The college admissions process is more complex and competitive than ever before. With plummeting acceptance rates and ever-changing requirements and expectations, it is no wonder that 73% of students and parents reported feeling “high stress” or “very high stress” about the process in a recent international survey from The Princeton Review. Increasingly, applicants who excel are those who receive insider guidance and personalized support from a private admissions consultant.
However, not all consultancies offer the same level of support — and choosing the right one is the first step toward college admissions success. “One of the most difficult aspects of hiring a college consultant can be knowing which one to choose among hundreds of options. Some are former admissions officers who solely focus on standard application requirements, some are current college students, some are full-time teachers working part-time consulting jobs. Most firms give students a laundry list of action items they must complete to stand out,” says Christopher Rim, Founder & CEO of Command Education, a boutique college consulting firm. “Command Education, on the other hand, connects students with a full-time Senior Mentor who recently navigated the admissions process at an Ivy League or other top university. We incubate student’s passions and take their interests to the next level, guiding them to execute every single step of the process. As a result, our students aren’t just Class Presidents — they are award-winning nonprofit founders, community organizers, political activists and entrepreneurs.”
