Maximum personalization, accountability, and engagement for acceptance to top-choice universities.
We begin working with students as early as freshman year, providing comprehensive strategies to guide them through every stage of high school. Our program helps students build a strong academic and extracurricular profile, craft standout essays, and secure scholarships—all while staying ahead of deadlines.
The earlier students start, the more time they have to maximize their opportunities and position themselves for success at their dream schools.
Personalized guidance leads to stronger outcomes. At Amikka, students work directly with dedicated advisors who take the time to understand their academic profile, goals, extracurriculars, and story. This allows us to build a far more strategic and individualized admissions plan than large, high-volume advising firms.
Most 1-on-1 college advising programs cost $200+ per hour. Starting at only $58 per hour for 1-on-1 advising, we’re extremely affordable in comparison. Our mission is to expand access to higher education for students of all backgrounds and circumstances.
All Amikka advisors attended highly selective universities like UPenn, Duke, and Harvard. Most are undergraduate students or recent college graduates, allowing them to relate to and connect with high school students on a personal level. Having gone through admissions within the last 10 years, our advisors are fully up to date on the latest strategies for becoming a competitive applicant.
Beyond their expertise, they are friendly, motivating, and engaging—dedicated to helping students succeed. The name “Amikka” is inspired by the Spanish word “amiga,” meaning friend—a reflection of our commitment to making learning a supportive and positive experience.
