Education Is
Not an
Assembly Line.
Most prep companies run every student through the same curriculum. Lecture, worksheet, repeat. The score doesn't improve. The confidence doesn't grow. The application looks like every other application.
We refuse. ConnectPrep DECONSTRUCTS tests, exposing the architecture beneath every question type so students don't just know answers, they understand why. We SIMPLIFY what others overcomplicate. We BUILD around each student's unique profile. That is why our results don't just look better. They are better, and they last.
We Build Around Your Student
No two plans are alike. After a precision diagnostic, your student gets a roadmap built around their exact gaps, strengths, and goals — not a generic curriculum.
We Are Part of Your Community
Our instructors are dedicated educators from your neighborhood. Mentors who invest in each student's journey as if it were their own child's — showing up, following through, and caring about the outcome.
We Deconstruct the Test
We teach students to see through the test, not memorize around it. Understanding the architecture of every question type beats rote recall every single time.
We Open Doors Others Say Are Closed
760 GMAT to Wharton. 501 to 519 MCAT to med school. 2.0 GPA to Harvard. These are real outcomes from real students. Preparation meets personalization.

We teach the way every student deserves to be taught: by deconstructing complex material into clear, memorable understanding. Not flashcards. Not re-reading notes. Genuine comprehension that holds up on test day and carries students through college and beyond.
Most Requested Program
SAT & ACT Mastery
Our proprietary curriculum DECONSTRUCTS the test, exposing the architecture of every question type so students build genuine comprehension, not fragile memorization. Average SAT gain: +250 pts. Top gain: +500 pts. Score guarantee included.

- Precision diagnostic + custom study plan in 48 hrs
- Digital SAT format mastery: pacing, navigation, adaptive strategy
- SAT vs. ACT diagnostic comparison session included
- Monthly progress reports for parents
- Score improvement guarantee, or we keep working at no cost
Why this matters now: 72% of top-50 schools have reinstated SAT/ACT requirements. An unoptimized score is no longer a soft disadvantage. It is a hard disqualifier at schools where median scores rise every year. Students who delay prep by a single semester give up meaningful score ceiling.
AP & PSAT
AP Exams & National Merit
98% of ConnectPrep AP students score a 4 or 5. We build toward National Merit recognition from 9th grade, a distinction that reshapes how admissions officers read every line of an application. Three ConnectPrep students recognized in a single year.
- All AP subjects: Calc AB/BC, Physics, Chem, Bio, Lang, Hist, CS, Gov, Stats
- PSAT multi-year trajectory across Grades 9, 10, and 11
- State cutoff analysis & commended/semifinalist planning
The risk: Peers who begin AP prep in 9th grade consistently outperform late starters by full letter grades, widening the GPA gap that admissions offices weigh most heavily.
K–12
K–12 Academic Tutoring
Every subject, every grade. Math through Calc BC, all Sciences, English, History, CS, World Languages. 1-on-1, in-person or virtual. Executive function coaching and special education advocacy built in.
- All Common Core, AP & IB curricula
- ADHD, dyslexia & learning differences expertise
- IEP review & special education advocacy
- Teacher collaboration (with family permission)
The risk: A declining GPA is one of the hardest things for an application to recover from. Falling behind in a core subject in 9th grade compounds every semester.

