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".
Prepory has helped me with my college application processes since 9th grade, always providing me a quality, friendly, and professional service. Today almost four years after, I don't know if I would have expanded and applied my college prospects without their help. They help me revise my supplement, link me to admission officers, and informational webinars. Aside from these valuable services, all my coaches have been extremely friendly and supportive. Each session is like talking to an old friend or family. I am infinitely grateful to Prepory for these years of service.
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.
Signing my daughter up with Prepory was possibly one of the best investments I have ever made in her future. She worked most closely with Nikita Dias, her College Admissions Coach, who was phenomenal: patient, supportive, knowledgeable. They never tried to force her to be anything she's not, but instead helped her find her own distinct and unique voice. Ultimately she applied to 18 colleges and universities and was admitted to 12, including being admitted to her dream school in the Ivy League. If you are considering Prepory for your child, I heartily recommend them.
Each session was like talking with a family member that cared so deeply about wanting to help make my dreams come true. With their help, I was given a four-year full-tuition scholarship to Vanderbilt University. I cannot thank Prepory enough!!!
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 Bruno 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.
I started working with my coach -- Juliette Woodcum -- in the summer of 2023. I began my sessions with Prepory as an academically decent student with a very weak college package. Prior to our meeting I had absolutely no clue as to what college admissions required--there was simply too much to understand it on my own... Because of Prepory I will be attending Brown University, my dream college, this upcoming year. My academic journey would never have got me to the position I am now without the 1.5 years of support Juliette and the prepory team provided. Thank you prepory for all your support; for any college prospects I absolutely recommend Preporys services.
Prepory helped our daughter navigate the strenuous application process by breaking it down into manageable tasks, on a set timeline, in order to make it to the finish line - without last minute cramming!
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.
