SOS Admissions

Since 1998, SOS Admissions has provided guidance on college applications, essay editing, interview preparation, and strategic planning. Their team consists of former admissions officers and experienced consultants who work closely with students to enhance their applications and increase their chances of gaining admission to top universities.

About Company

Like most of their industry peers, SOS Admissions’ approach is personalized, focusing on each student's individual needs and goals, and consultants offer one-on-one coaching options for video, phone, or in-person meetings. They begin with an evaluation of the student's academic record, extracurricular activities, and personal interests to create a tailored admissions strategy. Consultants help students select appropriate colleges, ensuring a balanced list of reach, match, and safety schools.


The company will also “help write personal statements, resumes, and supplemental application forms and draft reference letters.” Their consultants, which include 3 former admissions officers, provide feedback to ensure the written components of the application effectively highlight the student's strengths and unique qualities.
