Working with a coach was really life-changing for me. My counselor helped me explore my interest in entrepreneurship and get into MIT’s Launch X program (>10% acceptance rate). This helped me launch my startup in my senior year of high school. I struggled in keeping up with all my tasks but the trackers helped me to see my progress and know where I needed extra support. I also have a better understanding of what I want to do in college and who I want to become in the future.
I started working with Digo when I was overwhelmed by the volume of essays I was required to write; I found it difficult to convey a concise and specific story about myself. They helped with managing a weekly workload, giving me enough time to perfect and submit each essay. With Digo’s help, I was admitted into McGill, University of Toronto, Boston College, Northeasten and many more. One thing I liked about working with my counselor was their calm and understanding approach.
I got into University of Miami but decided to go to UCL in London to study business. Thank you once again, for helping me discover myself and learn how to present myself to universities. These skills that I have learnt from you will keep on helping me in different stages of life.
