Trusted by 400+ families since 2014
The full circle of college admissions, guided with care.
Admision360 is a boutique advisory in Chicago that walks Latino, first‑generation and international families through every step of the U.S. college admissions journey — from sophomore-year planning to the day the acceptance letter arrives.
Who we are
A second set of expert eyes on the most important application of your life.
Founded by former Northwestern admissions reader Luis Aramayo, Admision360 was built for the families that the U.S. admissions system was not originally designed for. We translate the unwritten rules, demystify financial aid, and write alongside every student until their voice is unmistakably their own.
- One-on-one counselor relationship — no junior staff handoffs
- Bilingual support in English and Spanish for the whole family
- Transparent pricing and payment plans for every household
- Member, Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA)
What we do
Services built around the student, not a checklist.
School List Strategy
We build a balanced list of reach, target and likely schools that matches your academics, finances, and personality.
Essay Coaching
From brainstorming to final polish, we coach your Common App and supplemental essays until they sound unmistakably like you.
Application Management
Common App, Coalition, UC, QuestBridge — we track deadlines, requirements, and recommendation logistics across every platform.
Scholarships & Financial Aid
FAFSA, CSS Profile, institutional aid and private scholarships — we help families uncover money they didn't know existed.
Test Prep Roadmap
Personalized SAT/ACT plans, test-optional strategy, and partnerships with vetted tutors when extra horsepower is needed.
Interview & Decision Coaching
Mock interviews, deposit decisions, gap-year planning, and transfer strategy when first-year results don't match the dream.
Our process
A calm, four‑season roadmap.
Most families come to us anxious. They leave each meeting with one clear list of what to do before the next one. That's the promise.

Families say
The quiet relief of being guided.
“Luis didn't just edit my essays — he helped me figure out who I am on paper. I'm now at Cornell on a near-full ride.”
“We're a first-generation family. Admision360 explained the FAFSA in Spanish to my parents and saved us almost $40,000.”
“I came in test-anxious and unsure. By March I had five acceptances, including my reach. This service is worth every dollar.”
Where our students go
Acceptances from the class of 2024.
A representative slice — not a promise, but a pattern of fit.
Senior year is closer than it feels.
