Services for High School Students and Graduate School Applicants
Why choose a college or graduate school consultant? Students are under tremendous stress with school work, activities and preparing for their educational future. Since state school budgets are even tighter these days, few schools offer the dedicated assistance or detailed attention to shepherd students through the college school process. In addition, navigating the college/graduate school application process is equally confusing for parents. Academe Advantage offers complete support and expert guidance to ease application and test prep anxiety to help students achieve their academic dreams and parents achieve peace of mind. Our founder, Alana, provides rare insight as both a successful two time Ivy League applicant and as a former admissions officer with over 16 years experience in test preparation and college admissions. Working one-on-one, Academe Advantage develops a personalized relationship with each student to highlight their strengths and minimize weaknesses on applications and standardized tests. Let Academe Advantage provide the personal attention, compassion and expertise needed during the college or graduate school application journey.
