Summer Applications
Competitive summer programs often offer students a chance to deepen their skills and knowledge, giving them a head start in their field of interest. These programs can also help students stand out to college admissions readers by demonstrating their commitment and initiative! However, the application process can be highly selective, requiring careful planning, strong recommendations, and tailored essays. Success Koach offers personalized summer applications advising to guide students through the process and increase their chances of admission to top programs.

Research Mentorship

One of Success Koach's most unique offerings is our research mentorship program, designed to help students pursue original research projects early, giving them an edge over their peers. Many students don't have the opportunity to do original research until well into college; most students wouldn't even know where to start. We have mentors across numerous disciplines who can help students pursue approachable beginner research work. Whether that project is a policy paper or a regression analysis, we aim to build out students' research skills and help them produce tangible work that can help open doors for college admissions, internships, or further opportunities in academia.
​
Summer is a critical time for research work, as it allows students a rare uninterrupted block of time to pursue research—either under the mentorship of one of our research advisors, or through a competitive summer research incubator. Whatever your preference or your vocation, we're here to help you find the right fit.
