Current students as best admission counselors !
We believe that current students as best advisors for any applicant - having gone through the process , they can relate to the applicant better and can offer some insider help. With this mission, we are launching dormconnect.co as a platform to connect current students and applicants. Applicants can schedule dedicated one to one sessions with current students to get tips on preparation, essays or anything they need help with - for the fees as specified by the students.
We are currently in beta release and invite only to limited colleges. We have onboarded few students from INSEAD and inviting INSEAD applicants to participate in beta release.
Please do visit dormconnect.co and register to avail some exciting offers for early joiners.

Cheers,
