Why do families choose us?
Other companies charge $15,000+ for a rigid, one-size-fits-all service. Instead, we work to create packages that are suited to each student’s goals and budget. Let’s chat and create something that works for you. That can mean support for a single essay or a comprehensive, multi-year package beginning in ninth grade. Here are some examples of recent packages we’ve made for our families.

We're professionals with real qualifications
We provide expertise worthy of your investment. Our writers have won awards, been educated at Oxford and top MFA programs, and have collectively worked with thousands of students. Our admissions officers have worked at Ivy League schools and have been certified by the IECA.
We'll take the guesswork out of the college admissions process. Colleges become more selective every year, and families invest more and more resources. But the process doesn’t need to be chaotic or irresponsible. We want to give your student the tools to succeed, with expertise and experience you can trust, without charging the price of a new car.
