Led by local students you can trust
Every counselor at Local Admit graduated from Miramonte, Campolindo, and Acalanes High School. They understand what it takes to stand out in the Lamorinda applicant pool because they came from it—and succeeded.
We target this area because we love to see students in our community thrive in their college applications and beyond. No other college counseling service operates as locally as we do.
What we do
Mentor matching
We pair your student with a high-achieving mentor from a top university who best fits their interests, goals, and personality.
Strategy & planning
One-on-one guidance in strategic school selection, application timeline, extracurricular development, essay and narrative development.
Build structure and clarity
We reduce uncertainty for your family by providing consistent guidance, honest feedback, and a clear roadmap. We help your child develop a clear and compelling narrative that impresses admissions officers.
Our Plan
Here is our 4-step plan that has worked for us in the past.
1. Personal discovery - this is the most important stage yet the most overlooked one
2. Build - finding activities that align to your passions and goals
3. Optimize - Tailor your extracurriculars to admissions officers by developing leadership, commitment, and impact.
4. Story narrative - this is where everything comes together into one unique story.
