Payments

Our payment options include an hourly rate as well as several fixed-fee application packages.

Retainer Fee

We do not believe in charging a hefty retainer fee. In fact, we only require a minimum 1 hour payment to retain our services. Why? Because our services sell themselves and over 95% of our clients voluntarily retain us for additional services. If you're interested in the ultimate assistance plan, we will allow you to apply the cost of the hour towards the price of that plan.

We have two different payment options: an hourly rate and several fixed-fee application packages.

Hourly Rate

We bill an hourly rate of US$125 for our college admissions services. If you choose the hourly payment option, you will not pay us for services you do not desire and you will always be in charge of how we spend our time with you.

Pay hourly:

We accept credit cards via telephone and fax if you encounter any problems paying online.

Fixed-Fee Waitlist Assistance

A highly qualified consultant will review an application that landed you on the waitlist. He or she will share with you the probable reasons for the waitlist and advise you on the best way to handle this situation. You will receive professional assistance with any material the consultant feels you should submit to the program such as a letter reiterating your interest in the program, an additional letter of reference, etc. The fixed-fee price for this service is $195.

Fixed-Fee Ding Analysis

A highly qualified consultant (read: one with college admissions committee experience from a selective school) will review an application that resulted in a rejection. He or she will share with you the probable reasons for the ding and will advise you on what you could have done to increase your acceptance chances. You will also receive an assessment of your alternatives including taking a year off to do something constructive and re-applying as a freshman or attending a less selective school for one or more years and then submitting transfer applications. The fixed-fee price for this service is $195.

Ultimate Assistance Package

Our ultimate assistance package is geared towards those extremely serious applicants who want to ensure their chances are maximized and no stone is left unturned in their quest to maximize their chances at their top-choice college. This ultimate package includes all the professional assistance the student will need to succeed in the college admissions process from day one through his or her high school graduation. In addition to professional and comprehensive assistance with all the college applications the student wishes to complete in the high school senior year, this also includes periodic appointments as well as an allotment for unscheduled appointments, with your personal consultant to monitor your progress and offer advice on topics such as college selection, high school curriculum, extracurricular activities, letters of reference, financial aid, and highly customized advice on all other college-related topics such as the need to retake the SAT or ACT based on the student's grades and target schools, etc.

We offer this comprehensive service to students as young as 8th grade and the price varies depending on the student's grade level. If you are considering this comprehensive service, we actually encourage you to sign up for 1 hour initially. If you are happy with your personal consultant after the first hour, we will allow you to deduct the cost of that first hour ($125) from the price of the ultimate assistance package. We are, obviously, very confident in our services.
