Our Story
As college admissions rates have plummeted, the admissions process has grown increasingly confusing and nerve-wracking. Apply Genius founders Anthony Colarusso, Michael Pankowski, and Sean Darcy graduated from public high schools and learned how to navigate this complex and opaque process, getting admitted to and attending Harvard and Johns Hopkins, respectively.
Now, founders Anthony, Michael, and Sean decided to create an AI College Consultant to democratize college admissions consulting and level the playing field.
Our Mission
To democratize college admissions consulting and make elite college admissions about who the best student is, not who can pay tens of thousands of dollars to know how to get in.
