Rao Advisors - Home

 

We hope that you can join the hundreds of our student clients in the United States and from around the world who have won admission to top colleges and universities in the U.S. This year alone, our students entered such reputed institutions as the University of Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, Duke, the University of Michigan, Rice, the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, UT Austin, Texas A & M, the University of  Utah, the University of Minnesota, USC, the University of Virginia, and Virginia Tech.

We provide a full suite of services - high school course planning, college readiness, college selection, and admissions strategies, financial planning, advice for demonstrating student interest in colleges, structured essay reviews - from when your child is in the 8th grade to when the last college admissions offer is received.

Our lead counselor is Rajkamal Rao, the founding Managing Director of the firm.  Please check out his bio here. Check out our public reviews on Google or feel free to ask any of our 460+ followers on our Facebook page.

With us, you pay by the hour (drink) - no contracts, no minimums, no fixed-fee packages.  You can hire us for just one hour during your child's high school years or 20 hours - the choice is totally up to you. Our rate card is very simple:

• Tier A. If you hire us on demand (and for a single task), our rate is $119/hour. Your child can be in any grade.


• Tier B. 11th & 12th graders:  $109/hour.   


• Tier C. Younger grades:   $99/hour. 

Our business model is to provide you with as much information for free - via our popular posts on this website, Facebook page, and public seminars. We only charge when you engage with us for one-on-one help, either online or offline. But you always control how much you want to engage, down to the hour. This allows you to better budget your spend. It is one reason we are so popular with our clients.

We work hard to win your trust.  We are responsive, often getting back to you in a matter of minutes.  Our workday begins at 7 AM and ends at 11 PM.  We're open on weekends and holidays.  We counsel by Skype.  We make house calls and discuss your child's situation in the comfort of your living room for a small per-visit surcharge.  Our essay review process is among the best - after all, our lead reviewer is a weekly international columnist for India's second-largest financial newspaper!
