Our Differentiator

Here's the truth. Most career advisors at even the most prestigious universities have little to no experience outside of academia. They do not have corporate experiences at top-tier firms or within industries highly sought after by students. The few advisors who do possess such experiences find themselves overwhelmed and unable to adequately support each student.

With Polaris, students always have personal and direct access to an expert instructor who has experience working at a top-tier firm in a popular industry and teaching at one of the most prestigious universities in the world. We believe that students who give 100% towards their ambition deserve an experienced coach invested in them 100%.