Our Students Don't Follow
the Crowd. They Lead It.
The brutal truth: 57,000+ students applied to Harvard last year. Most had great grades, strong test scores, and glowing rec letters. The ones who got in had a story: a distinct, compelling, deeply personal narrative that made an admissions officer stop and say "we want this person." That story doesn't write itself. We build it. From the college list to the final submit button, every word, every choice, every strategy is engineered so your student doesn't blend in. They stand apart.
Flagship Program
Full-Cycle College Admissions
From 9th grade through decision day. We architect the complete admissions narrative: school list, personal statement, all supplements, activities strategy, EA/ED planning, and interview prep. 97% top-3 placement rate.
- College list architecture with acceptance probability modeling
- Common App personal statement with unlimited revisions
- All school-specific supplement essays researched and coached
- EA/ED/EDII strategy, financial aid & waitlist management
- Mock interview preparation in alumni and on-campus formats
- Activities list optimization & extracurricular narrative framing
The risk: Students applying without professional strategy submit average essays to schools that don't fit, over-applying to reaches with no realistic path. Their competition has professional teams. You need one too.
Specialized Direct Med
BS/MD Direct Medical Programs
2 to 7% acceptance rates. We have placed students into Northwestern HPME, WashU, BU, and UIC Honors. Getting accepted to a BS/MD program is not about grades alone. It is about who you are as a future physician. We build that story from the ground up, starting in 9th grade.
What makes BS/MD applicants stand out
We help identify, build, and position these experiences into a coherent medical identity, years before the application is due.
- SAT target 1550+ with a personalized prep plan to get there
- Application narrative built around genuine medical commitment
- MMI and traditional medical interview preparation
The truth: BS/MD programs reject academically superb students every year because the application does not demonstrate genuine medical purpose. We build that purpose into every layer of the profile.
Transfer
College Transfer Advising
One ConnectPrep student transferred into the University of Chicago, Dartmouth, Rice, and Northwestern, schools accepting only a handful each year. Most families don't realize that transferring is one of the most powerful, and least understood, pathways into elite schools. One ConnectPrep student transferred into the University of Chicago, Dartmouth, Rice, and Northwestern simultaneously. These schools accept only a handful of transfers each year, and nearly all go to applicants with professional guidance.
What makes a strong transfer application
Transfer applications live or die on one essay: Why are you leaving, and why here? Without a compelling, school-specific answer and a GPA trend that shows genuine growth, strong academic records get rejected every year. We build the full narrative.
- "Why leaving / Why here" essay coaching — the single most critical piece
- Target school list with realistic transfer acceptance windows
- GPA trajectory analysis and academic narrative framing
- Financial aid maximization and merit scholarship research
- Professor recommendation strategy and campus visit guidance
The truth: No high school counselor will guide a transfer application. The schools that accept transfers are selective precisely because so few applicants know what those schools are looking for. We do.
Stage 03 — Graduate & Professional
The Most Specialized
Preparation in Education.
→ Wharton, Booth, Cornell
501 → 519 · UMich Med
Stanford · MIT · CMU · Berkeley
Graduate admissions is a different game. The margins are razor-thin, the competition is global, and a single test score can open or close every door. We have the curriculum, the experience, and the results to prove it works, across every discipline, every degree type, and every professional school category.
MBA
MBA + GMAT/GRE
One student scored 760 on the GMAT, unlocking Wharton, Booth, Cornell, Darden, and more. Our proprietary GMAT curriculum emphasizes only the most relevant material. Full MBA application strategy: essays, résumé, recommenders, and fit interview coaching.
- GMAT Focus Edition & GRE prep using our proprietary curriculum
- MBA essays, résumé & recommender strategy
- HBS, Wharton & Booth fit interview coaching
The risk: A GMAT score below the median of your target program is a structural barrier that no amount of excellent essays can overcome.
Medical
Med School + MCAT
Vedant improved from 501 to 519 MCAT — admitted to UMich Medicine, Ohio State Medicine, and Rush Medical College. Expert MCAT prep plus full MD/DO application strategy including personal statement, secondaries, and MMI interview preparation.
- MCAT prep — top result: +18 point gain (501 → 519)
- MD/DO primary & secondary application strategy
- MMI & traditional medical interview coaching
The risk: 515+ is the floor for top MD programs. Every point below 515 closes a door. The difference between a 510 and a 519 is rejection vs. acceptance.
Law
Law School + LSAT
Strategic LSAT preparation combined with full JD application strategy for T14 schools. We help you craft the legal narrative that makes your file unforgettable — not just complete. Addendum coaching and waitlist management included.
- LSAT Logic Games, RC & LR section mastery
- T14 personal statement & diversity statement coaching
- Addendum strategy & waitlist management
The risk: LSAT is the most heavily weighted data point in law school admissions. A single point increase can mean the difference between a full scholarship and no offer.
MS / PhD
Master's & PhD + GRE
One student received simultaneous offers from Stanford CS, MIT, CMU, UC Berkeley, UIUC, and Michigan. We provide GRE prep, statement of purpose coaching, CV optimization, faculty outreach strategy, and fellowship/funding advisement.
- GRE Verbal, Quantitative & Analytical Writing
- Statement of purpose & research statement coaching
- Fellowship, grant & assistantship advisement
The risk: Graduate admissions is hyper-competitive and entirely opaque. Strong candidates routinely under-apply and over-explain — losing to less qualified but better-positioned applicants.
Every student we've ever worked with had the same end goal: a career worth building, in a field worth growing in. Our coaching doesn't stop at acceptance letters.
Stage 04 — The Journey Continues
From Diploma
to Dream Career.
The goal was never just getting into a great school. It was always building a great life. ConnectPrep stays with you at every inflection point — landing a first internship, pivoting industries, or earning the promotion you've worked toward.
From the classroom to the boardroom, the ConnectPrep journey doesn't end at graduation. It evolves. Our career and executive coaching program exists for exactly this moment: when ambition needs a strategy.

