Thousands of families trust Prepory

As foreign graduate parents, we were not aware of the U.S. university requirements. English was also our second language, so we could not have helped our son. We were lucky to find Prepory to assist our son as he was accepted into his top school during the Early Decision round. His Prepory admissions coach assisted with his personal statement, supplemental essays, and activities list. Overall, we strongly recommend Prepory.

Son admitted to Columbia University

My sessions with the counselor were highly beneficial, offering valuable insights and guidance that helped me build a very creative and attractive resume.

Misk Distinct Student

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".

Hussein E.
Daughter admitted to Duke

I really liked how easygoing yet helpful Bruno was. He is an amazing counselor and I liked our sessions, seeing as I felt really comfortable talking to him and he always made sure to listen to me and give me practical advice.

Misk Distinct Student

I highly valued my sessions with my counselor. She was exceptionally kind, caring, and instrumental in helping me develop a deeper understanding of what I needed to do for college. Her guidance and support were invaluable, and I genuinely appreciated her positive influence on my college preparation journey.

Misk Distinct Student

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 Harvard University

My mentor was very encouraging and the energy she brought to our sessions was very positive. I felt like she was clear in all her feedback and would always make sure she answered all my questions.

Misk Distinct Student

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 he 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.

David K.
Son admitted to the University of Pennsylvania

They guided me through the process of college admissions. Being an immigrant and not studied in America, I was really nervous about how to guide my child in this crucial decision of her life. They really gave us proper guidelines from time to time and have been a facilitator in helping us to make good decisions.

Seema A.
Admitted to UT Austin

Everything, I love how I feel more and more confident and relieved about my college resume and how my counselor helps with understanding what my next goal is and how to improve and grow in my writing skills. I like how I can ask questions and say how I feel because it shows that my counselor truly cares about me and wanted to help me as much as possible.

Misk Distinct Student

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.

Grace B.
Daughter admitted to Carnegie Mellon University

They were really informative, never have I left a meeting without at least one valuable piece of information.
