Very helpful

I wish I had the opportunity to talk directly to college students who’ve gone through the process when I was in high school. This app does a great job of connecting mentors with students

Great help!

This app is a godsend

Terrible app

I have had this app for less than 10 minutes and I am already having problems. First of all, they don’t have any people from my top choice school making it impossible to ask questions about it. Secondly, they don’t even have my high school so it won’t let me enter it as part of my profile. Thirdly, when it suggests people for you to follow, it doesn’t give you anyone from you’re dream schools, it just give people from the best schools. Overall bad app.

It won’t let me message anyone

Five Stars

The best college app on the store!!

Transfer students?

Would be better if there are transfer students’ community. The very first question of whether you are a high schooler or college student makes me awkward... I mean man, I am a college student who wanted to go to another college.

Fantastic

Well-written and thoughtful answers by people who have already gone through the system! Amazing free service that I hope remains free! The mentors are excellent and always ready to help!

Awesome!

I wish I had access to Hindsight when I was in high school struggling to realize what I wanted out of my college experience and how certain universities weighed certain aspects of the application. I also didn’t have access to the advice and mentorship that is available on Hindsight. As a mentor, I hope to help students get a better understanding of the college experience and offer any insight that I can!

Awesome!

This app provides such a great opportunity for high school students to have the questions answered first hand from those kids experiencing everything that they are curious about! It’s super easy to use and is another platform for students to connect with one another!

Awesome app!

I really wish I had this resource when I was in high school! As a mentor, I love helping aspiring students. Being a first generation college student, I know how hard it can be to get advice. On the app, students can ask questions about the application process, student life at different colleges, classes to take, you name it. Real college students give their genuine advice. For free!

Hindsight!

Hindsight is an amazing app to guide students toward a path to success. Think of it as an informative instagram where you easily get access to thousands of the top students from the best universities in the nation. Do yourself a favor and download this app. You don’t lose anything and you definitely gain so much insight and help from others!

Super helpful!

I recently downloaded this cause I’ve just had so many questions about what to expect for college. It’s so great to hear from people who have been in my shoes and have also been where I want to be. When I post a question, the mentors are quick to reply, and with solid, helpful advice that I can use to my advantage. I really recommend this app for any high schoolers having trouble when it comes to college decisions, preparations, and expectations. One downside I saw was that you can’t select multiple ethnicities, which is unfair for me and others with two or more ethnic backgrounds. Overall, it’s worth the download!!

Fantastic!

I’ve been freaking out so much about college applications but getting to hear real responses and cases of kids who went to the schools I’m looking at calms all those nerves. Would be a 5 Star review but I wish you could private message mentors that haven’t responded to your personal threads because I’ve found some I want to talk to, but I can’t reach out.

Great app! So fun to feel like you’re helping high schoolers achieve their dreams.

10/10

Such a useful app for potential ivy/prestigious college students. Creates great connections with helpful mentors too.

Good app

It works well and the students are great!

Very helpful!

All the answers to any questions about the college process

Great app

As a mentor, I wish I had this app when I was in high school. Functionality of Facebook with information that’s useful. A must-have for prospective college students!

Amazing App

Super helpful and amazing app that allows me as a high school student to not only learn more about the college application process but also gain a diverse set of opinions on college related topics. Talking to mentors from schools im interested is very helpful and I love how I can gain first hand advice from experienced college students!
