Twelve live, one-to-one sessions with a current undergraduate at a top US university — on either of two programs. Here is what each costs, what need-based aid does to that number, every session it buys, and the handful of things we will not do for you. Read it, then decide.
Both programs, side by side. Nothing on this table changes depending on which mentor you're matched with — Sterling sets the price, not the mentor.
Introductory pricing applies to the current cohort and returns to the standard rate once these places are filled.
Aid halves the standard tuition on both programs. It's judged on need and circumstance together — there's no separate form and no income calculator. Say so in your application, and it's read as part of the same application, never weighed when we decide whether to offer you a place.
Need more than half off? Write to us and say so. We hold back a number of places at this rate every cycle, and cost genuinely shouldn't decide who learns this — that's also why there's a 14-day refund from your first session, no questions asked, if it turns out not to be what you needed.
Twelve live sessions per program, each with a plan behind it. Switch programs to see the other one.
The programs are built to teach you the process, not to hand you the outcome. Six things we will not do, whoever asks.
We'll read it, mark it, and make you rewrite it. That's the job.
Nobody can. Be careful with anyone who says otherwise.
It reads badly, and it isn't our place.
Those belong with your university's international student office or a licensed professional.
One is in production. Until it exists, we're not going to charge for it.
We can't, and we won't pretend otherwise. We can tell when an essay sounds like nobody.
