James S

Student from Australia

My tutor on GradPal stayed up late for essay drills and mock interviews - as an Australian applicant everything was so different. When the email came from Cornell, I laughed so hard I nearly fell out of my chair. Really cannot recommend the network enough.

ER

Emily R

Student from USA

SAT math froze me every time. My tutor on GradPal got me into the 1500s. Also pulled a 5 on AP Bio and a 4 in AP Chem after some help from a BU student. Very proud to be heading to Uchicago next year!

WZ

Wei Z

Student from China

From Beijing, U.S. schools felt out of reach. After going beyond the platform for the VIP services I had two tutors committed to helping me design and implement a major project, and they were able to help me understand the system (thank goodness no GaoKao). Very excited to now be a Columbia undergrad.

OH

Oliver H

Student from UK

From the UK, I didn't think Penn was realistic. My tutor on GradPal raised my SAT 250 points and polished essays. I'm off to Penn - cheers to GradPal's team!

PK

Priya K

Student from India

I thought Harvard was for "other" kids. I decided to go for one of their more intensive support arrangements and had a team available to support me. Seriously couldn't be more grateful.

JD

Julien D

Student from France

I ran a music fundraiser in Paris. My tutor on GradPal helped me realize that it wasn't the concert that mattered and refocused the essays on the impact our fundraiser had. Penn went for it. Merci GradPal!

MT

Michael T

Student from USA

First mock interview? Total flop. GradPal's team drilled me until I could talk about my coding projects like a human. After 5's in AP Gov and AP Chinese I'm heading to Duke. Couldn't be more grateful.

KA

Kwame A

Student from Ghana

From Ghana, I thought U.S. schools weren't for me. GradPal's team boosted my SAT 280 points. Looks like I'm off to Rice. Pumped for what's next, thank you!

Li X

Student from China

English isn't my first language. My tutor on GradPal made it my strength in a story about finding my voice. SAT rose 300 points and they helped me with a research project in Thailand (they have networks everywhere!) UCLA took me in. Excited to start this new chapter!

AB

Ashley B

Student from USA

Legit cried over my SATs until my tutor on GradPal helped me jump 300 points. Berkeley came through. Huge thank you to GradPal's team.

CO

Chinedu O

Student from Nigeria

From Nigeria, applying abroad felt overwhelming. Ah they were great - On the GradPal platform I found tutors who fixed my SAT and helped highlight debate club and my medical volunteerwork. Hopkins took me in. Thanks GradPal's team!

AM

Ananya M

Student from India

Bombed my first SAT in India. GradPal's team built me back and convinced me to do my senior year at one of the international schools. Raised my score 300 points and now heading to Brown University. Thank you GradPal!

MB

Mathieu B

Student from France

Princeton was my stretch. Like, super stretch. GradPal's tutors pushed me to clarify research and tutoring I did with my team. Looks like Princeton is going to happen. Merci GradPal!

CL

Christopher L

Student from USA

My tutor on GradPal said my food pantry volunteering could be more than "hours." We shaped it into a project where I was on the ground working with immigrant families, and this really resonated with Northwestern.

Wanjiku K

Student from Kenya

From Kenya, Duke felt impossible. After already securing acceptance to Strathmore last year I wasn't going to apply but GradPal's tutor encouraged me and GradPal's VIP services built some connections to Kenyan alumni who could speak on my behalf. Heading to Duke in the fall!

CY

Chen Y

Student from China

Coding was just my hobby. GradPal's team pushed me to build a tutoring app for kids and write about it. MIT actually went for it. Huge thanks to GradPal's tutors - real value in having MIT students help you apply to MIT!

JM

Jessica M

Student from USA

First draft sounded like Wikipedia. My first tutor wasn't great but I found a great CalTech tutor who helped me get my ideas across. By draft six it worked. Columbia said yes. Thank you GradPal!

VD

Vikram D

Student from India

Pulled 5's in AP Calc and Physics with GradPal's tutors. Essays finally felt real and UCLA agreed. Excited to start soon!

AC

Amelia C

Student from USA

Thought my essays were boring. My tutor on GradPal pulled stories out of me I didn't think mattered. Georgetown gave me the nod. Thank you for believing in me.

ML

Mei L

Student from China

From Shanghai, Stanford felt untouchable and with the political climate I almost didn't apply. With GradPal's tutors I pulled 5's in AP Bio and Latin and was able to have two sets of eyes on my essays. Thank you GradPal (Stanford '29).

GP

George P

Student from USA

Numbers were my thing, writing wasn't. GradPal's team balanced it. Pulled 5's in AP Calc BC and Physics C and also AP Lang and Lit. Huge thanks to my tutors on GradPal and looking forward to applying next year.

Student from China

I suck at chemistry and was really discouraged, but I was able to find a BU Chemistry major who stuck with me and helped me boost my grades. Ended up loving Chemistry and getting into Johns Hopkins!

Harry K

Student from USA

First ACT? Total disaster. My tutor on GradPal kept grinding with me. Score jumped from 27 to 35 after two months and now headed to Berkeley. Thanks GradPal!

JQ

Student from China

Helping at a senior center didn't seem like much. My tutor on GradPal showed me helping at a senior center mattered even though it didn't seem like much to me and Georgetown agreed. Thanks GradPal!

SJ

Sophia J

Student from USA

HARVARD!!! My tutor on GradPal told me my weekend job mattered (lab assistant at an aquarium). We turned it into an essay about me and the main octopus attraction. When the email came, I ran laps around the house. Best moment ever - can't wait to beat Yale!

AS

Arjun S

Student from USA

Every practice test = panic. My tutor on GradPal rebuilt me step by step and showed me statistics and calculus much better than my teachers did. 1:1 sessions and the ability to ask questions directly makes a huge difference!

RN

Ravi N

Student from USA

Our robotics club was duct tape and chaos. My tutor on GradPal said, "That's your hook." We wrote it up and I got accepted at CMU - really glad I had experienced eyes to review my work.

UCLA felt like a dream. My tutors on GradPal rebuilt my SAT and essays. Now I'm heading to UCLA. Thanks GradPal!

Volunteering at a dog shelter was just after school fun. My tutor on GradPal spun it into a story that spoke directly to the Dartmouth admissions team.

AP Physics = nightmare. Pulled a 5 though. AP CS? A 4, still proud. My tutor on GradPal kept me going and convinced me to pivot towards the tech heavy schools - currently loving Caltech.

AN

Aline N

Student from USA

Called it "helping kids play basketball in my neighborhood." GradPal's team reframed it and expanded it into a multi-community initiative that put me onto Vanderbilt's radar. Excited to use GradPal next year when I apply!
