College Application Support
Your college application should tell your story.
Connect 101 helps students approach the college application process with greater clarity, organization, and confidence, from the first application to the final submission.
Get Started →Why Application Support?
A strong application is more than a completed form.
College applications require students to make important decisions about how they present their experiences, goals, accomplishments, and interests. Connect 101 helps students understand the process and approach each part of the application thoughtfully.

Activities
What experiences matter?
Help students organize activities, leadership experiences, community involvement, work experience, and other meaningful accomplishments.
Recommendations
Who can speak for the student?
Help students identify appropriate recommenders and prepare information that can help recommenders understand their goals and accomplishments.

Organize application deadlines, required materials, testing, recommendations, essays, and other important milestones.

College Application Support
The Goal
Authenticity, not perfection.
Connect 101 does not write a student's story for them or guarantee admission to a college. Instead, we help students identify what they want to communicate and present their experiences in a clear, organized, and authentic way.
How It Works

02

Organize the student's experiences, goals, essays, activities, and supporting materials.
03
