Thousands of families trust Prepory

My son and I interviewed about 15 different admission consulting companies before I decided on Prepory. I chose Prepory because they simply offered more hours at the lowest price of any of the reputable companies. We were given 2 committee reviews, where many different consultants read my son’s application, alongside around 30 hours of one-on-one time. Comparable companies really only offered 30 hours for the same price. I’m proud to say that the consulting worked. My son is now attending Brown, and, after seeing how many rounds of revision they went through, I can confidently say that he wouldn’t have gotten to the Ivy League without Prepory and his counselor, Peter.

Rya Muller has been a consistent source of providing guidance, timely feedback, and any and all help my daughter has needed. I would 1000% recommend Prepory for dedicated coaches like her. She has undoubtedly been an indispensable person in the college application process throughout my daughter's junior and senior year.

Daughter admitted to Case Western Reserve University

Prepory made a HUGE impact on my college application efforts. My coach, Nick Hackley, was extraordinarily helpful to me. His advice for essays and his revisions were keen and helpful. Further, his scheduling flexibility and willingness to put in work on days when he couldn't meet was truly selfless, a characteristic I would find of utmost value in a coach.

I am pleased to inform you that I have completed my senior year and have been admitted to the university of my choice. I want to take this opportunity to thank you once again for your valuable contribution to my application process. Your guidance and advice were fundamental in my success. I am infinitely grateful and satisfied with the work done by Prepory. Your team has been exceptional throughout, and I am confident they will continue to provide excellent service to other students in the future. Once again, thank you very much for all your support. It has been a true pleasure working with you and the Prepory team.
