Prestige College Consulting has been in the admissions consulting game since 2004, initially serving clients in the Greater New York area, which also encompasses New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. They have since expanded and grown to serve clients across the U.S.
About Company
Unlike many of their industry peers, Prestige is willing to work with students as early as 6th grade in starting their college application journey. In addition to helping students position their applications, Prestige also offers tutoring and test prep services, including for AP classes. Although they are well-regarded, with 77 reviews on Google, their employee roster did not include bios, making it impossible to determine how much experience is actually embedded in the current team. Prestige also works with highly qualified international students seeking admission to American universities, students applying to boarding schools, and students who are seeking to transfer to another school.
Prestige College Consulting Score
Prestige College Consulting Review
Prestige scores high marks in web presence (second-page Google search result) and reputation (77 independent, third-party reviews), earning a 4 and 5 in those respective categories. Unfortunately, the lack of transparency as far as their employees experience (or lack thereof) in college admissions offices, gives them a 0 in the team quality and combined knowledge categories. They get a 2 for team size (three consultants and a smattering of tutors and editors) and a 1 as an influencer (no Twitter or YouTube). Overall, Prestige gets a 2.28: not too bad for their first year in our rankings.
