The questions parents ask us first.

You might, if you know a current student at the exact school, in the intended major, who applied the way your child will. Most families don’t. Mentors are matched on college, major and experience, not just “goes to college.”

No. Mentors give firsthand student perspective and ongoing peer support. They don’t manage applications, edit essays or advise on admissions strategy, and they work well alongside a counselor who does.

Forums can’t answer your follow-up question, don’t know your student and don’t remember what you asked last time. A mentor does, and the conversation is specific to your family.

Every mentor’s enrollment is verified by school email and student ID and re-confirmed each semester. Their profile lists real details you can check, and all sessions and messages happen on the platform, where parents have visibility and recordings can be requested. We describe our screening exactly as it is and don’t make claims beyond it.

Yes, for a focused decision like comparing two finalists or preparing for a visit. Families who want someone to return to across the year get more from a credit pack.

We don’t promise admissions outcomes and mentors have no influence over them. What you get is perspective, answers, reassurance and a more confident student.
