AdmissionPrep has not only helped me in my journey to post-secondary, but they've also been a huge motivation for me to succeed in my endeavours. My advisor, Catherine, is so kind, supportive, and understanding. Every essay, application, or task that I was assigned, she helped me every step of the way. I recommend AdmissionPrep to every student who feels alone, confused, or overwhelmed with their university applications. Getting into your desired program can never be an 100% certainty, but it's guaranteed that you won't leave empty-handed with this program!

It was an amazing experience
It was an amazing experience. I was thought about things I didn't know about university to successfully get into one. It was really great having Catherine help me also with what I needed to do for universities.

Hi Prince, thank you for the review! We're glad Catherine was able to guide you through what you needed for your university applications and share insights along the way. Best of luck with your studies!
I've been meeting with Nasrin for the past year and I couldn't have received a better advisor. She is very kind and understanding towards my busy schedule throughout high school and university. I greatly appreciate that she doesn't make me feel guilty for not completing a task or scholarship. She is supportive and helps me to find scholarships that are reasonable and interesting to me. My previous advisor was not as empathetic, which made it hard for me, but if you get a lovely advisor like Nasrin then I would highly recommend signing up for GrantMe. Both Nasrin and the editing team make me feel confident in my scholarship applications and has helped me receive multiple throughout the past year.

Hi Brooklyn, thanks so much for the review! Really glad Nasrin has been a good fit, and congrats on the scholarships!

Support with Planning and Applications
The guidance support I received from my account managers gave me the necessary information and confidence I needed as a student and writer to get admission into my top choice university. The intimidating process of writing applications was made simple and manageable for writers at all levels, and the feedback and insight I received during editing ensured my work was strong and polished before submission. I recommend AdmissionPrep for all students seeking guidance as they navigate and plan for academic life beyond high school, as the support they can provide is unmatched!

Meetings with Nicola are always very helpful and encouraging.. Thanks so much
Addmison Prep has done me wonders. As someone who started extremely late in the application process (supp apps, interview, Q&A, finances, etc), and had not so bright grade 11 marks. With my own drive and Admission preps, amazing support, counselling, and knowledge I've been able to gain admission to some of the top business schools in Canada. I recommend it to any motivated and ambitious students!

Thank you so much, Shayan! It's incredible to see how far you've come. Earning admission to some of the top business schools in Canada is a huge accomplishment. Wishing you nothing but success in this next chapter!

Helped me out and taught me new things!
With my own AdmissionPrep advisor, she has carried this pressure and stress of me building a strong application to be competitive for the degree I want to pursue. I am very thankful for the kindness and understanding of everyone and a big thanks to this great program that guides people to their desired pathways.

Thank you so much for the kind words! Building a competitive application can feel overwhelming, so we're really glad your advisor was able to take some of that pressure off and guide you with care. Wishing you all the best as you pursue the degree you've been working toward!

It’s worth it
They helped me get through the confusing process of applying to the universities I wanted, helped with scholarships, and helped me get accepted into many difficult university programs that I otherwise wouldn’t thought I could get.

Thank you, Armin! We're so glad we could help you navigate the application and scholarship process and that you've been accepted into programs you once thought were out of reach. Best of luck with everything ahead!

From Average Applicant to Queen’s Commerce
Working with Admission Prep and Nicola was a phenomenal experience. Over 13 months, Nicola analyzed my grades and extracurriculars and developed a plan to help me get into my top-choice program, Queen’s Commerce. If you are willing to put in the work, Admission Prep will help guide you toward your dream school!
Reply from AdmissionPrep2026-05-18
Congratulations on Queen's Commerce, Jaxon. What an amazing result! Thirteen months of consistent effort and a clear plan really do pay off, and you put in the work every step of the way. Nicola and the whole team are so proud of you. Best of luck at Queen's!

Be logical before signing up for educational scams
Yes, this is a complete SCAM program getting payments upfront in a way pressurizing the parents saying this offer is valid only for 24-48 hours. After the payment, they set up an account, set up tasks, and the session length is 30 mins duration, schedule is the only thing we can pick. Other than that no much follow ups or even session recaps or updates. Based on our experience we are alerting the parents don't be a prey for this or anything like this. Everything is a scam business. People who ask for a full payment for the entire package and say no monthly payment available we as parents should think about it. We want to give the best for our kids and that is our weakness and these business people play with that weakness. Paying upfront is not a big problem or scam but pressuring the parents to do that and no quality services after that is not acceptable. No one is going to ban these scammers but we as public should be aware of it and use our logical thinking to stay away from these scammers.

