How do your prices compare to other college admissions consultants?

It depends on who you are comparing us to—and what you believe you are paying for.

Some firms charge significantly more. Whether they deliver more is a separate question. In many cases, premium pricing reflects brand recognition, geographic proximity to a small set of elite campuses, or the reassurance of an ultra-high price point rather than a materially different level of consulting. Many of the most expensive firms also quietly limit their client base to students who are already highly competitive, then market success rates built on that filtering.

Other firms charge less. Some deliver real value at a lower price; others make trade-offs in consultant experience, methodological rigor, or the amount of individualized attention each client receives. The college admissions space is crowded with independent consultants whose credentials vary widely and whose processes range from disciplined to improvised. The meaningful comparison is not price in isolation, but what that price purchases: the depth of the diagnostic process, the continuity of strategic oversight, the number of review cycles, and whether the engagement is genuinely tailored or largely templated.

Our pricing reflects a comprehensive, all-inclusive model. Once an engagement begins, there is no clock watching and no metering of attention. We commit fully to the candidacy for the duration of the relationship—diagnosis, development, strategy, execution, and refinement—without treating progress as a series of billable moments. The investment is designed to support sustained, deep work over time, not episodic advice. The consultation call is the appropriate forum to assess whether that level of commitment aligns with your goals and circumstances.
