Comprehensive college guidance for Colorado 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 Colorado area such as University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado College, and University of Denver.
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 261-to-1 in Colorado, for the 2022–2023 school year, exceeding the ASCA's recommended 250-to-1 ratio.
Our program is accessible to all residents of the Colorado area, including Cherry Hills Village, Superior, Castle Pines, Greenwood Village, Lone Tree, Niwot, Genesee, Vail, Aspen, Denver, Cherry Creek, 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.

Frequently asked questions
The best colleges in Colorado include the University of Colorado Boulder, a top-100 national university with highly ranked programs in engineering, aerospace, and business; Colorado School of Mines in Golden, ranked among the top engineering schools in the country with a #80 national ranking from U.S. News and World Report; the University of Denver, a well-regarded private research university; Colorado State University in Fort Collins, known for its strong programs in veterinary science, agriculture, and environmental health; and Colorado College in Colorado Springs, a selective liberal arts college with a distinctive one-course-at-a-time curriculum.
CU Boulder's acceptance rate is approximately 78% for the 2024-2025 admissions cycle, which the university described as a 30-year low as it intentionally reduced class sizes to improve retention and graduation outcomes. While CU Boulder is broadly accessible, admission to competitive programs within the College of Engineering and Applied Science, Leeds School of Business, and other high-demand colleges is significantly more selective and requires preparation beyond the university's general threshold.
Getting into CU Boulder requires a strong academic record, with half of admitted students who submitted scores earning an SAT between 1190 and 1400 or an ACT between 27 and 33. CU Boulder weighs GPA heavily and considers letters of recommendation as an important factor, alongside an academic interest statement that applicants complete as part of the application. Students applying to specific colleges within CU Boulder, such as engineering or business, face a more competitive review and benefit from a targeted application strategy that speaks directly to their intended program.
Prepory has worked with students from high schools across Colorado, including Boulder High School, Cherry Creek High School, Colorado Academy, Holy Family High School, Lakewood High School, Legend High School, and Rock Canyon High School. Our coaches understand the academic environments and extracurricular opportunities available to students across both private and public schools throughout the state.
Yes. Prepory offers one-on-one college admissions counseling for students across Colorado, including Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and surrounding communities, delivered online through Zoom. Colorado public high schools operate at student-to-counselor ratios well above the nationally recommended 250:1, leaving a significant gap in individualized guidance that Prepory is built to fill through dedicated one-on-one coaching from profile assessment through final submission.
