College Admissions Consulting FAQs
When should I start working with a college admissions consultant?
We recommend beginning the process in your sophomore or junior year of high school. Starting early gives you ample time to develop a strategic plan, build a compelling profile, and avoid last-minute application stress. However, we've successfully helped students who come to us during senior year as well—it's never too late to improve your application strategy.
How do you help improve my chances of getting into elite universities?
We leverage our team's insider knowledge as former admissions professionals to help you craft standout applications. We'll work one-on-one with you to identify your unique strengths, develop a personalized application strategy, refine your essays, prepare for interviews, and optimize every component of your application. Our 20+ years of experience serving Los Angeles students has given us deep insight into what selective colleges are looking for.
What makes A-List Admissions different from other consulting services?
You'll work directly with former admissions officers who understand the decision-making process from the inside. We don't use one-size-fits-all approaches. Every strategy we develop is customized to your specific profile, goals, and target schools. Our consultants maintain a limited client list to guarantee you receive the personalized attention you deserve, and our track record of elite school acceptances speaks for itself.
Will you write my essays or complete my applications for me?
No, we don't write essays or complete applications for students—that would be unethical and counterproductive. What we will do is guide you through brainstorming meaningful topics, provide constructive feedback on your drafts, help you refine your voice, and make sure your essays effectively highlight your unique qualities. Our goal is to help you present your authentic self in the most compelling way possible.
What's your success rate for getting students into top colleges?
While we're proud of our track record helping Los Angeles students gain admission to elite institutions, we don't promise specific acceptance rates because each student's situation is unique. What we can guarantee is that we'll greatly enhance your application strategy through personalized guidance. Our clients consistently report that our services helped them get admitted to more competitive schools than they initially thought possible, often with merit scholarships as well.
