Do I even need
to work with an Admissions Counselor?
 |
Due to demographic shifts,
admission to the nation’s top colleges
and universities, law and business schools,
and graduate programs has become exceedingly
competitive. With so many deserving
and qualified applicants, getting into Harvard,
Yale, or Princeton and other top schools
is now as much about how you play the
“Admissions Game” as about your
GPA, standardized test scores, extracurricular
activities, or “legacy” status.
There can thus be little doubt that students
need professional advice when it comes to
planning for their educational future. Put
simply, after working so hard in high
school and/or college, applicants cannot
afford to forgo the guidance of a trained
and knowledgeable professional who can
ensure that they gain entrance to
the best possible school.
Still, can you believe that there
are private admissions consultants in the
New York Area who charge over $10,000
to help a student gain entrance into a premier
undergraduate institution or graduate school?

How is TestWell different?
At TestWell New York, we believe that all students
deserve access to the best institutions
of higher learning and thus to the highest
quality admissions counseling available
anywhere.
When a student decides to work with TestWell,
he/she can be assured that he/she will work
one-on-one with a professional
who not only possesses a deep understanding
of the admissions process but who
has also successfully navigated
the process him/herself.
Below is a brief list of just a
few of the schools to which our admissions
counselors have been admitted:
Harvard Business School
Yale Law School
Stanford Law School
Harvard Law School
Georgetown’s Walsh School of Foreign
Service

with how to best “package” themselves,
and those who have previously
applied.
One-on-One
Hourly Assistance
For students who may already be well into
the admissions process or who have very
limited and particularized needs,
we are happy to offer any of the services
above on an hourly basis.
The hourly rate for these services is $350/Hour
which is an incredible deal when compared with other consultants who share our level of expertise and charge in excess of $600/hour.
When Should I Get Started?
Few students realize that a lot can be done
to proactively strengthen one’s
application by beginning to think
about what schools are looking for well
before admissions season begins.
Therefore, we suggest that high school students
begin meeting with a TestWell Admissions
Counselor as early as the second
semester of their Sophomore Year and certainly
during their Junior Year.
For admission to graduate programs,
we suggest that students start the Counseling
Process 12-18 months before they
hope to enroll. For Pre-Law
Students, we suggest an initial
meeting with a TestWell Admissions
Counselor as early as the second
semester of their Sophomore Year and certainly
during their Junior Year.
Where are TestWell Counseling Sessions Held?
All TestWell New York classes, tutoring sessions, and admissions counseling meetings take place at our offices, conveniently located at 27 W. 24th Street, suite 10B.
