What Veterans Say About S2S

"Perhaps the most important advice I can share is to first and foremost not undersell yourself or what you're capable of doing, regardless of your backstory. Use your unique experiences and distill them into a meaningful narrative that captures who you are and what you'd like to accomplish and why the particular institution you're interested in aligns with those goals."

Jeff Skeen - Brown University 2026
"The biggest benefit to S2S was having someone help me write the essays. My admission means I can receive a rigorous liberal arts education that will give me the tools to succeed in Law School and for me to better enhance my ability to make this world a better place."

Isaiah Stewart - Pomona College 2025
“It has always been something that I had wanted to do in the future. S2S and WSP gave me the courage to dream big now and give it my best shot.“

Juan Vasquez Ninco - Williams College 2025
"My mentor took my writing to the next level and helped me so much throughout the application process. Peer-to-peer mentorship was an immense help, I would recommend it to anyone looking to transition from the military to college."

Sean Braga - Brown University 2025
"I'm incredibly grateful for the network and resources provided by S2S along my law school application journey. As a parent making a transition to a new career in my 30s, it was reassuring to have a S2S mentor and network that had made the same journey to lean on for support and advice. I am constantly singing the praises of S2S to anyone in uniform who is contemplating returning to school after service."

Darby Yeager - Georgetown University Law School 2025
"I found peer-to-peer mentorship beneficial in that it inspired me to find my voice and emphasized my story was worth telling and that I have the voice to share it effectively. You have a fantastic story to tell, and there is an audience that is excited to hear it!"

Kyle Lechner - University of Chicago 2026
"Peer-to-peer mentorship offers veterans a chance to converse with someone who has gone through and understands the application process and can help translate one's military story to an academic audience.

Matthew Malkin - Harvard University 2026
"My S2S JD Ambassador went above and beyond for me. He was an invaluable resource throughout the entire process. He helped me study for the LSAT and prepare my applications. He made himself available to a degree that I could not believe."

Riley Nicholson - University of Virginia School of Law 2025
“My S2S mentor provided me with the blueprint that was paramount to my successful navigation of the admissions process. It was great having someone who understood the difficulty of translating my military experience into language admissions committees could understand. I recommend S2S to every service member who is planning on applying to school!”

Branden McCune - NYU Stern School of Business 2024
"Service to School illustrated the importance of the veteran community looking out for one another and upholding our promise to never leave anybody feeling like they’re alone. Service to School not only provided me with resources, but hope and confidence as well."

Nicholas Filca - University of Michigan 2026
"Peer-to-peer mentorship is important because it is some of the most honest and objective feedback you will get. Surround yourself with peers that will positively influence you. Never stop reaching out to and connecting with other peers. Even if you don't know them, you will be surprised at how willing they are to help."

Blake Bonita - Wharton 2024
"The exposure to the opportunities & the support I received from start to finish, but also from the top of the organization to the ambassador assigned to me, were the biggest benefits of linking up with S2S."

Aaron Rosales - Harvard, 2026
"Honest advice from peer-to-peer mentorship strengthened my application and pushed me to succeed. I would recommend S2S to other veteran students."

Allison Murray - The Wharton School at The University of Pennsylvania
“It has allowed me to see my journey from a different perspective, and to understand better what I must do to be the best version of myself. I absolutely believe that everyone should have a mentor, or be a mentor themself.“

Michael Carroll - University of Arizona 2025
"Dedicate as much time as you can to the application process. It could feel tedious at times, but there’s no greater feeling than working so hard and receiving the acceptance letter you have been waiting for."

Enmanuel Cabrera - Boston College 2023
“Peer-to-peer mentorship helped me understand the higher education process and what is involved in it. I would 100% recommend it as you get first hand accounts from someone that has been through it before from your background.”

Daniel Adomina - Princeton University 2024
“Don’t hesitate and apply to that dream school you’ve been hesitant to apply to! Service to schools has the tools and mentors you need to translate your experiences into amazing applications and work with you in every aspect of making that application stand out. They also have so many great VetLink schools that have taken the time to team up with S2S to accept veterans into their campus!”

Tracy Santos - University of Rhode Island 2024
“My S2S mentor was accepted into UNC-Chapel Hill years before; he had first-hand knowledge to help me navigate the application process by providing lessons learned from his experience, proofread my essays, and provided me with constructive feedback and ample positive encouragement.”

Rebecca Grimesey - University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 2023
