What parents preparing for US college admissions often tell us in consultations

When should we start?

The moment 11th grade begins,
there is suddenly too much to do

SATAPEssaysResearch workCommunity Service

Finding new major-related activities at that point takes time you do not have,
and it is not easy to find the right opportunity for a student.

That is why a major internship should start early, in 9th or 10th grade.

Is it just one more line on an application?

An internship is not just one more line on an application

It is not an experience for adding one more line to the Common App activities section. It is a chance to see how a field actually works in practice before studying that major in college.

I am interested in business.I want to major in computer science.I want to study psychology.I am curious about design or data.

Many students say this. But what that interest turns into in a real workplace, and whether it is really the right fit, is hard to know until you experience it yourself.

Is your child's field of interest here?

Choosing a major, earlier and more realistically

Business

Learn how a startup reads its market, finds customer problems, and builds products and services.

Computer Science

Experience how technology connects to real services and real problem solving.

Marketing

Learn how a brand understands its customers and designs content and campaigns.

Data

See how numbers and records are actually used in real decisions.

DesignEducationHealthcarePsychology

It is an experience that makes a student think earlier about what to learn next, what skills to build, and which direction to grow their field of interest in.

Does this really help with admissions?

US colleges look at whether you turned
that interest into real action

Simply saying "I am interested" is different from learning in the field yourself, joining a project, and leaving that experience on your activity record. An internship can be listed as an off campus activity in the Common App activities section.

The opportunity we offer is not one line to write on an application. It is an experience that can hold, inside that one line, what you learned, who you talked with, and which direction you want to grow in.
Is it just coffee runs and busywork?

This is not an internship that only fills time

Coffee runsSimple document sortingLeaving the student on their own

The founder and the working team at each company design the 4 week curriculum themselves, so even a high schooler with no work experience can follow along comfortably.

You work on real company problems and projects together with the founder

Will my child be able to keep up?
"My child has no real work experience yet. Is this still okay?"
"Can a high schooler really keep up with an internship at an actual company?"
"My child has not decided on a major yet. Can they still take part?"

It is okay

This is not about handing a high schooler an internship built for college students or working professionals. It is an online internship by field, designed from the start to fit a high schooler's level. If you want to experience a field you are curious about firsthand, that is enough to get started.

Is this only possible during vacation?

It works during the semester too, after school

100% onlineTwice a week2 hours a session4 weeks in total
During the semesterTwice a week after school, finishing the internship early

You can take part no matter where you live.

VacationTime goes to the preparation that needs deep focus

SAT, AP, essays, research and everything else that needs full immersion.

Students who prepare ahead can use their admissions preparation time far more efficiently.

What is left when it ends?

It does not end at "I took part"

Certificate of Completion

It is provided once the 4 week internship is finished.

Requesting a recommendation letter

Students who take part actively can ask the company's founder to write a recommendation letter. Whether one is provided depends on the student's level of participation and the company's judgment.

What is left is an experience a student can explain: which field they became interested in, what they learned and felt, and which direction they want to grow in from here.

4 weeks, with 2 sessions per week, 2 hours per session. Every session is real-time, remote online, collaboration with the founder of the company.

All internships are fully remote, so anyone in the world can join. Every session is conducted online in real-time with the founder.

Every internship is unique with real-world tasks provided by the founder. Students produce tangible deliverables, from product proposals to final presentations in front of founders. Some proposals actually turn into real products that reach customers. Students can list this as internship experience on their college applications.

Although not guaranteed, a majority of previous interns have received a recommendation letter from the founder. This is possible because each internship session runs with a very small, intimate group, giving founders the chance to interact with students in depth and provide insightful recommendation letters.
