Admit.me

Assists students with college selection and admission process

Overview

Admit.me is an online social network community designed to connect and help high school and higher education students during the admission and selection process for universities and employment. In addition to connecting students, Admit.me also connects alumni, counselors, admission experts, students and parents to share information and provide advice. Admit.me is still in beta as of October 26th, 2015, and is free to use.

APPROACH

Students begin by customizing their profile, adding accomplishments, target schools, career missions, and other academic or extracurricular achievements among others. Students then can connect with others, posting questions on message boards based on interest or university/employment level or by searching and directly contacting others. These discussion boards and direct contacts typically contain useful tools relating to the admission process for a desired university. Students can also organize their contacts, and create a schedule with admission deadlines, interview dates, etc. Finally, students can upload documents relating to their applications. These documents can be shared with contacts for feedback.

IMPLEMENTATION

Admit.me is browser-based and requires an internet connection to use.

PRICING

Admit.me is free to use and offers in-app upgrades and content for purchase. Admit.me is also developing a premium version which will require payment.

WHO IS USING IT

Admit.me is used by about 1,000 users as of Summer 2015.
