What people say

about us

"I was rejected from my early decision school and was about to give up. I found LumiSource, rewrote everything, and got into MIT, UVA & got a full ride to my state school. Nothing really else to say. :)"

student

Ronald Vijay

Admitted to MIT ('28)

"I really can't thank LumiSource enough for how much it helped me through the process. Without it, I don't think I would have gotten into Harvard. All the tools, especially the guidance from the roadmap and the essay tools, really helped me through the process and helped me craft essays that I would say were the best part of my application. I can't stress enough how helpful it was, and I would recommend it to any junior or senior who wants to get into a good college."

student

Eric Lee

Admitted to Harvard University ('28)

"LumiSource was honestly the best thing I used for my college apps. What really made a difference for me was the Essay Review feature. It didn’t just sugarcoat things like other tools I’ve tried. The feedback was brutally honest, but that’s exactly what I needed to really improve my essays. It actually helped me make my writing better instead of just giving me vague advice. If you're struggling with your essays or are aiming for top schools, I’d 100% recommend using this."

student

Dillon H-Williams

Admitted to Cornell University ('28)

"LumiSource really delivered. Its tools, especially the Roadmap, College Tracker & Essay Manager, made the process so much easier for me. I didn't expect it, but I genuinely believe it played a big role in my acceptance to my dream school Columbia :)."

student

Jake W.

Admitted to Columbia University ('28)

"I really wish I had something like LumiSource. Every feature would have definitely made my life so much easier. I especially love the Roadmap - it would have been amazing having something guiding me as a confused high schooler helping me understand what I need to do to stand out in the college app process. The best part is how affordable it is!"
