Who We Are
Our Mentors are carefully selected, not just for their exposure and industry knowledge, but also for their ability to interact with young adults as guides, teachers, and coaches. Much like a student requires a college that is a perfect fit for him or her, we at Collegify ensure that the assigned Mentor is a perfect fit for the student. A secondary Mentor is available to provide students with a wider perspective, but the primary Mentor is the single point of contact for ease of access and coordination.
Our Track Record
Since 2011, our team has placed students at Harvard, Yale, Brown, UPenn, UC Berkeley, CMU, Northwestern, Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell, Stanford, MIT, Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore, Pomona, UChicago, Duke, Berkeley, Oxford, LSE, NUS, HKUST amongst others. A significant number of our students have been offered financial aid and other scholarships. Our students consistently outperform their expectations in the quality of their final admits.
Mentoring Services
College Applications assess every aspect of a student’s profile— not just academic achievements and projects, but leadership experience, social awareness, community engagement activities and passion driven projects, to gauge a student’s potential to contribute to the college. While some students are academically inclined, others demonstrate aptitude for a sport or talent that sets them apart from their peers. Our objective is to develop your profile holistically by highlighting and developing your strengths. Collegify Mentors work with students individually to ensure that you find a spot in an institution where you can experience the best of overseas education.
