Frequently Asked Questions
This is for families of high school juniors and seniors on their college application journey, whether you're a student, parent or caregiver.
Are you the parent of a high school sophomore, freshman, or grade school student? We haven’t opened enrollment for your class yet, but you can sign up for our value-packed newsletter here and get access to our free resources for families just like you.
Perfect timing! Our roadmap will guide you through every step, starting right where you are.
College Journey works alongside your school's resources, not in place of them. We complement platforms like Naviance and Scoir while providing additional support, insights, and guidance when your school counselor isn't available.
Alice, our AI guide, combines the latest college admissions data with insights from successful applications to provide personalized, accurate guidance. She's available 24/7 to answer questions, suggest next steps, and help you navigate the process - all while maintaining your privacy and security.
Yes! Many families use College Journey to maximize their work with private consultants. Our AI tools and resources help you make the most of your consultant's time, while our 24/7 availability fills the gaps between sessions.
We take the same precautions and use the same top-of-the-line security with your data that we did with our multi-million-dollar digital healthcare business. Your data is safe with us.
College Journey enhances your school's resources with 24/7 personalized guidance, detailed college insights, and tools most schools can't provide. We don't replace your school's guidance counselor or platforms like Naviance and Scoir: we're in your corner ever step of the way. We can even help you get more out of those platforms and help your guidance counselor be more effective!
No! Alice can help your child investigate their authentic story and help your family understand what makes a compelling essay, but we do not offer essay writing services. Self-awareness and self-expression are key life skills you want your child to develop, and the essay is a "must-do" part of the process. (And if you're still not convinced, college admissions offices can spot AI-generated essays from a mile away.)
Unlike expensive consultants, we provide 24/7 access to AI-powered guidance combined with expert insights from Princeton alumni interviews and successful admissions strategies - all at a fraction of the cost.
