FAQs

  • From April to September, we will cover every aspect of the college admissions process, from finding the right schools to actually submitting applications. By the end of September, students should know which schools they are applying to and have the bulk of their applications finished.

    Contact a mentor if you would like to learn more about the program!

  • We offer college counseling, Office Hours, personalized info sessions, and group discussions, all of which are tailored to the specific needs of the students within the group. We will cover a wide range of topics, including college research, financial aid, standardized tests, college essays, and more.

    Counseling will consist of a preliminary assessment of where students are in the process and regular meetings guiding the group through college admissions.

    Office Hours, held weekly, are a chance for Cohort mentees to ask any question in an open forum. Students will have guaranteed, live access to their mentor on a weekly basis.

    Personalized info sessions will be curated content dependent on what the group wants to learn about. Whether it’s how to craft an essay or how to choose a major, students will emerge from the sessions well-informed and well-prepared.

    Mentors also facilitate group discussions to talk about pressing issues, like navigating high school, worries for college, or anything else!

  • There will be 2 hours of live programming each month. Office Hours are completely optional and are meant to be an added resource should students want to take advantage.

  • If you are a high school junior or a parent of one, you should apply to get free, personalized college counseling. We are looking for driven, self-motivated high schoolers excited to make the most of their college experience!

  • You should contact our Spring 2023 Cohort mentor, Kian. You can schedule time to speak with him here.
