Mentors are international students who are currently enrolled in an American university and are willing to share their experiences regarding the college admissions process. Independent Educational Consultants, on the other hand, are more experienced who hold educational consulting experience, carrer coaching, etc and are willing to support our students with their services.
The admission season lasts about a year, beginning in early June and ending late next May.
Mentorship services are available to any high school student, but are mostly targeted towards international students who undergo the immigration process, visa preparations, international standardized testing, and more.
