What do private admissions consultants in Los Angeles do?

Private admissions consultants provide help to families navigating the competitive admissions landscape of top private schools and colleges in Los Angeles. We support families in making well-informed decisions about everything from choosing the best schools to apply to, what internships and extracurricular activities to engage in, to what to write about for the admissions essay. We make sure that families are presenting their best selves throughout the application process and that their applications stand out from the competition by working closely with them.  

We have insider knowledge of specific schools or programs enabling us to create customized strategies and craft tailored applications to meet the unique requirements and preferences of each institution. 

What sets Cardinal Education apart from other consulting companies is our holistic approach. We help students identify their strengths, interests, and goals and use them to create a powerful application profile that admissions officers will notice. We review application materials, provide feedback, and make recommendations on the areas that need to be improved. Such recommendations may include test preparation for SSAT, ISEE, or HSPT, tutoring, academic coaching, or engaging in other extracurricular activities, summer programs, or other opportunities to enhance their application.
