"Meeting with my Advising Fellow was a wonderful experience. He helped explore areas of interest with regard to clubs, sports, and all extracurriculars. He also helped me develop an extremely solid college list and develop my college essay. Meeting with them weekly was always a blast! It was a great time to relax and hang out with someone new, even if it was online. It was also a great way to constantly remind me to stay proactive with my college work because he would always help me encourage me to stay on top of my work."

"Matriculate was incredibly helpful in my college application process. My Advising Fellow was extremely helpful as he provided lots of advice as I was navigating the college application process and writing essays. Not only was he an exceptional mentor, he was also a great friend who provided advice whether it was related or not related to my college application process!" Renny, University of Pennsylvania '28 #CollegeBound #ClassOf2024

"The most meaningful moment I had with my college Advising Fellow was after decision days. I was rejected from most of my top college choices but Brian uplifted me like no other and assured me that I was on the right path. He then guided me to the college that best fit my personality and career goals." Javir, UC Berkeley '28 #CollegeBound #ClassOf2024
