Join the top 1% of student leaders helping high schoolers navigate their future. College Contact is a fast-growing, award-winning startup revolutionizing college and career advising for high school students and their families. We started as a viral TikTok initiative helping students with their college essays and quickly grew into a nationwide network of relatable, high-achieving undergraduate coaches.
