AdmitSee is an educational technology company and college-oriented social-networking site with offices in New York City and San Francisco. AdmitSee is the first database of successful college application essays and resumes; a peer-to-peer solution for college admissions and career readiness. The service allows college applicants to read real successful applications and resumes of accepted students. They browse basic profiles for free, and then pay to access full application files, including essays; half of this money goes to the college students who shared their content. Applicants can also communicate directly with verified college students via the paid mentor messaging feature.〔 As of January 2015, the platform has over 5,000 application files and 100,000 monthly active users. AdmitSee uses official school IDs to verify student profiles and facilitates universities screening for plagiarism. == Founding == The company was founded by Lydia Fayal and Stephanie Shyu in 2013 while attending grad school at the University of Pennsylvania. The idea to crowd-source application files came to Lydia during her work as a college admissions consultant while addressing clients' most common question: ″Do you know anyone who got into X college and how do I compare?″ Through a friend, the founders were introduced to founding engineer, Jerry Huyghe, an experienced web developer who had previously built hundreds of web sites, including several for Fortune 500 companies, and also served as a Global Product Manager for Enterprise Security Products at eSafe, a mobile code scanning company. Early funding for the company came from Founder.org and the edtech accelerator Imagine K12. In 2015, Lydia Fayal and Stephanie Shyu were named to Forbes 30 Under 30 as Influencers in Education. Fayal credits early traction to their virtual internship program, which they modeled after oDesk.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AdmitSee Inc.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
