Reducing Stress

Offering a strategic process when applying to colleges and universities.

Why Choose Preferred Admissions?

We pride ourselves on working with a limited number of high school students on the college selection and admissions process. Our goal is to work one-on-one with each student to identify which schools will be the best match for them academically, financially, and will allow them to grow individually. Recognizing the characteristics a student wants in a college requires thoughtful introspection and is the first step in developing the college list.

Do not let the college process add stress to your senior year or family life. Work with Preferred Admissions and let us guide you through the process so that you can get the most out of your last year of high school.

The college application process can be really stressful especially if you’re applying to lots of colleges while also taking AP classes. Thank God I had Lindsay on my side, she took away most of the overwhelming feeling I was having by helping me build a to do list that allows me to organize my application process and feel a sense of control over it.

Client Feedback

Going into the college process, I knew close to nothing. My knowledge of college applications and admissions consisted of the Common App, MIT, and Harvard. Mrs. Ryan not only introduced me to the steps required of me to apply to schools, but she also helped me create a list of schools that would be the perfect fit for me. She is extremely dedicated to all her students and is very attentive to their needs in wishes. We had countless meetings to discuss anything ranging from my progress, to editing my essays, or just having a helping hand to lean on. Without Mrs. Ryan to help me through the process, I would have been lost, and I credit her with my success through this college ordeal. I am so thankful for all her support, and now I can say that I will be a part of the Tufts University Class of 2023 thanks to her.

We are forever grateful to Lindsay and Preferred Admissions for helping us navigate our first time through college admissions. Lindsay’s knowledge, guidance, and investment in our son during this daunting process was invaluable….Lindsay stayed positive throughout the entire process and helped steer decisions and timelines with ease.

Lindsay was a very good communicator. I had a very tight schedule while at boarding school. She was very understanding with deadlines and always making herself available to me. She was always there when I needed her.

JOE C., Villanova University

Lindsay’s services were extremely helpful and insightful throughout the college selection process. She helped minimize parental micromanaging and let us focus on our daughter.

Lindsay kept us updated and kept our daughter on point from selecting a school, reviewing applications, prepping for interviews and having her follow up. Her help was invaluable.

Lindsay did a great job over the summer of keeping me on a timeline and working within my schedule. She helped me think through some of the choices I had to make, being honest and realistic while always being positive!

MAE C., Providence College
…Lindsay has a very nice way of connecting with students and getting them to self-reflect and really think about what is important to them as they start to navigate the college admission process…Through Lindsay’s guidance, my son and I had a (mostly) stress free fall and I am happy to say that he was admitted to his first choice college!

BETH F., Parent
I was looking for help with the college process for my twins. Lindsay was recommended to me and I cannot say enough have smoothly she handled the process. She kept the children on a schedule, accomplish tasks in a timely manner, gave them a realistic viewpoint of the process and the possibilities. She worked directly with the the kids while working separately with me to understand what stage each child was at in the process, how I could help, and when my feedback was needed. The process went smoothly, without worry, and was successful in getting each child in a school that was best fitted for them!
