The Problem

Top students struggle against declining UC admission rates.

This has caused fear-driven high school planning and college applications, which has caused…

  • Students to stop listening to parental advice and not achieve their potential
  • Confusion on picking a major for a career bet versus an admissions bet
  • Focusing on weaknesses, not strengths

Start your partnership with a mentor to plan and teach your student school and career skills that will last them a lifetime.

  • Students on a campus field trip at UC Berkeley

    Industry mentorship and field trips to discover and build your edge.

  • A person thinking through their options

    Avoid selective majors while setting up your future with a personalized Major Selection Strategy.

  • A mentor talking with a group of students

    Relatable mentors a text or a meeting away to bring peace to the family.
