Comprehensive college guidance for New Jersey 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 New Jersey area such as Princeton and Rutgers.
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 308-to-1 in New Jersey, for the 2022–2023 school year, exceeding the ASCA's recommended 250-to-1 ratio.
Our program is accessible to all residents of the New Jersey area, including Livingston, Ho-Ho-Kus, Westfield, Upper Saddle River, Ridgewood, Rumson-Fair Haven, Summit, Chathams, Plainsboro, and other neighboring areas.

Thousands of families trust Prepory
Signing my daughter up with Prepory was possibly one of the best investments I have ever made in her future. She worked most closely with Nikita Dias, her College Admissions Coach, who was phenomenal: patient, supportive, knowledgeable. They never tried to force her to be anything she's not, but instead helped her find her own distinct and unique voice. Ultimately she applied to 18 colleges and universities and was admitted to 12, including being admitted to her dream school in the Ivy League. If you are considering Prepory for your child, I heartily recommend them.
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.
The Prepory Team was exemplary. Meghan and the rest of the team provided guidance and experience that my wife and I could never have provided. I highly recommend Prepory to any student with aspirations of attending their "dream school".
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.
