Our founders recognized a need within the community for a comprehensive college resource, and in 1997, Admissions Academy innovated the integration of three key college preparatory services under one roof: independent college counseling, standardized test preparation, and academic tutoring. We understand that college is a family process and a highly personalized one, and our comprehensive program offerings reflect our values and that understanding.

While no college counselor can or should guarantee admission into a specific colleges, nor promise financial awards, we work intensively with our students to ensure their applications represent their best possible work. We work with students throughout their high school years to strengthen their academic record, strengthen their extracurricular profile, build balanced college lists, prepare for standardized tests, and complete successful and strong applications.

What do colleges look for in applicants?
Admissions requirements for each college will vary; however, the primary factors involved in admissions decisions are a student's academic record, test scores, activities, essays, and teacher recommendations. Our comprehensive program offerings provide support for students through every facet of the college admissions process.
