Where Solomon Admissions Ranks Among the Best College Consultants

About Solomon Admissions

Since its founding in 2014 by Georgetown Law graduates Vitaly Borishan and Dan Lee, Solomon Admissions Consulting has grown into one of America’s largest and most respected college consulting firms. Based in New York City, they’ve assembled over 150 former admissions officers from elite universities who have collectively reviewed more than 700,000 applications. 

Their proprietary “Solomon Methodology” focuses on strategic positioning and comprehensive application development. They offer undergraduate, graduate, and K-12 private school admissions services through a unique 2-on-1 model that pairs students with both a former admissions officer and a graduate coach. While their premium services come with a high price tag, Solomon claims success rates five times above the national average for top universities, establishing them as a leader in college admissions consulting.

According to their website, their clients are 6.1x more likely to be accepted to Ivy Plus Schools (all 8 Ivy League schools plus Stanford, MIT, Duke and UChicago), based on independently verified 2023-24 acceptance rates compared to the national averages reported by these institutions.
