I wasn’t really sure how to bring it all together — how to say, ‘This is Farhan,’ and show both the personal side and everything I’d done. That’s where Athena really helped me step up my game. They showed me how to use every part of my application — the activities list, the essays, the supplements — to show I’m not just one-faceted, but someone with many different sides that are unique and interesting. That’s what really helped me get into Princeton.

Athena has been really fundamental in my journey. More than that, I think they gave me this belief in myself, and I think what has changed is that I’ve understood there’s a clear way to structure everything, with the proper timelines I had with my projects and with my essays and everything. I would not have been able to write such good essays without the mentorship I received.
