About Us
We're on a mission to make the college application process more accessible, transparent, and successful for students worldwide.
Our Story
Founded in 2018 by a team of former college admissions officers and education technology experts, our platform was built to address the challenges and inequities in the college application process.
We recognized that many students lacked access to quality guidance, organization tools, and community support during this critical time in their lives. Our founder, Jessica Chen, experienced these challenges firsthand as a first-generation college student.
Today, we've helped over 250,000 students navigate their college journeys successfully, with a focus on expanding access to resources for underrepresented and underserved communities.
Our Mission & Values
Accessibility
We believe quality college guidance should be available to all students, regardless of background or resources. Our platform offers free tools and resources to make that possible.
Transparency
The college application process should be clear and understandable. We demystify requirements, provide honest insights, and help students make informed decisions.
Community
We foster a supportive environment where students can learn from peers, mentors, and experts. Together, we navigate the challenges of college admissions more effectively.
