Our Story
CollegeAppli was born from a simple observation: too many brilliant students were missing out on opportunities because they lacked access to quality college counseling.
Our founder, Sarah Johnson, spent over 15 years as a Harvard admissions officer and witnessed firsthand how the right guidance could transform a student's trajectory. She saw talented students from underserved communities struggle with the complex college application process, while others with resources thrived.
In 2020, during the global pandemic, Sarah realized that technology could be the great equalizer. She assembled a team of education experts, former admissions officers, and technology innovators to create a platform that would democratize access to world-class college counseling.
Today, CollegeAppli connects students from over 50 countries with expert counselors who have helped thousands of students gain admission to top universities worldwide. Our platform has facilitated over $100 million in scholarship awards and continues to grow every day.
