Wu said that increasing the number of institutions represented on College Confidant will allow for better match-ups between confidants and high school students who use the Web site.
College Confidant also operates a related blog featuring posts on topics such as admissions essays, sculpting applications, and college life.
College Confidant connects teenagers going through the college admissions process with college students from their college of interest, or with whom they share similar interests or backgrounds. It also provides admissions and application advice.
Co-founder Toor said that College Confidant was particularly valuable because high school students are receiving advice from those who have recently gone through the college application process themselves.
Confidants typically charge $10 to $20 per hour. The founders cited the low price as an important difference between College Confidant and other college counseling services, which can charge up to $2000.