Hi Lavenya,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I sincerely apologize for the experience you and your family had at the start of working with our team. This is not the level of service we strive to provide.
At AdmissionPrep, we want every family's experience to be rooted in attention and care, and we never want pressure to be a part of the decision-making process. When you raised these concerns with our team, we identified that the original advisor pairing was not the right fit and rotated you to a new advisor. I understand you have continued working with our team since this review, and we're genuinely grateful for the opportunity to support your family the way we should have from the start.
Our website outlines our pricing, service fees, and exactly what is included in each program, so families can review everything ahead of time before enrolling. You can find that public page here: https://admissionprep.com/request-fees-and-pricing-page
If there is anything still falling short, please email [email protected] directly. We wish your family the best moving forward.
SCAM! They take thousands of dollars from you, their claim is that they will give you an experienced educator that will create initiatives tailored to you to get you into your dream school. However, the “experienced educators” weren't a day over 20, they kept getting switched out randomly, and the advice and innovative given to me were from a list you could find on google. They use high pressure sales tactics to make you believe you can’t get into schools without their help, when they really do nothing and any advice they gave can be given by your guidance counsellor for free. They also refused to give a refund, don’t waste your time and money here.
EDIT: they replied saying I used all their services but every call I went into was a complete waste of my time, I KNOW this place is a scam BECAUSE I used all their services, if I didn’t use them how could I write this review????? Also, the “university” I got into was Capilano, they just told me how to go on the website to apply to it lol they had no part in me getting in! The only useful feature was the essay editing but that is not worth thousands of dollars…and I did not work closely with one person, as I mentioned earlier my mentor got switched out multiple times. I have proof of all my claims, @admissionprep your response is full of shit

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you felt this way about your experience.
At AdmissionPrep, we take the trust families place in us seriously and want each family’s experience to be rooted in attention and care. We never want a family to feel pressured, and we are sorry that this was how you felt.
Students in our program typically work closely with one primary advisor, while also benefiting from a broader team with specialized skill sets in areas such as writing coaching, strategy, and application support. We are proud of our team and the care they provide, as well as the outcomes they help students work toward.
In this case, the student scheduled and attended more than eight sessions with us, received more than ten essay reviews and editing rounds, and did receive a university acceptance. Because support was provided and extensively used, we were unable to issue a refund.
We understand that not every family will view their experience the same way, but we do stand behind the time, care, and support our team provided throughout the process. We wish you all the best moving forward.

Great support from the team
Great support from the team! The Admission Prep people are so nice. I love how they are really personable and professional. Truly a dream to work with them.
The advisor/assessor on the first meeting was really nice and seemed to have good information for us. We were ready to sign up with them but then at the end when we said we wanted to think about it then she told us we only had 3 days to sign up or the discount they were giving us would expire. Then, she said we could have 3 days to think about it and let them know during the onboarding meeting if we were in or not. When we were discussing our work and school schedules for the week to setup that next meeting, we asked for a few more days and then she reiterated that we could only have 3 days to set up the meeting so we did. But, it really left a bad taste in our mouth after the meeting on how pushy they were about having us give an answer within 3 days of the initial meeting. Her reason was that she wanted to give our daughter the maximum time to help her plan for upcoming admission applications in Sept/Oct which is 10 months away. At our next meeting, which was setup at 745p PST, it was the same advisor from Toronto. When we told her how the 3 day deadline at the end of the last meeting felt really pushy, she got super defensive and said it was not her but company policy which she could nothing about. She also said she stayed up late for this meeting for us and we could have as much time to think about it as we want now and that she would be signing off because she stayed up late. She was super abrupt and rude at the end which really just helped us make our decision that we will not be going with AdmissionPrep. We were genuinely unsure up to that point about how to proceed. Also, if she is from Toronto and stayed up late for a meeting in Vancouver then maybe the company should assign someone from Vancouver to residents in the West when meetings are later. That is an issue between her and the AdmissionPrep company. She should take that up with them and not announce that to potential clients. You are not doing us any favors by staying up. It is your job that you chose to work at.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I sincerely apologize for the experience you and your family had with our team. This is not the level of service we strive to provide.
Our goal is always to support families in making the best decision for their situation, and we never want a family to feel that they were put on a timeline that doesn't work for them. We apologize that, after you clearly communicated that you needed more time to consider such an important decision, you felt that there was any pressure. We never want pressure to be a part of the decision-making process of working with us, and we're very sorry about this.
I also apologize for the scheduling issue regarding the late meeting from Toronto. Time zone considerations should be managed between our advisor and our company, not passed on to our clients as a reason for rushing important decisions. We'll be addressing this with the advisor you spoke with.
We genuinely appreciate that you took the time to meet with us twice, and I'm sorry that you left feeling pressured rather than supported. Your daughter's college application journey is important, and we never want the experience to feel like that for any family.
While I understand this experience has led you to choose a different path, I want you to know that your feedback is being taken seriously and we'll be following up with your advisor to ensure other families don't experience this.
We wish you and your family all the best with her applications.
I've been with AdmissionPrep for around seven months now. My current advisor, Jasmine Chen, has been a pleasure to work with. She's supportive and fun, and has been a much appreciated resource to help guide the process for achieving my university aspirations. I started AdmissionPrep pretty late, a little before the start of my high school senior year, but I've still found it a valuable asset. I'd recommend this program to anyone a little uncertain about their future, to offer some reassurance and aid.
