We don’t just get you into college; we arm you with the tools you need to succeed once you are there.
Unlike our competitors, College Prep 360 is an organization founded by educators. Our mission is to fill in the gaps between what students get in school and what they need to know to be prepared for a top college. When designing the 360 approach, Dr. Joie Jager-Hyman drew on her expertise as a former Assistant Director of Admissions at Dartmouth College, the research on access to higher education that she mastered during her Doctoral training at Harvard University and -- most importantly -- the skills and competencies that she wanted her own son to have in preparation for college. The result is the innovative Four Pillar Method, a unique and comprehensive college prep program. From Emotional Intelligence to Study Skills, Test Prep and College Counseling, 360 Scholars who have mastered each step of the process are not only accepted to their first choice colleges -- they arrive with the emotional and academic tool box they need to succeed.
Success Stories
"I can’t stop smiling!!!! Thank you so much for everything!!!"-Text message from student after finding out that she got into Brown
“I was so glad I was introduced to Joie. Her experience helped me throughout the entire college application process. Her insight to the admissions process was evident during my interactions with her. She has great ability to draw out the best in people and leveraging their strengths to differentiate oneself.”
-Student accepted to Vassar
“Joie's assistance in the college application process removed the stress for both my son and I from what can be an incredibly stressful time! From using her knowledge to select the right schools to apply, and following her guidance to construct essay's that are creative, concise and quite frankly really good, she is well educated in every step of the process."

Why We Are Different
Most kids spend two or three years and thousands of dollars preparing for college. They take (and retake) the SATs, go on academic summer programs, visit college campuses, overload on AP courses, struggle to get good grades, join too many extracurricular organizations, play demanding Varsity sports, do hundreds of hours of community service, get no sleep—and wind up disappointed when they don’t get into their dream college or feeling burned out when they do.
College Prep 360 wants to change the way that students prepare for college. Instead of thinking about high school as a means to an end, we work with 360 Scholars (yes, we call our clients scholars) to provide a value-added, holistic approach to college preparation. Our program is designed to help students cultivate genuine intellectual curiosity, think critically, learn more while studying less, develop useful strategies for standardized tests, identify their extracurricular passions, become leaders, and make a difference in the world around them.
