Our Philosophy
PORTICO was built on a very simple idea: modern-day college consulting is dead.
Students waste their time and money on overpriced and ineffective programs. They get essays written by someone else, fake internships from shady companies, leadership roles in clubs they have no interest in.
And eventually, they end up creating the cookie-cutter applications they sought to avoid in the first place.
The library of college apps, at your fingertips: weekly webinars to expert-written guides to hundreds of leaked college essays, covering everything you could possibly need. Everything compiled and curated, just for you.
1-on-1 concierge consulting sessions every month from your personal, trained Ivy League and Oxbridge mentors. Get tailored advice and application help from those who have walked the walk and are now ready to talk the talk.
Get insider knowledge, admissions hacks, memes, and motivation from fellow students (and even AOs) through our online community. Celebrate milestones and grow your network with others, because you aren't in this journey alone.
