Why $360/mo instead of $5,000+ for traditional counseling?

Frequently asked questions

How are mentors selected for my child?

We match your child based on their dream school, personal interests, and location. Every mentor attends or was accepted to their target university.

What if we're not happy with the match?

No worries! We'll rematch your child with a different mentor at no extra cost. Your family's satisfaction is our priority.

How often does my child meet with their mentor?

Your child gets 4 calls per week with their mentor, plus unlimited async messaging in between. Our administrative team is also available to support you throughout.

A lot! Our team provides administrative support throughout the entire process. We share internship and research resources, group students together for passion projects, and your child has free range to ask any of our mentors questions at any time — not just their assigned one.
