HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

providing alternative consulting resources for students hoping to get into professional and graduate schools without the hefty price tag*

THE PROBLEM

Getting into professional and graduate programs is a multi-year process with standardized exams, applications, course requirements and interviews to navigate. Programs such as medicine, dentistry, optometry, law and pharmacy have increasing grade point averages and high thresholds for extracurriculars and non-academic involvements. Students are often left to their own devices, or paying professional consulting agencies prices upwards of thousands of dollars. We at HOPE aim to create an accessible, transparent alternative

OUR PROMISE

HOPE for the Future offers free and fairly priced paid services to help students get into their dream programs. Our programs operate on a “peer to peer” basis and ensure that the pricing covers a small honorarium to thank our professional consultants for their time. 50% of all revenue from our consulting services is returned to The HOPE Foundation Initiative Charity. 

We offer consulting services and free mentorship programs for the following programs: 

Medicine    Optometry    Pharmacy    Law

*Please note that all of our mentors and consultants are advising based on prior experiences and do not represent admissions committees for professional schools. We do not guarantee admission.
