A Few Words From Our Mentors
For many students, applying to college feels like trying to fit into a mold—but it should be about finding the right fit for them. I’m passionate about helping students see the bigger picture, guiding them beyond the stress of stats and essays to discover opportunities that align with their goals and values.
Jaimie, University of Pennsylvania
Having gone through the college application process last year, I know how valuable it is to get advice from current college students — their insights helped me navigate my essays and decisions, especially as an international student with limited support. That’s why I joined MyCollegeDecision — to give back and help other students feel more confident throughout the process.
D****a, University of Pennsylvania
One piece of advice I always give is to think beyond just getting accepted—imagine your daily life at that college. The right school isn’t just about prestige; it’s about where you’ll feel happiest and grow the most.
