Students, particularly those at public high schools, are under-resourced when it comes to college admissions assistance. The average student receives just under 38 minutes of college guidance across 4 years, and the average guidance counselor-to-student ratio is 1 to 472. Our mission is to level the increasingly unfair playing field in US college admissions. We do this by 1) helping students navigate the admissions process according to their goals, whether that's gaining acceptance into a very competitive top university or simply finding the best school for them, and 2) employing a near-peer mentorship model to build students who will be successful in life, even beyond admissions. By selectively hiring only the most talented college students and rigorously training them in all aspects of admissions, we've created a network of expert admissions mentors who have recently succeeded in the process themselves. This concept of near-peer mentorship -- students helping students -- has been key to helping our clients become better people, develop unbelievable resumes, gain admission to their dream schools, and manage the college process with minimal stress. And with a fee structure starting at considerably less than our competitors, we are uniquely affordable.
