InGenius Prep was built around a simple realization: the best guidance comes from the people who made the decisions themselves. Founded at Yale in 2013 and trusted by families in 40+ countries, we have the world's largest team of Former Admissions Officers — 160+ who once decided admissions at Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT, and every Ivy. Every student works 2-on-1 through the InGenius Method: a Former Admissions Officer who knows the committee room paired with a Graduate Coach who recently navigated the same journey. Together, they develop the person behind the application, not just the file. The results speak for themselves. Our students hold a 12.5x Ivy+ advantage over the national average, with 1 in 2 admitted to an Ivy+ school and an average of 4.37 offers per student. Named to the Inc. 5000 six times and featured in Forbes, Business Insider, and EdWeek, InGenius Prep supports families from 5th grade through professional school across undergraduate, business, law, medical, and graduate admissions.
