Project Description

Mentors on the platform receive competitive compensation to provide their honest feedback regarding college admission essays, the chances of an applicant being accepted, and any other aspect of the college which they attend to prospective applicants. Applicants could obtain uncensored and honest information about the colleges to which they were applying to at a fraction of the cost, at a time of their choosing.
