume highlights the most significant achievements and experiences you gained during your four years in high school. When written correctly, a strong high school resume ensures the admissions committee has all the information they need to decide on your application. Our college admissions counselors are specially trained to write, edit, and improve high school resumes.

College planning is all about self-awareness. Our college admissions counselors pay special attention to students’ interests, passion, and values. They spend time getting to know the students to help recommend colleges and universities that align with the students’ professional and personal goals.
