Marksman College Consulting
The college admissions process can be stressful and difficult. We know exactly what that’s like. Marksman was founded by a team of students who navigated today’s complex admissions process with success. After going through the process and coming out on the other side, we realized that most families approach college admissions with the wrong strategy—and with each passing semester, the window of opportunity closes. We created Marksman to demystify the process and share what we've learned.
The Marksman Difference
At Marksman, we’ve read real admissions officers’ notes on our college applications. Our extensive student network provides us with insider knowledge about what colleges most want to see, so we know what works and what doesn’t. Marksman staff have been accepted at Yale, Princeton, Stanford, UChicago, Dartmouth, UVA, Northwestern, Williams, Georgetown, and more — and we offer our services for less than half market price.
"When I started my personal statement, I felt lost. I wasn't sure what colleges wanted to see or what a good essay looked like, so I just tried to follow guidelines I found on the internet. But Marksman took my essay and gave me paragraphs of specific advice on everything from structure to how to target it toward admissions officers. They helped me improve my essay in ways I would never have thought of, and by the end, I was really proud of it. I know for a fact I couldn't have done this without them."
