How much does it Cost?

At Stratus Prep , we understand that students’ individual needs vary. Therefore, we offer two attractive pricing options.

The Law School Admissions Counseling Package (a $5,200 value for just $2,999!!!)

With The Law School Admissions Counseling Package, students get up to 15 hours of individualized coaching with a professional Stratus Prep Admission Counselor uniquely qualified to meet their needs. In addition, Counselors are available any time for brief phone consultations.

A student’s Stratus Prep Counselor is his/her partner, who will be right there with him/her each step of the way, serving as not only a knowledgeable resource but also an additional emotional support during what can be trying times for any student.

 
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 Stratus Prep 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 Stratus Prep Admissions Counselor as early as the second semester of their Sophomore Year and certainly during their Junior Year.

 
Where are Stratus Prep Counseling Sessions Held?

All Stratus Prep classes, tutoring sessions, and admissions counseling meetings take place at our offices, conveniently located at 27 W. 24th Street, suite 10B.
