Frequently Asked Questions

How does Infinite Futures use AI?

At Infinite Futures, we believe AI can be a helpful tool when used narrowly and responsibly. For example, we support students who want to use AI for brainstorming and preliminary organization. However, we do not believe in using AI for essay writing or editing, as we consider this both unethical and inconsistent with the policies of most admissions offices nationwide. 

All college list guidance, strategy recommendations, and editing services provided by Infinite Futures are completed by real College Advisors and Former Admissions Officers. AI never replaces human judgment, personalized insight, or our commitment to ethical, student-centered support.

Do I get to choose my College Advisor?

Yes. Infinite Futures offers meet-and-greet sessions with available College Advisors so students and families can find the right fit. We believe a strong advising relationship starts with trust and connection, and that begins on day one.

How does Infinite Futures approach writing and editing?

At Infinite Futures, we believe in writing early and often. Our team members serve as thought partners for students, using a structured curriculum to support brainstorming, identify strong potential topics, and develop clear outlines. Once a student completes a draft, we guide them through the editing and revision process to strengthen clarity, voice, and impact. We never write essays for students.

For students in grades 8 through 11, writing is a core part of the Infinite Futures curriculum. These students receive structured guided journal prompts as a regular and consistent component of their meetings, helping them build strong ideas and an authentic voice over time.

Why should a family work with Infinite Futures before high school?

At Infinite Futures, we believe college advising should be about more than just outcomes. Starting earlier means building skills, confidence, and self-awareness along the way. We prioritize mentorship and provide families with a trusted, expert perspective to help guide the many decisions students make throughout high school. 

Starting earlier allows us to thoughtfully shape a student’s academic and extracurricular experiences around their individual interests and strengths. For most students, beginning in grade 11 or 12 leaves significantly less time to implement a cohesive, intentional strategy.

Does Infinite Futures replace the high school counselor?

Absolutely not. It is never our intention to replace or go against a student’s high school counselor. Instead, our goal is to complement their guidance and provide additional time, perspective, and support that students may not always receive in school due to large caseloads and additional administrative responsibilities.

Members of the Infinite Futures team have worked in high school counseling offices, and we have the utmost respect for the important work counselors do in supporting students and families. We are always excited and willing to partner with high school counseling teams to provide additional support or application review services. 

What skills will Infinite Futures work on with my student?

Our Foundations and Comprehensive Packages focus on building the core skills students need to succeed in high school, college, and beyond. These include writing, speaking, listening, storytelling, critical thinking, and problem solving, as well as cultivating gratitude, community engagement, academic curiosity, and a strong sense of purpose. Over time, students will develop practical skills such as conducting research on different higher education institutions, interviewing, and communicating thoughtfully with adults and mentors.

Infinite Futures offers optional support for test preparation and can connect families with tutors when appropriate. While we do not provide day-to-day executive functioning support, we can refer families to trusted partners.

What types of data does Infinite Futures have access to?

Through our partnership with MaiaLearning, Infinite Futures has access to over one million student data points, including academic and testing metrics as well as application outcomes. We pair this data with real-world college admissions and advising experience to inform thoughtful college list development and student strategy.

Families also receive access to extensive college and career data through the MaiaLearning platform from day one, ensuring transparency and shared understanding throughout the advising process.

How often do families work with a Former Admissions Officer?

At Infinite Futures, Former Admissions Officers (FAOs) work collaboratively with our College Advisors on a daily basis. FAOs and College Advisors communicate each workday and meet at least twice per week to discuss student strategy, family questions, and evolving admissions trends. As families meet regularly with their assigned College Advisor, all major decisions are shaped with FAO input and approval. If a family has a question for an FAO, they will receive a timely and thoughtful response.

Depending on a family’s advising package, students may meet directly with a Former Admissions Officer in grade 10 and/or grade 11. FAOs review all grade 11 student profiles using our proprietary Preparedness Rubric and also review grade 10 students in the Comprehensive Package. FAO involvement increases significantly in grade 11 as college lists and application strategies are finalized, and FAOs play a central role in the essay review and editing process.

