Project Types
Every project produces a real, verifiable outcome — the kind that makes admissions officers take notice.
Book Publishing
Write, edit, and professionally publish a book on a topic you're passionate about. Your Personify mentor guides you through every step — from outline to Amazon listing. Students have published fiction, nonfiction, poetry collections, and research-backed guides.
Research & Journal Publication
Design and execute an original research study under expert mentorship. Present your findings at science fairs or submit to peer-reviewed student journals. Build the kind of intellectual depth that admissions officers look for.
Wet Lab Research
Conduct hands-on laboratory research with a PhD-level mentor. Wet lab projects involve biological, chemical, or materials science experiments with real-world applications. Ideal for students interested in medicine, biotech, or pharmaceutical sciences.
Invention & Patent Filing
Identify a real-world problem, design a solution, build a prototype, and file a provisional patent. Your mentor guides you through the entire invention cycle — including patent search, application drafting, and USPTO filing.
Nonprofit Founding
Found a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization around a cause you care about. Your mentor helps you develop the mission, register legally, build a team, and launch programs that create measurable community impact.
Science Fairs
Prepare a competitive science fair project from hypothesis to presentation. Your mentor helps you design rigorous experiments, analyze data, and create a winning poster and presentation for regional, state, and national competitions.
Academic Competitions
Structured preparation for national academic competitions — AMC/AIME, F=ma/USAPhO, DECA, FBLA, Science Olympiad, and more. Your coach develops a personalized training plan focused on building skills and earning recognition.
Internships
Your mentor helps you identify, apply for, and land meaningful internships at research labs, startups, nonprofits, or industry organizations. Build real professional experience that strengthens your college application.
Summer Programs
Get strategic guidance on selecting and applying to competitive summer programs — RSI, MOSTEC, SSP, Telluride, and more. Your mentor helps you craft compelling applications that maximize your chances of admission.
Test Prep
Personalized SAT, ACT, AP, and subject test preparation with experienced tutors. Diagnostic assessment, customized study plans, and regular practice tests to ensure you reach your target scores.
Rising Senior Intensive
The summer before senior year is your last meaningful window for a standout project. This accelerated track compresses a full project into 8–12 weeks — book publishing, research, or invention — so you have a finished, verifiable accomplishment before applications open.
We also offer essay support as part of our mentorship program.
