01 · Your counselor

A counselor matched to where you’re going.

Tell us your target schools, your major and your timeline. We pair you with a counselor who has taken students exactly there, and the two of you work in one private terminal: they see the list and every essay as it stands today, leave a note on the exact line, and assign a task that lands on your calendar. Nothing is emailed, attached or retyped.

How pairing works.

Three steps, and the first two take an afternoon.

01

Tell us where you’re aiming

Your target schools, your intended major, your year and how much of the application is already done. Ten minutes, in the terminal.

02

Meet your counselor

We pair you with one counselor whose students have gone where you want to go. You meet, you agree the plan, and it goes on your calendar.

03

Work in one place

From then on the two of you share the terminal. Every list change, draft and deadline is there for both of you, with no email chain to keep up.

Already have one? Two more ways in.

01

Your school’s counseling office

Enter your school’s join code at signup and your counselor sees your terminal from theirs: the whole roster on one console, your row on it. They see prompts and status, never your essay text, unless you share a draft.

How schools set up

02

A counselor or mentor you invite

A private counselor, a teacher, a parent or an older sibling. You send one link; they sign in and see the rooms you opened, with a view or comment role you can change or revoke in a click. They do see drafts. That is the point.

How invites work

What they can do

Notes on the line. Tasks on the calendar.

Assign a task

With a due date, a priority and a link into the room it belongs to. It appears at the top of your dashboard and on your calendar, and it prices itself in readiness.

Leave a note

Pinned to the paragraph it is about, where it stays through every revision. Only you can resolve it.

Reply in a thread

One conversation per student, kept with the work, so nothing is lost in an inbox.

Watch the score

The readiness number, its history and the open risks, so a September problem is caught in September.

From your counselor

Ms. Okafor · Lincoln High School

Ask Mr. Delgado for your second letter

Due Oct 15

Northwestern ED wants two. You have one in. Ask this week so he has a month.

Opens: Rec letters · worth +6 on readiness

Note on “Why Northwestern?” · paragraph 2

“…the Medill program, its reputation, and the opportunities it would give me.”

This is the sentence every applicant writes. Name the one course, one professor or one thing Medill made that you have actually read.

Got it. Rewriting with the Knight Lab piece I read in June. Draft by Friday.

School counselors see status and prompts, never the essay text, unless the student shares it.

The going rate for a private counselor is $4,000-$10,000, and they work from a forwarded PDF. Yours works in the terminal.

Get matched this week.

Tell us where you’re aiming, meet your counselor, and the first note lands on the line.
