Comprehensive

College Guidance

a personalized college plan

The college admissions process has changed drastically over the years and since the COVID-19 pandemic began. With many schools going test-blind and test-optional, many students have the chance to showcase their other strengths such as passion projects, extracurricular involvement, and leadership skills. The increase in applicants to top institutions since the COVID-19 pandemic has also increased, making the acceptance rate to these schools drop significantly.

Local Prepory Clients Say

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.
Anthony O. Admitted to the Harvard University and Erasmus Mundus scholarship-winner
These college admissions coaches are not just professionally invested, they’re also genuinely emotionally invested. I’ve been able to become real friends with my coaches, and it was the interest they took in me and the relationships I developed that helped me realize my dream.
Nicholas Mijares Admitted to Columbia University, Egleston Scholar
They’ve been helping me since I was a sophomore in high school and it’s been great! They helped me enter Posse and I was actually able to get it! Without their help I don’t think I would’ve gotten it. I get to go to Mount Holyoke College next semester and I couldn’t be more excited and grateful!
Catherine Di Mare Admitted to Mount Holyoke College
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!!!
