How much does college admissions consulting cost?
It depends on the scope of support you need, which is why we don’t use a single flat rate. Our comprehensive college admissions packages typically range from $5,000 to $20,000, and more limited hourly or à la carte services generally fall between $300 and $1,000. We share this openly because pricing opacity in this industry is unnecessary — and at its worst, it’s predatory. When firms hide their pricing, they’re often trying to anchor you emotionally before you’ve had a chance to think clearly.
Our pricing sits where we believe the value is genuine. Much lower, and we couldn’t attract or retain the caliber of consultants this work actually requires. Much higher, and you’re paying for status rather than substance. We price our services to reflect experienced judgment, sustained involvement, and real accountability — without turning admissions consulting into a luxury good for its own sake.
