With over fifteen years of certified experience and hundreds of college acceptances, we are The College Application Professionals.
Founded in 2005 as College Prep Rx, we served among Southeast Michigan’s leading college consulting groups for nearly 15 years. In that time, we honed our expertise with college admissions conferences, certifications, on-site tours, 1:1 college counseling, and several hundreds of applications and acceptances across the board. We’re proud to report 100% of our students were accepted into a college they were excited to attend.
In 2025, we return as The College Application Professionals, bringing decades of certified experience to the application process. From small colleges to large universities, public and private, liberal arts and technical, highly selective and more accessible, we are the The College Application Professionals.
While based in the Great Lakes, we offer virtual services across the nation. In-person support is optional for metro Detroit and Chicago applicants.
