When it came time to apply to college, Kofi Kankam was initially focused on midwestern schools like most of his classmates. Despite his stellar grades and impressive resume, the Ivies felt distant and unobtainable.
That changed when a Harvard student from Cleveland visited Kofi’s school on a whim. With her encouragement, Kofi applied to Harvard, where he earned both a Bachelor's in Biology and a Master's in Education.
This chance encounter highlighted to Kofi how luck played a significant role in his set of opportunities and how unfair it was that so many others who could not be so lucky would not reach their full potential.
Meanwhile, Eric Allen, also a proud public school alum, earned both acceptance into Brown’s elite engineering program and a starting position on the football team. When a battle with cancer his sophomore year meant he could no longer play football, he realized just how important education was to his future.
Kofi and Eric met at Wharton as members of the MBA Class of 2004. They bonded over their shared value in education and the different paths individuals take to get there. Their experience at Wharton highlighted to them the imbalance in the system and how seats in class didn’t always go to the most deserving people. On a mission to level the admissions playing field, in 2008 they founded admissions consulting firm Admit Advantage.
Admissions consulting was a rewarding career for Kofi and Eric, but still, they felt there was more they could do to fulfill their mission. Even with pricing discounts and cheaper options, they realized there are more candidates who could benefit from admissions support than those who can pay. Too many worthy applicants were left to chase their goals with no support. Admit.me was born to level the admissions playing field once and for all and allow any candidate access to reliable admissions support.
