Chantine Akiyama and PrepScholar played a pivotal role in helping me gain admission to my top-choice universities. I truly cannot overstate how much Chantine’s constant support — whether through her detailed, thoughtful essay feedback or her tireless guidance throughout my portfolio development — contributed to my success. From our ongoing conversations about refining my essays to the impromptu early-morning sessions dedicated to perfecting my portfolio, Chantine was always there when I needed her most. Her dedication and insight were invaluable, and I’m incredibly grateful. I cannot thank her enough or recommend her more highly for anyone navigating the university application process!

The experience went well, they are very helpful in keeping track and editing along with giving us ideas to write.

Sarah was an amazing counselor. It was my first experience working with any sort of counseling service and I was really scared I would be uncomfortable. Sarah never made me feel like that, and I felt comfortable and at ease talking to her. She made the process feel less stressful, and I am truly grateful for our time together. She was so genuine and willing to help and so kind and understanding. I really appreciated her.

As an international student, I knew nothing about the American education system. Chantine really helped me write and structure my essays and understand the admission process. I was worried I wouldn't finish everything on time because I started my application late, but I ended up finishing a month early thanks to Chantine. The work was well organized and the tips very useful. Her encouragement and kindness made me want to not disappoint her. I couldn't have done it without her.

Prep Scholar is an incredible resource for college prep and for the SAT! I love how it is so individualized and tailored to the students' personal needs.

The help was extremely helpful!. My advisor, Chantine Akiyama, facilitated massively the admission process as someone who knew very little. She helped rigourously edit essays to tailor them for each school, providing plenty of ressources such as scholarship info, essay examples, inspiration etc... Overall, everything was extremely organised and well structured and couldn't have gone smoother. 100% recommend.

Chantine Akiyama was my counselor for all 4 years of my high school, and I enjoyed every session with her. Not only was she informative on what I needed to succeed in college admissions and high school work, she was also my friend. She gave me valuable insight on what activities to do in school while also being genuinely interested in my personality and interests. I was aiming for art school with lots of passion but not enough work to show, but Chantine helped me gain the necesary activities and knowledge and resources to put together a portfolio that landed me in SAIC, the most influential art school in the world. I am forever grateful for her support and help during such a pivotal moment in my life. Thank you Chantine

The best thing about this class is the connection, without a doubt the teacher creates the way we learn, the connection to the work would not ever have been deep enough for me to understand without the teacher giving me a good way to experience it, by far this is the most fun I've had learning and the connection to the class has been fun
