HarvardWestlakePrep by EduAvenues is an independent service, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Harvard-Westlake School.
Focused guidance for the Harvard-Westlake application: the Student Questionnaire, the ISEE, and the interview. Your student works on their own schedule and gets line-by-line feedback from an EduAvenues instructor.

EduAvenues results
These results and reviews come from EduAvenues programs for other schools and services. They are not Harvard-Westlake admissions results, and no program can promise admission.
The HarvardWestlakePrep difference
The four questions Harvard-Westlake parents ask us most, answered plainly.
An EduAvenues instructor, not software. Your child gets line-by-line notes on their Student Questionnaire answers, usually within 7 business days: what sounds like them, and what sounds like everyone else.
Applicants complete a Student Questionnaire of short-answer questions about themselves and their interests.
Lessons follow the school's own application: the Student Questionnaire, the ISEE, recommendations, and the interview. The school does not recommend ISEE tutoring, so our feedback focuses on the questionnaire and the interview.
Harvard-Westlake does not recommend taking the ISEE more than once and does not recommend tutoring or other special preparation.
It is online and self-paced. Your child works in short sessions around school, activities, and family time, with no fixed class to miss and a real instructor to answer questions.
Early. Seventh and ninth grade applicants who submit the Application Form by the November interview invitation deadline are invited to interview, so it helps to have the form done before the questionnaire.
7th and 9th grade applicants who submit the Application Form by November 13, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. PT are guaranteed an interview invitation.
How it works
Study on your schedule. Draft, submit for review, and revise with specific notes from an instructor.
Open a video lesson or written guide any time. Each one covers a part of the application your student is working on now.
Write a response, then submit it for review. Each response submitted for review uses one feedback credit.
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 feedback on your Harvard-Westlake Student Questionnaire answers. 6 instructor feedback credits, more at $25 each, usually within 7 business days.
