Our Services

Insider Information

Every university looks for different things in its applicants, and to those who don't know each school's particular preferences, college application results often seem random and unpredictable. They're nothing of the kind. All of our consultants have been on the admissions committees of top undergraduate and professional graduate programs, having read countless applications and knowing exactly what distinguishes the acceptances from the borderline rejections. We will tell you what each particular institution is searching for in those students it admits.

Personal Statement Assistance

The personal statement is the most important part of the college application and yet many applicants today continue to make mistakes in tone, content, or even topic. As part of our service, we will help you craft a compelling personal statement, which will showcase your hobbies, interests, and passions in a concise and compelling manner. We love assisting applicants in demonstrating their inner uniqueness in a beautifully written essay.

Strategic Positioning Consulting

All of our college admissions consultants have extensive experience positioning undergraduate and graduate school applicants. The whole application needs to tell a story, to give the reader a narrative, and instead what admissions boards often see is a mishmash of contradicting information. Strategic positioning requires a comprehensive analysis of the applicant, the schools to be applied to, and of the various strengths and weaknesses of the applicant.

At the end, we make sure each applicant stands out from the crowd.

Right Recommenders and Right Recommendations

Most top students have surprisingly bland recommendation letters; we don’t let our clients get away with anything less than glowing letters. We advise you on which teachers would be best positioned to write you recommendation letters and how they would best be able to speak to your specific academic and personal strengths. We also help you prepare a cover letter, resume and portfolio of work from a recommender’s class to present at a personal meeting to maximize your recommendation letter’s impact on readers.

Graduate School Advising

For most of our students, education does not end with a bachelor's degree. Because an advanced degree is required for the most in-demand jobs and professions, many students will move on to graduate education after college. As part of our service, a former graduate school admissions officer from one of the best medical schools, engineering graduate schools, or MBA programs in the country, will help guide your child in choosing the best undergraduate institution for his or her post-graduate goals.

Mock Interviews and Financial Aid

We prepare you for both on-campus and alumni interviews by teaching you to dictate your interview so tha­­t you control what is written on the interview evaluations by guiding the content and flow of the interview itself. Our admissions officers will prepare you for common questions that are asked during interviews and how to answer them effectively. We also give you the inside details on which schools will take financial need into consideration when deciding who to accept and deny.
