The Timeline
Stage 1: Apply!
Stage 2: Get Paired
In your application, you filled out information about your intended major, personal interests, and more. Our staff will selectively pair you with a mentor who attends a Top-20 College and either shares similar interests or is in pursuit of a career path as yours.
This way, your college application mentorship will be best curated to you as an individual.
Stage 3: Work 1-on-1
Attend weekly workshops that dive deep into specific topics of the college application process including How to Decide Your College List, What is FAFSA?, Tips for Writing Your Supplements and Essays, and more.
One of our main goals is not to write your Personal Statement for you but rather enable you to write an enticing essay and establish a profile that authentically reflects your passions and background.
Stage 4: Holistic Review
Using the insight you gain from workshops and mentorship meetings, you will complete your respective applications.
Our staff will then evaluate them holistically, accounting for GPA, extracurricular activities, supplemental essays, personal statement, etc. to ensure that your profile is cohesive, impactful, and reflective of the best version of you.
Stage 5: Submission
After closely communicating with your mentor and making revisions accordingly, you'll be able to submit your applications well before the respective deadlines.
Celebrate the completion of your college application process and all your achievements. You did it!
After patiently waiting, you'll hear back and be able to join the USNetwork of diverse, hardworking students.
