School Admission Consultation

Choosing the right school and navigating its admissions process can be challenging even for well-informed families.
Talent Prep Academy provides individualized school admission consultation for New York City and New Jersey families considering Hunter College Elementary School, Hunter College High School, and selective independent schools.
Our role is to help families understand their options, identify schools that fit their child, and approach each stage of the admissions process with a clear and informed strategy.

An Individualized Admissions Strategy
There is no single school or admissions strategy that is right for every child.
We begin by understanding the student’s academic development, personality, learning style, school experience, and family priorities. From there, we help parents build a realistic school list and determine which forms of preparation will be most valuable.
Families may book consultation as a standalone service or combine it with Talent Prep’s admissions-preparation programs.
