What happy students and parents say about us:

I'm immensely grateful for all the support and resources I received through Prepory. I couldn't have done it without my coach. Thank you again for all of your invaluable help in the college process. I'm excited to see what the future holds!

I cannot thank Prepory enough for all their mentoring they have given my child. They truly made applying for college as efficient, effective, and painless as possible. My senior has received acceptance letters and scholarships to every school that she has sent out her applications to so far.

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!

Prepory has a team of wonderful individuals who are truly motivated to help you succeed. They have given me the tools I needed to showcase my best self to universities across the U.S. I couldn't thank Prepory enough for their kindness and commitment.

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 applied to as many colleges as I did without their help.

The challenge high school students face

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.

How Prepory students excel

Prepory helps you develop a college application that will get you noticed. Through our comprehensive college essay writing and tailored counseling, we help students position themselves as strong and unique applicants to top schools. Our 1:1 advising services focus on crafting a college admissions narrative that is memorable and indicative of who you are.

"Most admissions officers will tell you that the personal statement is their absolute favorite part of the application. It's really a chance for us to get to know who you are, and it's really your major opportunity to speak up for yourself . . . [It is] your chance to say, 'Hello, this is me, and here's what matters to me and here's what I'd like to tell you about myself."

Marcia Landesman

Associate Director of Undergraduate Admissions, Yale University

“The best essays are the ones where we don’t just want to admit the student, we want to take them out for coffee once they’re here. We’re not admitting academic machines—we’re admitting classmates and roommates and kids who will make thoughtful contributions to our community.”

Macy Lenox

Associate Dean of Admissions at University of Virginia

"Who are you? It's about being reflective about your life, about your experiences, about what you're doing. I always tell students it's not the 'what' you're doing, but the 'how and why' you are doing them because I can clearly see 'what' you're doing, but 'how and why,' I can't see that, I can't jump into your mind. So when I put down your application, I want to feel like I just stepped out of your life."

Eddie Picket

Assistant Director of Admissions, Tufts University

Frequently Asked Questions

College counseling is a service that guides students towards the path to college admissions success. The college admissions process is exactly that—a process, and one that requires critical steps at each stage.

To succeed in the process, students must accomplish several critical objectives: 1) develop the self-awareness and clarity they need to excel in their academic and collegiate endeavors 2) understand how their application will be evaluated and the strengths and weaknesses of their application thus far 3) how to effectively package and present the achievements they’ve worked so hard to earn.

Much like the admissions committee evaluates candidates holistically, we too evaluate and coach our students through a holistic approach to get them from where they are to where they should be.

Prepory provides several packages and service offerings. We offer hourly advising, unlimited college essay reviews, and comprehensive packages for high school and transfer students.
