We get it—college & career prep is too transactional. Between your GPA and test scores, sometimes it seems that your work in (and out) of school only amounts to a set of numbers. And how can anyone expect to discover schools and jobs that are a good fit through standardized, multiple choice "career discovery" quizzes?
Our philosophy at The Mindful Applicant is simple. To create a post-HS plan that works for you, you need to consider all the aspects of yourself that school currently leaves out—your values, passions, strengths, and long-term goals. This means having access to a Purpose Portfolio, a place where you can engage in self-discovery and and embark on the process of determining your “you shaped” hole in the world. (think personal journal meets vision board, packaged in a way that helps adults better support you).

Young people are smart. It doesn't make sense to build a product for students, without students. We'd love to work with you!
