Strategy, Focus, and Confidence: Kaplan Pre-College Admissions Consulting



Kaplan Pre-College Admissions Consulting

Strategy, Focus, and Confidence

You've studied diligently for the SAT or ACT and packed your high school years with challenging courses and activities. Now it's time to achieve the goal of your hard work: college acceptance!

The Kaplan Admissions Consulting team will guide you through the murky process of college applications. Every year, our expert consultants help hundreds of families choose target schools for their college-bound students—and then work with the students to craft compelling applications that distinguish them from other applicants.

Why is Kaplan Right for You?

Each of our Consultants has served on college admissions committees, directed college guidance at high schools, or advised students independently. They use that experience to your benefit by showing you what works in a college application—and what doesn't.

How Admissions Consulting Works

  • Upon enrollment, the Kaplan team sends you an introductory survey that assesses your scores, grades, activities, and potential college goals. You also receive 101 Ways to Become the Perfect College Applicant, written by our Consulting team.
  • We use the survey data to carefully match you with the best consultant for you from our national network.
  • You and your consultant then work together over phone and email to attack your applications, regardless of your location or hectic schedule. (In the New York City and Boston metro areas, we also offer in-person consulting at your home.) You and your consultant can then:
    • Create a strategy for approaching the college process by evaluating your high schooler's strengths and level of competitiveness
    • Focus your family's efforts by researching schools and identifying the most ideal colleges for your college-bound student, brainstorming for unique personal statement topics, and selecting writers for letters of recommendation
    • Apply to each school confidently through critique and refinement of your personal statements and applications and thorough preparation for interviews and campus visits
  • Like a lawyer or accountant, our consultants bill for the time they spend working on your behalf, much of which will be "out of sight." They keep detailed records of their work for you and update you on the time remaining in your package.

THE KAPLAN DIFFERENCE
I just wanted to let you know that last week, my son finished the common application and mailed it to 6 schools. This means that my son, who put the "p" in procrastination, has gotten things done early. Very early. His essays are fantastic and his applications look great.
