Why Alongside

Advice from someone who’s been there.

Mentors are college students and graduates who went through applications themselves, so their advice is real and specific.

Answer a few quick questions and every mentor shows how well they fit your major, dream schools and goals.

Sessions happen on Alongside, mentors agree to a code of conduct, and parents get a copy of every booking email for students under 18.

No subscriptions. Pay per session. See the full price first, and nothing is paid until after the session, so cancelling is free.

Less overwhelm. More direction.

Step 1: Answer a few quick questions
Two minutes, one question at a time. Then you see mentors ranked by how well they fit you, with their path and their rate.
Step 2: Book a free 10-minute intro call
Meet a mentor for 10 minutes and see if they’re a good fit. It’s free, with no commitment.
Step 3: Book your 60-minute session
Pick a time that fits. You see the full price before you book, and there’s nothing to subscribe to.
Step 4: Meet in Alongside’s private video room
Nothing to download. The room opens from your home page 5 minutes before the start, on a phone or a laptop.
Step 5: Pay your mentor after the session
During our pilot you pay your mentor directly (Venmo or Zelle) once the session is done. Alongside charges nothing.