What makes the Infinite Futures approach different from other companies?

Infinite Futures is a company built by educators. We prioritize real-world expertise, ethical guidance, and a student-centered philosophy. Every member of our team has at least five years of direct experience in college admissions or advising, and our work is grounded in firsthand knowledge of how decisions are made inside admissions offices.

We prioritize the student experience and long-term skill-building alongside admissions outcomes. Our College Advisors work collaboratively with full-time Former Admissions Officers (FAOs), meeting at least twice per week to discuss student strategy and ensure thoughtful, well-informed guidance. Our team has collectively read tens of thousands of applications and our FAOs have served as voting members on admissions committees, giving families clear insight into what colleges are truly looking for.

Infinite Futures is an exclusive partner of MaiaLearning, which we use to deliver our curriculum, manage application materials, and communicate with families. Students and parents each have their own MaiaLearning portal, and families have access from day one to college and career data as well as student metrics. 

Our College Advisors and Former Admissions Officers spent more than a year developing a comprehensive curriculum for our students, covering everything from activities to essay development to interviewing. Our Former Admissions Officers have also created a proprietary Preparedness Rubric based on their reading and committee experience at highly selective and Ivy League institutions. At Infinite Futures, we never use AI to develop college lists, make strategy recommendations, or edit application materials.

Finally, our team includes specialists across a wide range of student populations and pathways, including Ivy League and highly selective institutions, the University of California system, science and engineering, international students, domestic students applying abroad, recruited athletes, specialized high school admissions, ROTC, transfer students, QuestBridge applicants, first-generation and low-income students, rural applicants, and more.

Can you write or rewrite my personal statement for me?

No. Our College Advisors and FAOs serve as writing coaches and editors, not ghostwriters. We help students find their voice, develop strong topics, and craft compelling narratives, but the writing must be their own. Submitting work that is not authentically yours is inconsistent with our values and the expectations of colleges nationwide.

How many rounds of editing will I receive?

Each personal statement includes structured brainstorming sessions, multiple rounds of editing, and final review by a Former Admissions Officer. The number of editing rounds depends on where a student is in the process and what the essay needs.

My school's supplement has a lot of prompts. Will you help with all of them?

The school supplement service focuses on one school's supplemental application. If you'd like support across multiple schools, we can discuss the best approach for your situation.

Can I meet with a College Advisor instead?

The course selection meeting is conducted by a Former Admissions Officer who brings direct institutional knowledge of how course rigor is evaluated at selective colleges. This is intentional. Not all course selection guidance carries equal weight, and we want families to receive the most accurate, context-informed advice possible.

What grade should a student be in to start a Readiness Package?

The Readiness Package is designed for students entering grades 6 through 8. These are the foundational years when students are developing habits, interests, and identity. The earlier we can provide thoughtful structure and support, the more meaningful the experience becomes. It is designed to build skills and confidence well before high school.

What is a Former Admissions Officer?

A Former Admissions Officer (FAO) is someone who has worked inside a college or university admissions office, evaluating applications, conducting interviews, traveling to recruit students, and in many cases voting on admissions decisions as a member of a committee. Infinite Futures FAOs have worked at institutions including Yale, Brown, Northwestern, and UC San Diego.

How is a strategy meeting different from ongoing advising?

A strategy meeting is a standalone service: a focused, single conversation with a Former Admissions Officer. It is designed for families who want expert, direct guidance without committing to a full advising package. Ongoing advising involves regular meetings, curriculum, tools, and a sustained relationship with a College Advisor and FAO team over time.

Can I book multiple FAO Strategy Meetings?

Yes. Some families find value in scheduling meetings at key decision points, such as before course registration, at the start of junior year, or as applications open. Each meeting is independent and can be tailored to your current priorities.

What if I already have a college counselor? Is this meeting still valuable?

Yes. The FAO Strategy Meeting is designed to complement, not replace, existing guidance. It provides a direct perspective from someone who has worked inside admissions offices, a layer of insight that is different from what most independent counselors offer.
