How it works

Built for life-long relationships

Each Ascensia student is matched with an advisor who attended or currently attends one of their target universities. The match is based on school, academic field, and where you're applying from, so the person you're talking to has actually navigated something close to what you're navigating.

Advisors hold biweekly sessions with matched students, review essays, share their own materials where relevant, and are available asynchronously throughout the application cycle.
