About PrepSequence

Advisors who have read the files.

PrepSequence was founded by former admissions readers and academic researchers. We take a limited number of students each cycle and work from New York and Seoul.

01 — How we think about admissions

More qualified applicants than places.

Selective universities receive far more qualified applicants than they can admit. Grades and scores get a file read. They do not get it admitted.

What decides a file is whether the reader can see a specific, credible person, with evidence behind every claim.

Our job is to build that evidence: a real research project, a coherent activity record, essays with a point of view, and recommenders who know what to confirm.

02 — Who you work with

Three kinds of advisor.

Former admissions readers

Scored files in committee.

Our readers worked at Ivy League and top-15 US admissions offices. They know how a file is discussed once it reaches the room.

Research mentors

PhDs who run the research.

Mentors hold doctorates and supervise the independent research project in Comprehensive Advisory, from the first question to the finished submission.

Transfer and visa specialists

Credits, courses, and filings.

Specialists audit prerequisites and credits, plan coursework against target requirements, and prepare F-1 and Canadian study-permit filings.

03 — How we run an engagement

Four commitments.

One advisor, start to finish.

The advisor who runs your diagnostic reads your final submission.

No more than eight students per advisor.

Eight is a cap. An advisor at eight takes no more students that cycle.

Fixed fees, stated before you start.

Comprehensive $18,500, Transfer $9,500, Essay $3,800. The figure in the agreement is the figure you pay.
