Frequently asked questions
for 12th graders

It is not too late. Starting in 12th grade is common, and students who work with a Prepory coach during senior year still see meaningful results. The focus shifts to what matters most at this stage: crafting compelling essays, building a strategic application plan across Early Decision and Regular Decision deadlines, preparing for interviews, and ensuring every submission is complete and competitive.

Senior year involves managing multiple application deadlines, essay drafts, recommendation letters, and school-specific requirements all at once. A Prepory coach brings structure to the process by keeping students organized, on schedule, and clear on priorities at every stage. For families, that means fewer surprises and more confidence that nothing is falling through the cracks.

In 12th grade, the highest-impact areas are essay quality, application strategy, and organization. Students should focus on writing a personal statement that authentically represents who they are, crafting strong supplemental essays tailored to each school, securing thoughtful recommendation letters, and finalizing a college list with a well-balanced mix of reach, match, and safety schools. Prepory coaches guide students through all of these priorities with individualized support.

Students can submit their personal statement, supplemental essays, resume, and any other required writing materials for comprehensive feedback from Prepory's Writing Specialists. Reviews cover grammar, structure, organization, and content, and are returned within three business days. Materials can be submitted and resubmitted as many times as needed throughout the program.

One-on-one advising at Prepory consists of 60-minute Zoom sessions between the student and their assigned college admissions coach. In 12th grade, sessions follow structured program milestones covering application strategy, essay development, college list finalization, interview preparation, and deadline management. Students also receive unlimited essay reviews from Prepory's Writing Specialists and can track progress through MyPrepory.

Prepory's team brings over 400 years of collective admissions experience and includes former admissions officers, Ivy League writing coaches, and graduates from the nation's most selective universities. Students are matched with a coach based on their availability, academic interests, and the coach's area of expertise. Schedule a free consultation to learn more.
