LEARN MORE ABOUT PROMPT’S COACHES

We hire the top 2% of coaches.

  • Our coaches go through a rigorous training and evaluation process. Only 2% make it through to become coaches – i.e., it's far more difficult to become a Prompt Coach than to get accepted at any college.
  • Our coaches are Prompt employees, each spending 100s of hours coaching students on college applications and essays every year.
  • Every coach is trained on and follows the Prompt coaching method, proven to get your student accepted at their top choice colleges.
  • Our coaches operate as a team. They often communicate with each other to further improve their coaching skills and discuss specific essays.
  • Every coach has completed their undergraduate degree, and many have master's degrees, such as a Master of Fine Arts. Many attended top programs, such as Ivy and Ivy-equivalent colleges.
  • Our coaches have varying backgrounds, such as playwrights, freelance writers, journalists, authors, educators, and researchers.
  • We match your student to a coach by considering how your student's college list, personality, and ambitions match with the coach's interests, background, and personality.

We are the only company that specializes
in college applications and essays.

We’re not pricey private college counselors. We’re not your English teacher. We’re not your Aunt Gertrude (thank goodness).

We’re college admissions and writing education experts. Your Writing Coach works with you 1-on-1 as you plan, write, revise, and finalize every written part of every application – essays, activities lists, additional information, portfolios, scholarship essays, and more!

Your Student Success Manager coordinates everything and holds you accountable to get everything done well in advance of every application deadline.

Our MIT-engineer-designed software simplifies the whole process – saving you many hours while ensuring you clearly and concisely cover all of your most compelling content on every application.

You receive as much coaching as you need. There are no limits. Students often use 30-50+ hours across all of their applications. We keep working until you feel confident in your applications.

You stand out and get in. 98% of Prompt students get into one or more of their top-choice colleges. 3 in 4 get into one or more reach colleges. The typical Prompt student receives a $10,000 to $25,000+ per year scholarship to at least one of their top-choice colleges.

You become a better writer. A common comment we get from parents is that their kid learned more about writing working with their Writing Coach than in all of their years of school.

People ask, "What's the biggest value Prompt provides?" Compelling content. Clear writing. Accountability.

01

Developing your personal brand.

02

Identifying what to write about for every part of your application.

03

Making your ideas concise and compelling.

04

Making your writing clear.

05

Holding you accountable.

1. Developing your personal brand.

We help you tie your most compelling content into a cohesive narrative that relates to the 5 Traits Colleges Look For in Applicants: drive, intellectual curiosity, initiative, contribution, and diversity of experiences.

2. Identifying what to write about for every part of the application.

We help you brainstorm compelling content, match content to each part of each application (essays, activities lists, additional information, portfolios), and outline your writing for each part.

3. Making your ideas concise and compelling.

We help you identify how to shorten your writing (usually by 40-60%). Word count is at a premium. And being concise will help you fit in more content, providing a clearer picture of why you are extraordinary.

4. Making your writing clear.

We help you structure your essays and write in ways that admissions officers will easily understand. Admissions officers only spend an average of 8 minutes per application. So being clear and easy to read is critical.

5. Holding you accountable.

Procrastination is the #1 cause of not being accepted. Over 90% of students scramble to complete their essays, submitting their applications within 48 hours of the deadline. Prompt holds you accountable to the timeline you agreed upon.

What Our 10,000s of Students and Parents Have to Say

Trustpilot
"Prompt's approach is based on data and succeeds in the way coaches work with students. There were several interactions per essay, always with a quick turnaround time. AND our student is now a way better and more confident writer."
- Parent, Yale University 2022
“I honestly cannot thank Prompt enough for their guidance and knowledge. Not only is Prompt's team creative but they are passionate about what they do and it shows through their feedback.”
- Student, University of Pennsylvania - Wharton 2022
“Stats alone cannot get your child into a top 20 college anymore. You need interesting and unique essays to show why your child is not only a fit for that college, but what they can do for them."
- Parent, Harvard University 2022
“I was in a panic because my daughter needed a coach who could review and provide important feedback during the long holiday week before the deadlines. When my daughter's stress and anxiety reached an all-time high, the coach quickly scheduled more calls and motivated my daughter towards the finish line. I wish I had enrolled my daughter sooner!”
- Parent, TG, University of Southern California - Town&Gown Scholarship 2021
