Thousands of families trust Prepory

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.

Daughter admitted to Dartmouth

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.

Admitted to Harvard University

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.