Track 01
Executives & Leaders
Senior-level recruiting is high-stakes. We sharpen your executive brand, position you for leadership transitions, and prepare you for every stakeholder conversation — so your next move reflects everything you've built.
- Leadership presence & executive narrative coaching
- Board-level & stakeholder interview preparation
- Promotion & strategic pivot positioning
- Personal brand & thought leadership strategy
The truth: Most senior professionals are underprepared for competitive recruiting. The best-positioned candidate wins — not the most experienced one.
Track 02
Career Changers
Switching industries is one of the most difficult job searches to execute. We rebuild your narrative, reframe your experience for the new field, and help you move faster and smarter than the unguided pivot.
- Industry pivot strategy & target company roadmap
- Transferable skills reframing for new field
- New-field résumé & LinkedIn overhaul
- Behavioral & industry-specific interview prep
The truth: Hiring managers dismiss career changers in the first 30 seconds without a compelling, specific narrative. Yours needs to be airtight before you apply to a single job.
Track 03
Graduate Students
Grad school opens doors — but landing the right role takes strategy most graduate students don't have. We guide you through competitive recruiting cycles with sharp materials, mock interviews, and a clear search plan.
- On-campus recruiting strategy & timeline
- Case, consulting & technical interview mastery
- Offer evaluation & negotiation coaching
- Summer internship strategy & conversion
The truth: Most graduate students compete in structured recruiting cycles against peers who have been prepping for months. Starting late is an immediate structural disadvantage.
Track 04
Students & New Grads
Finding your first real job is harder than it looks. We help recent graduates build a clear search strategy, craft a résumé that passes ATS filters, and walk into every interview knowing exactly what to say.
- ATS résumé + recruiter-ready LinkedIn build
- Behavioral & situational interview prep
- Target company list & outreach strategy
- 30/60/90-day first-job onboarding plan
The truth: Entry-level recruiting is the most competitive job market in the world. 500 applicants per role is normal. Without a polished, targeted approach, excellent candidates get filtered out before a human ever reads their résumé.

"ConnectPrep has been incredible! I raised my SAT score to a 1580. Bethany showed me how to deconstruct each section of the test. Their resource guides go far beyond anything I received from school.

"Elena was outstanding — honest, encouraging, and knew exactly how to push my son. He was admitted to Michigan's Ross School of Business, his first choice, along with UVA, WashU, and NYU Stern. ConnectPrep helped him gain confidence, clarity, and a much better sense of where he belonged."
Rajiv Nair

"After working with ConnectPrep my daughter brought her MCAT from 501 to a 519. The interview preparation is honestly what pushed her over the edge — ConnectPrep prepared her for traditional, panel, and MMI formats. She was admitted to UMich Medical, Ohio State Medicine, Rush Medical College, and Loyola."
