Does this sound like you?

You have a high achieving senior about to apply to college!

Your child has ambitious dreams and you want to support them...But, college admissions is changing so fast (it's not the same as when you and I applied!) and everyone you talk to seems to have conflicting advice.

College admissions is creating tension in your house!

There's a big decision to be made, and the stakes couldn't be higher. You'd love to have an expert that can provide answers you trust that are tailored specifically to your child.  

$10,000+ for a one-on-one college admissions consultant is simply not in your budget

You and your child are about to make a huge investment in college. Tuition at a private school can run over $300,000 (as much as a house!).  Even if you qualify for aid, where your child goes to college is one of the most important decisions they will make. You need expert guidance. Yet, a one-on-one coach is just not feasible right now.

THAT'S WHAT INSPIRED ME TO BUILD THIS PROGRAM

Testimonials

"I just have no words to say how happy I am today and how fortunate I feel! This would have never been possible without your help."

Current Harvard Student

"A big thank you to Laura for her guidance through my college apps. I always found her feedback to be very thoughtful. She provided insightful suggestions to improve my essays. She was always very positive and encouraging, and most of all, very thorough with her reviews.

Since I want to major in biology, I especially appreciated her imputs given her academic and professional background.  

At the end of the day, I landed my dream school—MIT—and had great options at five Ivy League colleges including Princeton! Couldn’t have been better!”

Current MIT Student

"I had a very difficult time figuring out what to write about for my essays because I felt that there was nothing unique about myself, but after working with Laura, I had a clear direction and was not worried about sounding plain in comparison to other applicants."

 Current Vanderbilt Student

“Advanced Ivy prep is a great service that provides high-quality guidance in navigating the turbulent waters of the college process. Laura Perretta sets out to truly understand her students, in turn making her advise that much more insightful. She is a great individual who goes above and beyond in showing care for the success of her students. I would highly recommend anyone to contact Laura, as it makes a difference in the whole process.”
