Which Package Should I Choose? 

1.

Get a feel for how many applications you’ll submit.

Your school list may not be complete yet – and that’s okay. Having a sense of how many applications you’ll be submitting will help you select a package.

Typically speaking, high-achieving students targeting more selective colleges (25% or lower admit rates) apply to an average of 12 colleges – but an increasing number apply to 15-20+.

Students targeting less selective colleges (50% or higher admit rates) typically apply to 5 or fewer. Everyone else is in between.

2.

Get a feel for where your essays will matter.

As a rule of thumb, the lower a college’s admit rate, the more essays matter. Selective colleges use essays to differentiate between tens of thousands of academically similar applicants.

We recommend getting coaching on your applications where your essays matter the most, which typically are:

Selective Colleges
Ivy and Ivy-equivalent, prestigious private colleges (Boston University, USC, NYU), competitive public colleges (UNC, Michigan, UCLA).

Selective majors and programs at less selective colleges
Often, some majors and programs have lower admit rates than the college as a whole. Common examples include computer science, engineering, nursing, business, and honors colleges.

Desirable out-of-state public colleges
Often, out-of-state applicants have lower admit rates than in-state (UT Austin, UVA, Florida).  

3.

Choose the right approach for you.

Here’s 3 approaches you can take to choose the right package for you.

Simple approach (recommended)
Get the package that matches the number of selective colleges, majors, and programs you’ll be applying to. This typically means an All Schools Package for high-achieving students likely to submit 12+ applications. It can also be our 3 Schools or 6 Schools Package for students only applying to a few reach colleges.

Top-choice approach
Only get coaching on your top choices with a 3 Schools or 1 School Package. You’ll spend less and get substantial value. You’ll then transfer what you learned to completing your other applications yourself.

Widespread approach
Get a Common App Essay Package to make sure you’re confident in the essay you submit to many colleges. Most college applications use the Common App personal statement essay.

Note: You can always upgrade your package later, but it may result in a higher price (e.g., prices increase in September).

"My daughter got into all 8 colleges she applied to, including her reach school."
More than half the schools required extra essays in lieu of SATs! Her coach helped her organize her jumbled thoughts and notes into multiple well-written essays. Her feedback ranged from minor edits to major edits, and sometimes great advice on taking things a different direction.  I definitely believe a lot of her college acceptances were due to the essays. I would highly recommend hiring Prompt to help with college essays!”
"The process went very well for my twin boys, the help & assistance provided by Prompt is really appreciated!!"
The boys got early acceptance in almost all the schools they applied to, in the College of Engineering (with merit based scholarships) and am very grateful for the coaching provided for my boys. Hope this helps and big THANKS to your team."
"My daughter really enjoyed working with her coach."
His feedback was always very helpful and positive and focused on what she could do to improve. She really felt confident working with him and his feedback kept her on track, so we were really happy with the process. In an extremely competitive admissions cycle she was accepted to 16 schools, including two Ivy League schools. She believes that her essays played an important role in her success."
