Services We Provide

Because each student’s path to college is unique, Rapaport Consulting creates a personalized action plan tailored to each student’s needs. Whether your teen is a freshman or sophomore in the early stages of thinking about college and career, a junior searching for their “best fit” school, or a senior completing college applications, Rapaport Consulting offers professional support and guidance.

Comprehensive College Admission Program

Freshmen and Sophomores

We work one-on-one, supporting students through the process of self-discovery while helping them create a personalized action plan that allows for the full range of post-secondary options. Early planning is often a pivotal factor for performing artists, athletes, and those seeking admittance to the most selective colleges.

Juniors and Seniors

Beginning in the junior year when we help the student articulate their post-secondary goals, and continuing through the first semester of college, our Comprehensive College Admission Program supports families along every step of the college search, application, and admission process.

Junior Year

We know there are a lot of “best” college lists, but we wonder best for whom? Rapaport Consulting is dedicated to helping you identify the best college for you, the school where you will thrive academically and socially while staying within your budget. During your junior year, we focus on building a selected list of potential colleges uniquely suited to you.
