Our Philosophy

Fit Matters

We prioritize finding a good fit for our students by considering their academic and career goals, in addition to other factors like resources, size, location, affordability, and campus culture. To increase their chances of finding the right fit, we recommend that students create a list of "reach," "match," and "likely" colleges and universities to apply to.

Collaboration Matters

We provide individualized support and flexibility to our students as they navigate the university admissions process. We collaborate with schools and post-secondary counselors, and offer extra services like help with selecting good fit universities, navigating the application process, and crafting personal essays. Our approach is personalized and tailored to each student, and we encourage them to challenge themselves and set clear goals. We also provide ongoing support, even after students have received acceptance letters, to help them make informed educational choices and succeed in their first year at university. Our goal is to make the university preparation and application process an exciting opportunity for our students.

Industry Leading

One of the reasons Preppid stands out in the industry is our commitment to providing high-quality services and support to our clients. We understand that every student is different and has unique needs, which is why we take a personalized approach to education consulting. Our consultants are knowledgeable and experienced in a wide range of subjects and can provide expert guidance on everything from selecting the right courses and schools to applying for scholarships and financial aid.
