At CollegeVine, we’re happy to help talented high school students fulfill their higher education dreams. The closing of the 2018-2019 admissions cycle is an exciting time for us because we finally see the results of the hard work our students have put forth over the past weeks, months, and years. These positive outcomes are really exciting—for example, in 2018-2019, CollegeVine students were 2.5 times more likely to be accepted into an Ivy League school based on average acceptance rates. For our admissions consultants, their student’s exhilarating successes are reminders of the excitement they themselves experienced when they were accepted into the country’s most competitive colleges.

Note: These numbers are based on the 518 CollegeVine students who responded to our survey. We will update as we get more responses.

Our College Applications Program

The conclusion of the 2018-2019 admissions cycle is also an affirmation of the effect CollegeVine’s College Applications Program can have on a student’s odds of acceptance into a top school; this year alone, 192 of our students were accepted into Ivy league schools. It’s no accident that CollegeVine students are so successful at getting into top schools—in 2018-2019, our students were 2.6 times more likely to be accepted into a Top 10 College.

Working one-on-one with students through every step of the college admissions process, our admissions consultants begin by helping students build a list of schools they would like to attend and understand their chance of admissions. Then, our consultants work with the student to create a plan—including the GPA a student will need to maintain, the test scores they’ll need to achieve, and letters of recommendation that they’ll need to secure. Our admissions consultants will also advise students on course selection and extracurricular activity participation, all while tracking deadlines and milestones to ensure that students stay on schedule.

When it’s time to apply to college, our advisors assist students in developing an application theme that best highlights their achievements and stand-out characteristics; using this theme, we support students in writing creative, well-thought-out essays that will grab admissions officers’ attention. We even offer guidance and prep to help applicants ace college interviews.

In contrast to private school students, the typical public school students receive 38 minutes of guidance time in their entire high school career; in the U.S., there is one guidance counselor for every 472 students. The sad truth is guidance counselors’ time is simply spread too thin to offer the in-depth support necessary to bolster a student’s chances of acceptance to a top college.

How We Helped Make College Affordable

Even after a CollegeVine student is accepted to college, we continue to work to make college more affordable for them—primarily by assisting our students in researching, applying for, and winning scholarships. The strong academic and extracurricular profiles we help students construct to appeal to colleges are equally enticing to scholarship committees. 95% of CollegeVine families who applied for merit aid received at least one scholarship offer that, over four years, is greater than the cost of their CollegeVine program.

Just as we celebrate the admission of our students into the nation’s top colleges and universities, we’re happy to brag about our student’s success at winning scholarships. The average merit scholarship for our clients is $18,200 a year, or $72,800 over the course of four years. In the 2018-2019 admissions cycle, our students won $17.6 million, or $70.3 million over four years!
