Our Mentors

Squired connects students applying to selective universities with mentors who have been through the process themselves for help with university selection, planning, and applications. Our mentors attend top universities and programs including Stanford, Harvard, MIT and dozens of others. and offer guidance and mentoring on some of the most important decisions in students’ lives.

The vastly different and rapidly changing requirements of individual majors are our mentors’ specialty. With Mentors currently enrolled in more than 30 different programs, our students have access to up-to-date, first-hand information about their preferred programs, from Computer Science to Visual Arts.

What our students are saying

My mentor helped me bring out my passions in a way that stood out to the admissions committees and brought together my whole application. The video session gave me a chance to ask questions and get a deeper understanding of how to improve my essay that went beyond simple editing.

It was a great experience for me! Eesha went through the application process with thorough consideration of the stage I am at right now. Getting advice from Eesha was very helpful. She addressed parts of the application I was unclear about such as the letters of recommendation, and gave in-depth feedback on my application plans and how to relate my interests to the application.
