Gain peer-to-peer insights

Research has shown the importance of having near-peer support from students who’ve been in your shoes. They can provide valuable insights on the first-year experience—particularly for first-generation college students. What will classrooms look like? How do you navigate college given your special interests? How do you connect with faculty members or research leads?

In addition to our team of experienced college counselors, we have a network of current students at various elite institutions connecting with our students to share their experiences and the resources that helped them navigate college successfully. Our peer advisors come from both undergraduate and graduate programs across the country: Engineering at UC Berkeley, Philosophy at Yale, PhD in Neuroscience at Harvard, Health sciences at UCLA, Mathematics at Stanford, Business at Lehigh—you name it!

A young man with black hair, wearing glasses, and a black T-shirt with a colorful graphic design, is sitting outdoors at a wooden table, writing on a piece of paper with a black pen. He has tattoos on his left forearm and is focused on his writing. There are buildings and a colorful background visible outside.
