Whether you choose Uppaji's AI-powered guidance or Kelly's Stanford insider perspective — you're in the best possible hands.
Uppaji recognized that the traditional college prep process is outdated, overly manual, and lacks personalization. Drawing on his technology background from Intel, Cisco, and Apple, he built GrowMe to integrate AI with human expertise — delivering personalized, data-driven college guidance at a fraction of traditional costs.
Kelly Britt brings an unparalleled insider perspective to college essay coaching. As the Former Head of Admissions at Stanford, she knows exactly what top admissions officers look for the moment they open an essay — and she teaches your student to write one they can't ignore.
In Kelly's bootcamp, students don't just learn to write — they learn to think like the person deciding their fate. Kelly's sessions reveal what admissions officers notice immediately, how to stand out authentically, and the mistakes that silently weaken strong applications.
Pick the experience level that fits your goals and budget.
