Hello,

I just wanted to add to this post. I was actually a mentee for the project this past year, and it was really a wonderful experience. My mentor was extremely helpful, and refused to give up on me, even when I was really dismal in the college process. She proofread my essays at all hours, called me every week to check up, and always made me feel like regardless of the decisions, I did my best and there was nothing else I could have done. Truthfully, if you apply to schools like Stanford and Harvard and etc you’re already a highly motivated individual, but sometimes it’s really nice to have that extra push to keep going. It’s a great program and anyone who has the chance to apply should definitely do so!
