College Application Assistance
Expert guidance, every step of the way
How It Works
For College Application Assistance, you’ll be matched with a dedicated mentor who becomes your personal guide through every stage of the college application process.
Together, you’ll build a clear, step-by-step plan tailored to your goals, deadlines, and dream schools. From the first brainstorming session to the final submission, your mentor will help you set priorities, track progress, and stay motivated.
Regular check-ins provide structured accountability and expert feedback, so you always know exactly what to focus on next.

Why It’s Different
Unlike traditional college counseling, our program pairs you exclusively with mentors who have successfully navigated the process themselves. Every mentor is a recent graduate of a top-tier university or Ivy League school, bringing firsthand knowledge of what it takes to stand out in a competitive applicant pool.
They don’t just understand the theory; they’ve lived it.
That means you’ll get insights, strategies, and guidance rooted in real, proven experience, not generic advice. Your mentor acts as both advisor and project manager, providing personalized support and a level of expertise that sets this program apart.
From crafting authentic essays to preparing for your college interviews, you’ll have someone in your corner who knows exactly what admissions committees look for.

What You’ll Get
You’ll receive comprehensive, one-on-one support for every part of your application journey. That includes guidance on developing your personal statement and supplemental essays, help organizing recommendation letters, and interview preparation to showcase your strengths with confidence.
Your mentor will also equip you with customized tools and reminders to keep all your deadlines, drafts, and materials organized in one place.
Whether you’re applying to one college or twenty, you’ll have a clear path forward and expert advice at your fingertips.
Enrollment
While students can begin College Application Assistance at any point in high school, we recommend enrolling by junior year to ensure ample time for planning, essay development, college visits, and application strategy.
Many students start earlier to build a strong academic and extracurricular foundation with their mentor’s guidance. Programs typically run on a yearly commitment, and students often continue working with their mentor through senior year to stay organized, meet deadlines, and submit polished applications with confidence.
