What Veterans Say About S2S

"The VetLink Addendum was the biggest benefit to using S2S during my application process. Essay prompts generally aren't written with the expectation that applicants have served in the military. Being given the opportunity to write specifically about my service helped me put my best foot forward."
Ichiro Tomaszewski · Brown University 2028

"S2S provided me with an excellent mentor who guided me through the rigorous application process. We conducted mock interviews together, and he played a crucial role in enhancing my personal statement to effectively highlight my military service."
Karyna Bravo · Stanford School of Medicine 2026

"Assistance in selecting a school that was right for me. It is easier to know what is important to you when you discuss it with someone else. Having someone to help edit the essays was a big help too, especially since I was in the middle of a difficult semester."
Dylan Felix · Johns Hopkins University 2026

"S2S helped me in two ways. First, it connected me with the mentors and experts I needed to succeed. Second, through the VetLink Addendum, it gave me a way to communicate my military experience to MIT admissions. The peer-to-peer mentorship I received through S2S helped me light the path I hoped to walk. My mentor's guidance informed how I approached everything from my application to on-campus housing. Her experience and advice smoothed the learning curve substantially."
Justin Cole · MIT 2028

"The most significant benefit of using S2S during my application process was the invaluable support and guidance provided by my ambassador. His confidence in my application and firsthand knowledge of the university I aspired to attend were truly instrumental. Having an ambassador who was a current student at the university gave me a unique perspective and an inside look into what Yale had to offer. This insider's view not only boosted my confidence but also allowed me to craft an application that stood out by highlighting aspects of the university that resonated with my goals and aspirations."
Patrick McGrath · Yale University

"The difference in my essays and others aspects of my application was very noticeable after a few rounds of feedback with my ambassador. I would absolutely recommend any veteran pursuing college after there time in the military reach out to S2S and get linked up with an ambassador."

"My S2S's wise insight and advice for the overall MBA application process was essential to my journey and finding success in the MBA application cycles. Conversations with Alyssa kept me focused, motivated, and on a timeline to achieve great final products for all my essays and portal responses with her prompt assistance and guidance for where I should start. Alyssa's help and feedback iterations were always faster, more thorough, and more prompt than I could have ever expected."
Kayla Walsh · Harvard Business School 2026
