Why PeerPath is different
Most platforms connect you to a university's official ambassador — someone briefed to represent the institution. PeerPath is independent, and student-first from the ground up.
Independent, not an ambassador program
Mentors speak for themselves, not for their university's admissions office. You get the version they'd tell a friend.
Before and after admission
Most help stops the day you get in. PeerPath mentors also help you land — accommodation, banking, homesickness, the whole first semester.
A senior, not a search engine
The interface stays out of the way. Minimal clicks between "I have a question" and "I'm on a call with someone who's lived it."
The conversation that matters
One honest call beats a hundred forum threads.
Every mentor on PeerPath was sitting exactly where you are now — refreshing admissions forums, unsure which advice to trust. A single 60-minute call with someone who's actually lived at your target university cuts through all of that.
Book your first callEverything you need, built in
No plugins, no separate booking tool — the whole journey lives in one place.
Smart mentor matching
Filter by university, major, career interest and expertise until the list is short and relevant.
Instant boarding-pass booking
Pick an open slot and get a confirmed, calendar-ready session in two taps.
Admin-verified mentors
Every profile is reviewed before it goes live, and can be suspended if standards slip.
Application tracker
A private checklist that follows you from shortlisting universities to landing on campus.
Ratings & accountability
Every session ends with a rating, so quality is visible — not just claimed.
Mobile-first by design
Built for the phone screen first, because that's where this journey actually happens.

What students say

"Is the workload at a UK university really that different from CBSE? My mentor walked me through an actual reading list."

Frequently asked
No — that's the point. Mentors are independent current students, not university-appointed ambassadors, so advice isn't filtered through an admissions office.
Consultants are paid to manage your application. Mentors are current students sharing their own lived experience — complementary, not a replacement for either.
Use "Request a Mentor" on the Support page — Phase 2 is specifically about widening coverage based on requests like yours.
Not yet — the web app is built mobile-first, so it works well from a phone browser today while a dedicated app is evaluated.
