Insider Know-How
Our team has been doing this for decades, and
they have an insider's understanding of how colleges make their decisions. That experience is
invaluable when it comes time to craft a
compelling application that can make your child stand out.
Perspective
There's too much emphasis on the 'best' school rather than the 'right' school. Our admissions consultants can increase your child's chances of acceptance at the most competitive schools, but they also know dozens of schools that your child might not have thought of - where he or she can learn, grow, and most importantly be happy and successful.

Having a Third Party
If we had a nickel for every time a parent has said to us, "I told him the same thing, but he didn't listen to me." The stress of trying to get your child motivated and organized is real, and so is the effect of "working with an expert." Your child will be more open to suggestions from our consultant, and will be more inclined to follow through on key steps in the process.
About PrepNow Admissions Consulting
The goal of our admissions counseling is to help your child navigate the application process in a thoughtful and organized way. We offer comprehensive packages that cover all key stages of the process, as well
as
shorter packages that enable you to build a custom program. In either format, the areas in which we can provide your child support include:
- School Selection - Essay Strategy & Development
- Recommendations - Supplemental Material Development
- Planning Visits - Resume/CV Development
- Interview Preparation - Waitlist Guidance/Appeals
- Application Strategy - Common App Preparation
- Final Application Review
To guide your child through these key stages we have assembled a staff of admissions experts. The college counseling team includes former Deans and Directors of Admissions at schools like Cornell, the University of Virginia, and Occidental, and college counselors at elite boarding schools like Andover, Groton, Hotchkiss, and Deerfield. They know what works, and have helped thousands of students find success in an increasingly competitive admissions environment.
