About Prepory College Counseling for Virginia students
Virginia is home to highly-ranked high schools, including Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, Langley High School, Open High School, Oakton High School, McLean High School, Marshall High School, Meridian High School, and more. These esteemed institutions foster highly motivated students who are deeply committed to shaping their future and attending prestigious universities.
Our college admissions coaches are here to empower Virginia students and turn their college dreams into a reality.
Comprehensive college guidance for Virginia students
Engage in one-on-one advising sessions and receive tailored guidance to best support your academic and collegiate endeavors. While school counselors are qualified to guide students to success beyond high school, their large volume of students and pressing responsibilities limit their time. This makes having a personal college coach dedicated to supporting you through the entire admissions process a game-changer.
At Prepory, we focus on a student-centric approach to college admissions counseling that equips students with the resources, knowledge, and personalized guidance they need to craft a competitive application to top schools like Harvard, Yale, Amherst College, MIT, Caltech, Duke University, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon University, and UCLA. Our students have also received acceptance letters to some of the best universities in the Virginia area such as University of Virginia, William & Mary, Virginia Tech, and Virginia Commonwealth University.
Our comprehensive college counseling program encompasses a wide range of critical topics for each high school grade level. This includes leadership development, crafting the personal statement, supplemental essays, navigating financial aid, securing impactful letters of recommendation, strategic high school course selection, and beyond.
The American School Counselor Association reports a high student-to-counselor ratio of over 288-to-1 in Virginia, for the 2023–2024 school year, exceeding the ASCA's recommended 250-to-1 ratio.
Our program is accessible to all residents of the Virginia area, including McLean, Great Falls, Falls Church, Crosspointe, Wolf Trap, South Run, Floris, Dunn Loring, Brambleton, Wyndham, and other neighboring areas.

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.
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.
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!
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.
