Frequently Asked Questions

AdmitMate is a coaching platform designed to help motivated students achieve their college
goals. We offer personalized mentorship from Ivy+ admits in your field of interest, offering you
unparalleled insights on what it takes to be admitted into your dream school in your major.

We offer two programs, the Peer Mentorship Program and the Senior Kickstart Program.
The Peer Mentorship Program is designed for non-seniors and is focused on discovering
students’ subfield specializations within their major, and building a standout portfolio
surrounding this specialization.

The Senior Kickstart Program is designed for students in 12th grade and provides detailed
guidance with their college application and comprehensive support making the transition from
college to high school.

  1. Submit your application, which tells us your passions and academic interests
  2. The AdmitMate admissions team matches you with the best-fit mentor from our database of over 100 college students. You will receive an email with details of your chosen mentor (university, extracurriculars, resume, etc) as well as potential times for your free initial consultation
  3. Schedule your initial consultation to meet your mentor face-to-face and evaluate compatibility
  4. Complete paperwork and tuition, receive your resources and logistic details, and begin your journey!

Although it is hard to definitively answer due to the variety of extracurriculars and backgrounds, students in our Peer Mentorship Program generally add 2-3 new passion projects to their applications as well as 2-4 lower-maintenance projects. Students also tend to see a dramatic change in their current extracurriculars

Due to the extensive mentor matching process, AdmitMate does not generally offer refunds after the second meeting. However, students can request a partial refund (80% return) within 24 hours of the first meeting. In order to request a partial refund, the first meeting must take place within 30 days of purchasing the program. If a student’s mentor violates any of the services, student is eligible for a partial refund proportional to meetings left.

That’s the beauty of AdmitMate; you don’t need to come in with any extracurriculars! You’ll collaborate with your mentor to create a diverse extracurricular portfolio in your first year!

Yes! Our programs are cumulative, so we encourage working with us in consecutive years. In
fact, we have many students who have worked with us all throughout high school. We also generally tend to hire students who’ve completed the Senior Kickstart Program as mentors to share their experiences with the next generation!

We suggest 8th-11th grade as the age range for the Peer Mentorship Program. However, if a
younger student wishes to apply for the program, we welcome it.

AdmitMate accepts students on a rolling basis, meaning your application gets evaluated as soon as you submit it. Since the programs are aligned with the academic year and complete on June 15th, we recommend submitting your application by December 1st to ensure you have enough time to build your profile. For any specific questions, please email admissions@admitmate.org

The tuition for the Peer Mentorship Program is $2500.

The tuition for the Senior Kickstart Program is $5000.

AdmitMate welcomes students from all backgrounds and experiences, so we do not abide by a strict acceptance rate. We don’t ask for your GPA or transcripts in the applications; instead we look at your willingness to learn from your mentor and grow!
