TOP 3 CHOICE
Over the past 5 years, 94% of our students were accepted to one of their top three school choices.
Including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, UPenn, Dartmouth, Cornell, Brown, Stanford, MIT, and more.
Command Education works with students in both public and private schools throughout the U.S. to provide one-on-one, near-peer support as students build a standout college admissions profile- starting as early as 7th grade.
Each roadmap and plan is highly individualized for every student we work with. This includes skill level and interest and thus varies greatly depending on the student’s age. Students who are proactive about starting in middle school or early in high school have more time to identify their interests, as demonstrated by Samantha in our case study below.

Samantha’s Story
Samantha was a freshman attending Highland Park High School in Dallas when she began working with Command Education. She was interested in sustainability and environmental activism—and firmly believed that every person could make a difference.
With the guidance of Wafa, her Senior Mentor at Command Education, Samantha started an “adopt-a-park” program at her high school, through which she regularly hosted local park cleanups throughout the metro area. Samantha promoted her straightforward idea on social media and at local businesses. Meanwhile, her mentor provided support as she collaborated with other students to launch the program at other high schools throughout Dallas and Fort Worth. By the end of her junior year, Samantha had successfully helped 9 other high schools implement the “adopt-a-park” initiative. Proud of the hard work they’d all accomplished together, she hosted an annual “Fun In the Sun” party, which was sponsored by local restaurants and businesses.
Samantha was recognized by her high school and her county for her hard work. Academically, Samantha continued to focus on STEM courses and took as many science classes as possible at her high school. She also spent her summers completing environmental activism work in Northern California with a professor from UCLA, during which she learned the basic tenets of sustainable activism. She worked with a Command Education tutor to improve her ACT score from a 31 to a 35 the summer before her senior year.
Samantha gained admission to Stanford University as an Earth Systems interdisciplinary major.
