"As a first-generation student, I spent years learning how to navigate the college admissions process and maximize opportunities for success at selective universities. After achieving success in my own application cycle, I am committed to sharing what I’ve learned and helping other students find their own paths to success."

Our Partner
Sara Kaufman
Sara Kaufman is a Charles R. Westgate Scholar at Johns Hopkins University. She created PARSE to share lessons she learned "the hard way" as she applied to colleges in 2023. The website functions as a cornucopia of resources (including more than 180 scholarships), advice, and information students can refer to throughout the college application process. PARSE is the perfect complement to College Bound, as students can use it to guide their journey while receiving personalized support from College Bound's one-on-one mentorship.
