EduAvenues results
These results and reviews come from EduAvenues programs for other schools and services. They are not Andover admissions results, and no program can promise admission.
The AndoverPrep difference
The four questions Andover parents ask us most, answered plainly.
An EduAvenues instructor, not software. Your student gets line-by-line notes on their Andover essay response, and you get notes on the parent statement, usually within 7 business days.
Applicants submit an essay response through Gateway to Prep Schools.
Lessons follow Andover's own application: the essay response, the graded writing sample, the video response, the parent statement, and the interview.
After the Candidate Profile, applicants submit a graded writing sample, an essay response, a short video response, a parent/guardian statement, current and previous grades, and four recommendations.
It is online and self-paced. Your student works in short sessions around classes, sports, and family time, with no fixed class to miss and a real instructor to answer questions.
Both are part of the application, and both get easier with practice. Your student rehearses answers out loud until they sound like a conversation, not a script.
The interview is Step 2 of Andover's application; applicants choose an on-campus interview, a virtual interview, or an interview recording.
How it works
Study on your schedule. Draft, submit for review, and revise with specific notes from an instructor.
Open a video lesson or written guide any time. Each one covers a part of the application your student is working on now.
Write a response, then submit it for review. Each response submitted for review uses one feedback credit.
An instructor returns line-by-line notes on what to keep, cut, and strengthen, usually within 7 business days. Questions about the notes never use a credit.
Instructor essay feedback on your Andover essay response and the parent statement. 6 instructor feedback credits, more at $25 each, usually within 7 business days.

Andover's admission is need-blind: applying for financial aid does not affect the admission decision.
