at just the right time.
This program is designed for parents who have just started to explore the college admissions process, or plan to tackle it on their own.
Just starting out.
Wondering what this journey will be like for your child? We’ll give you structured guidance (rather than the scattered free resources available online).
Parents of 8th-11th graders.
College application high season comes the first half of senior year, but it’s never too late—or too early—to get on the right path.
Do-It-Yourselfers.
Not sure you want to pay for expensive private counselors? For parents who are hands-on and have the time, WeAdmit gives you the tools to coach your child to college admissions success.
Never miss a milestone.
A smooth college application process begins with understanding all of the milestones that lie ahead. With WeAdmit, you’ll know what to expect and be able to capably navigate them together with your child.
Waitlist Management
We are on hand, should your child get waitlisted by their first choice. We'll develop an effective counter strategy for communicating with admissions officers, by analyzing and optimizing future correspondence, such as emails and call scripts.
Summer Program Planning
Summer programs are priceless experiences. Get access to our database of programs, such as internships and pre-college courses. We help you select the best activity for your student.
SAT/ACT Guidance
We deliver valuable guidance and insight for standardized tests, from analyzing your student’s score to building a strategic study plan, and assessing their determination on retaking their SAT/ACT.
Resume Writing
A polished resume is a powerful tool for giving admissions officers a snapshot of the student and their achievements. We'll teach your student to craft a succinct and compelling resume.
Major & Career Planning
Choosing the wrong college or major can cause financial pain. 60% of college students change major and end up paying one or two years in extra fees. Through our curriculum, we help students identify their future career path, and choose a major that perfectly matches their long-term goals.
Letter of Recommendation
A great letter of recommendation goes a long way. We teach students how best to request a recommendation and how to guide the writer by making their objectives clear.
Interview & Audition Prep
Interviews and auditions are nerve-racking prospects for students. With WeAdmit, your child will be coached and their confidence built through mock-interviews and auditions. We bring students closer to the real thing by using questions presented to previous applicants.
Extracurricular Planning
We combine a unique scoring system and analysis from our counselors in order to reveal a student’s strengths and weaknesses. This personal data and insight allows us to build an extracurricular plan of action, focused on fulfilling their needs and objectives.
Essay Writing Support
Choosing the right topic is the first step in writing a winning essay. Our Essay Topic Generation Tool makes exploring, planning, and selecting the most compelling option simple. We teach highly effective writing frameworks for Common App and supplementary essays. With these valuable skills, your child will learn to deliver the quality of writing that will open the doors to their perfect-fit college.
Course Selection Advice
We not only help students become prime applicants, we also ensure that their passion and dedication is evident on paper. Admissions officers make evaluations based on how well a student’s class choices, essays, and transcripts match their target major and college. We guide them in selecting the best AP classes to strengthen their application, so that they can deliver a personal story that perfectly matches their objectives.
College List Building
With thousands of colleges nationwide, selecting the right ones can be daunting. We help students define their personal criteria, research efficiently, and build the perfect college list.
Application Strategy
Categorizing a college list correctly is vital to admissions success. Having aided your student in selecting their favored schools, we will then advise and guide them in categorizing each choice as Reach, Target, or Safety. A great application strategy isn't just about where, but when. Whether it is Early Action, Early Decision or Regular Decision, we help students determine the application round that will offer them the greatest chance of success.
