The ChoatePrep difference

Choate-specific feedback, on your student's own words.

The four questions Choate parents ask us most, answered plainly.

Who is reading my child's essays?

An EduAvenues instructor, not software. Your student gets line-by-line notes on their Choate essays, and you get notes on the parent statement, usually within 7 business days.

Part 2 of the Gateway application for Choate includes applicant essays.

Is this actually preparing my child for Choate?

Lessons follow Choate's own application steps: the essays, the parent statement, testing if you choose to submit it, and the interview.

Standardized testing is optional for admission to Choate.

How does this fit into a busy school year?

It is online and self-paced. Your student works in short sessions around classes, sports, and family time, with no fixed class to miss and a real instructor to answer questions.

What about the interview?

Choate interviews happen online and include one-on-one time with your student. Practice with sample questions helps them speak clearly about what they care about.

The interview appointment lasts 45 minutes, with the first 20 to 25 minutes spent one-on-one with the student.

How it works

How Choate Prep Flex works.

Study on your schedule. Draft, submit for review, and revise with specific notes from an instructor.

  1. 01

    Watch or read a lesson

    Open a video lesson or written guide any time. Each one covers a part of the application your student is working on now.

  2. 02

    Draft and submit

    Write a response, then submit it for review. Each response submitted for review uses one feedback credit.

  3. 03

    Revise with specific notes

    An instructor returns line-by-line notes on what to keep, cut, and strengthen, usually within 7 business days. Questions about the notes never use a credit.

Instructor essay feedback on your Choate essays and the parent statement. 6 instructor feedback credits, more at $25 each, usually within 7 business days.

What your student will work on

  • Lessons for every part of the Choate application
  • Interview practice with sample questions and answers

Timeline

Key dates for this admissions cycle.

Work backward from these dates and leave time for drafts, recommendations, and testing.

January 15, 2027

Application deadline

  1. January 15, 2027

    Application deadline

    Choate lists January 15 as its application deadline.

  2. February 1, 2027

    Late materials

    If the Gateway application is submitted by January 15, late recommendations, transcripts, or test scores that arrive by February 1 still allow an on-time decision.

  3. March 10, 2027

    Admission decisions

    Choate says applicants who submit the Gateway Application by January 15, with any late materials arriving by February 1, should expect an on-time admission decision on March 10; it cannot guarantee a March 10 decision for applications received after January 15.
