Founded in 2015 Christopher Rim, Command Education differentiates itself from its industry peers by retaining counselors trained in SEL (Social & Emotional Learning), in alignment with its founder’s background in psychology and emotional intelligence.
About Company
Although Command Education markets itself as a “white-glove private service,” its relatively large contingent of counselors and a solid admin team allow it to offer services typically seen in larger firms. These include a summer project starter and multi-day summer/fall workshops designed to help students craft compelling Common Application Personal Statements, prepare for interviews, and develop memorable supplemental essays.
In addition to various consulting packages, the firm also offers private academic tutoring, SAT/ACT tutoring, and transfer application assistance. Their website hosts various articles on essays, application positioning, college selection tips, and other posts related to the college admissions process.

Command Education Review
Command Education scores a 4 in team size, thanks to its team of 25 mentors, and a 4.5 as an influencer, due to their strong followings on Twitter (513) and YouTube (706). Unfortunately, they get a 0 in both team quality and combined experience due to a lack of former admissions officers. They get a 1 in reputation, with only one good review on a verified, third-party site and a 2 in web presence (eighth-page Google ranking) and results (no data beyond a claim that 94% of their clients get into one of their top 3 choice). Final score for Command Education: 1.92.
