Why Lux Admissions Stands Out

Redefining College Admissions Consulting

Excellence, Without Compromise

Families who expect elite results turn to Lux Admissions — because when the stakes are high, experience and excellence make all the difference.

Our Results Speak for Themselves

But how do we get these results?

There are four unique pillars that makes Lux different—and better than our competitors.

These allow Lux Admissions uniquely to provide your child with the strategic edge to stand out in a competitive admissions landscape.

  • Unmatched Insight Through Exclusive Access to Admissions Files

    At Lux Admissions, all of our mentors have read and analyzed their admission files. Every time one of our students gains acceptance, we ask them to share the contents of their file with us. This allows us to stay up to date on how each top university evaluates applications, and what they are looking for. With this insider perspective, we demystify the admissions process and give you an unparalleled perspective from the decision room. 

  • Guaranteed Results or Your Money Back

    We are so confident in our ability to deliver that we guarantee admission into at least one of your child’s top three school choices—or we refund your money. This bold promise reflects our commitment to excellence and our track record of success. Families choose Lux Admissions because we deliver results that match their trust. We care about your child’s success as much as you do.

  • Exclusive, Individualized Attention From Each Mentor

    We prioritize quality over quantity. Each of our consultants works with, at most, five students at a time. This allows us to dive deeply into each student’s unique strengths and aspirations, crafting an application strategy that highlights their individuality and maximizes their chances of success. Our white-glove consulting service gives individualized attention to each student from today to decision day.

  • Experienced, Near-Peer Mentors Who Understand High School Students

    Our team isn’t just composed of admissions experts; we are experienced mentors who have worked extensively with high school students. As near-peer mentors, we understand their challenges, stresses, and schedules. Whether it’s balancing a packed calendar, preparing for an important exam, or addressing pre-application jitters, we will always have their back.

Choose Lux

Admission officers are great. But referees don’t necessarily make for great coaches.

It may be tempting to hire a former admissions officer. While we have former admission staff we consult with, Lux truly believes that a near-peer mentor will motivate and empathize with a high school student. Admission officers review applications in the aggregate to shape the best class of students. But the mentors at Lux will help your student stand out as an individual—a compelling candidate worthy of admission in any freshman class. 

Navigating the college admissions process can feel overwhelming, especially when aiming for the most competitive universities. At Lux Admissions, we understand the stakes and the aspirations of families who want the very best for their children. That's why we make sure all of our mentors are extraordinary.
