Former President, Princeton University
College Admissions Officer
I got to know the founders of ePrep when they were undergraduates at Princeton University back in the late 1980s. They are innovators who, fifteen years out of college, used their experiences in education to create a video-based online delivery platform that simulates the often pricey private tutoring experience.

With our third child, we went with ePrep instead of a local tutor or a well-known SAT course. It was the best money we spent getting a child into a good college. I wish we had done it for Dylan&s older brother and sister.

I wish my teachers explained things as well as ePrep experts do.

Thanks a million for your help!!! Hannah brought her score up from a 28 (stuck for three consecutive tests) to a 30! This means she will get a full scholarship at her chosen school. Our friends will hear about your terrific service. You saved us $20,800!

ePrep is easy to use and the videos are easy to follow. I practice with ePrep whenever I have a break in my busy schedule. I have actually been doing better in school since I started eprepping for the SAT.

My son is an athlete with a busy schedule. I feel good knowing that ePrep will not only help him score higher on the SAT, it will help him prepare for the academic demands of a selective college.

BCP makes it easy for us to match our athletes with the colleges that suit them best. BCP also allows our coaches to spend more time coaching and less time answering questions about the college search process. It’s an incredibly valuable tool that our athletes enjoy using.

BCP helps me pick the courses I’ll need to take in order to be ‘on track’ for my dream colleges. I’m glad I found BCP early in my high school career.

If it hadn’t been for the Betterton College Planner, I would have had a college list with too many ‘safety schools.’ I didn’t realize that my extracurricular accomplishments and personal circumstances would be considered by college admission staffs. Thanks!

BCP continues to impress me. Its database includes virtually every college in the United States. Its Fit & Match algorithm is highly accurate in predicting the student’s likelihood of admission. And parents appreciate the Cost & Aid section, which provides valuable information on the ‘actual’ cost of attendance.
Tom Bottorf
College Admissions Officer
ePrep's user interface is well designed, the program is intuitive, and videos are truly eye-opening. Because higher test scores help with admissions and merit-based scholarships, ePrep makes sense for all college-bound students.

This is our third year using ePrep. Year in, year out, students, teachers, and parents of all three high schools in Central Bucks are delighted with ePrep for the PLAN, PSAT, SAT, and ACT. We are excited to have been one of the first school districts to use ePrep.
