DegreeMentors, Founded by Two Students from Los Angeles, Announces a New Mentor-Led Approach to College Admissions

DegreeMentors, a new college consulting agency, redefines the admissions process by connecting high schoolers with current undergraduate mentors from top universities across the nation.

Los Angeles, CA, United States, March 1, 2025 — Introduction: The Birth of DegreeMentors

In an era where the college application process is more competitive and complex than ever before, a new consulting agency has emerged with a fresh perspective. DegreeMentors, founded by two students, Norair Khalafyan and Arman Tarverdyan, is focused on revolutionizing the college admissions process by leveraging the expertise of current undergraduate mentors from top universities across the nation. What sets DegreeMentors apart from traditional consulting services is their commitment to real-time, personalized guidance from those who have recently navigated the very same college admissions process.

The idea for DegreeMentors was born from the founders’ personal struggles with the college application process. Khalafyan, a current undergraduate student at UC Berkeley, and Tarverdyan, an MBA student at Woodbury University, both realized the lack of mentorship during their own college applications. They envisioned a service that not only offered professional advice but also provided students with the opportunity to work with mentors who were currently attending some of the most prestigious universities in the country. Today, DegreeMentors boasts a team of mentors from top-tier universities, making it a standout player in the college consulting industry.

A Mentor-Led Approach to College Admissions

The traditional college application process is often seen as a daunting and opaque challenge for students. While many consulting agencies rely on former admissions officers or academic professionals, DegreeMentors takes a different approach by offering mentorship from students currently attending top-tier universities. This model allows high school students to receive guidance from those who are not only familiar with the admissions process but have recently undergone it themselves. These mentors bring fresh, relevant, and up-to-date insights, which can significantly increase a student’s chances of securing acceptance.
“It’s not just about writing essays and preparing for tests; it’s about finding the right fit and making sure a student’s story stands out,” says Khalafyan. “Our mentors have been through it themselves. They know exactly what works and what doesn’t.”
DegreeMentors’ research-based approach gives students an edge by understanding the intricacies of what top universities are looking for in applicants. The agency goes beyond generic advice and delves into each school’s unique admissions trends, creating a roadmap that helps students tailor their applications for success.

Customizing the College Application Process

What makes DegreeMentors even more unique is its commitment to customizing the college application experience. Recognizing that every student is different, the agency takes the time to understand each individual’s strengths, passions, and aspirations before recommending a strategy. This personalized approach ensures that every student not only stands out but also finds a college that is the right fit for them.
The process begins with a detailed consultation, followed by a one-on-one mentorship program where mentors assist students with various aspects of the application, from selecting universities to writing essays and preparing for interviews. DegreeMentors also places a strong emphasis on helping students discover and pursue passion projects—initiatives or activities that showcase their unique interests and commitment. These projects can help make an application stand out, as universities often look for students who demonstrate initiative and creativity.

Success Stories: Proven Results

The success of DegreeMentors is not just in its approach but also in its results. The agency has garnered an impressive track record of helping students gain acceptance to some of the most competitive universities across the United States. In 2023, DegreeMentors boasted a 92% acceptance rate for students applying to prestigious institutions like UCLA and UC Berkeley. Additionally, the team has helped secure millions in scholarships and financial assistance, making the college dream more accessible for students from all backgrounds.
While the team has garnered significant praise for its mentorship, one of the key elements of its success lies in its ability to connect students with the resources they need to navigate the often-complicated financial aid process. Whether it’s assisting with FAFSA applications or identifying scholarship opportunities, DegreeMentors ensures that students have the support they need throughout the entire admissions journey.

Revolutionizing College Admissions for the Future

With an emphasis on personalization, mentorship, and real-world experience, DegreeMentors is paving the way for a new generation of college applicants. The agency is not just helping students get into their dream schools; it is also fostering the development of passion-driven individuals who are ready to make an impact in the world. This innovative approach to college admissions has garnered attention in the education sector, and DegreeMentors is poised for continued growth and success in the years to come.

For Norair Khalafyan and Arman Tarverdyan, DegreeMentors is not just a business; it’s a passion project born out of their own personal experiences and a desire to give back. “We wanted to create something that would make the college admissions process less intimidating and more accessible to every student,” says Tarverdyan. “It’s about providing the guidance we wish we had when applying to colleges ourselves.”
