How much does college admissions consulting cost?

It depends on the scope of support, 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 limited hourly or à la carte services generally fall between $300 and $1,000. We publish this openly because pricing opacity in this industry is unnecessary — and at its worst, predatory. When firms hide pricing, they’re often trying to anchor you emotionally before you’ve had a chance to compare rationally.

Our pricing sits where we believe the value is real. Much lower, and we couldn’t attract or retain the caliber of consultants this work actually requires. Much higher, and the value starts drifting into status pricing — arguably defensible, but unnecessary. 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.
