Founded at Yale and operating around the world, this is our story.
InGenius Prep was founded on the simple observation that the most direct source of admissions knowledge comes from the people who actually worked inside the admissions office: Former Admissions Officers. In 2013 on Yale’s campus, we set out on a mission to build the largest team of Former Admissions Officers in the world. And that’s what we did. Over the last 10+ years, our team of over 150 Former Admissions Officers from every top school in the United States has helped 6,000+ students around the world get into their reach schools.
Simply put, our mission is to offer students the highest quality admissions services in the world.
Our primary focus is on the quality and consistency of our services. Rather than operating as a counselor pairing agency or middle man, the way many companies in this industry do, we believe that InGenius Prep must offer a vast array of resources and curriculum to ensure the best possible services for every student. Great service comes from great counselors making use of great educational resources.
At our company, we believe success comes from dedicated effort. We pride ourselves on being the hardest working team in this industry. From the beginning, hard work has been the foundation of our success.
We think, move, and grow quickly. We believe in the power of new ideas, creativity, and pushing boundaries.
The temptation to behave unethically in this industry is ubiquitous. We believe that we must be ethical leaders and set a strong example in this space. Thus, we never write essays for students. We never make “guarantees” to families in search of our help. We always focus on making great applicants—not just making great applications.
