Frequently Asked Questions
Who will work with my student?
A dedicated, full-time near-peer mentor, matched specifically to your student’s personality, goals, and interests. Behind that one relationship stands a full team of specialists, working together for seamless support throughout the admissions journey.
How are Command's college admissions mentors matched with students?
When a student enrolls, both student and parents complete detailed questionnaires covering interests, goals, academic background, and personality. From there, our consulting leadership and enrollment team work together to assign the consultant who’s the best personal fit. A student’s interests may evolve, but their core personality stays consistent, and that’s what makes the relationship last.
Are Command's college admissions mentors full-time?
Yes! All Command Education college admissions mentors, as well as college application specialists, tutors, and support staff, are full-time, expert resources committed to helping you succeed.
What do the former admissions officers on the Command Admissions Advisory Board do?
Our Admissions Advisory Board brings insights from people who’ve actually sat on the other side of the admissions desk. They advise mentors closely on student progress, bringing an institutional perspective to everything from school selection to student narrative development. They also play a key role in mentor training, ongoing strategic support, and as-needed check-ins regarding important student milestones.
How many people support each student?
Every student has one dedicated consultant at the center of their experience, backed by a full team across five specialist areas, including application specialists, testing experts, insights and design team, mentor management, and the Admissions Advisory Board. This multi-layered strategy ensures that every student benefits from the personalized attention of a dedicated mentor and the collective insight of a broader team of experts.
