I have been enormously impressed with the professionalism and the opportunity that Polygence has offered my students. [The research projects offer] far more depth than what can be found in a high school curriculum. Students have completed a deep dive into topics relating to science, art, literature, and linguistics. As an advisor, I have immensely enjoyed seeing my students progress. Many of my students really see these mentorships in the truest sense of the word.
Polygence does a wonderful job matching students with mentors in their interest fields -- and they go beyond to help students achieve their full potentials. The whole team is extremely supportive -- fast responses with questions; thorough summary after each sessions and customized research experience for every student. One of my seniors last year completed a policy/law related project and leveraged her project for college admissions. She's happily attending USC Marshall School of Business now!
While many programs offer students the opportunity to research under the guidance of faculty members the uniqueness of Polygence is that this is a program for students with a clear point of view and research interest. The mentors also work to engage students from around the world at a time that is convenient for them rather than solely engaging at a fixed time. The growth that students experience truly builds their intellectual curiosity and academic self-confidence.
Our students have been involved in a range of projects spanning an array of different interest areas including fashion, government, computer science and research science. What I appreciate are advisors who are both experts in their field and caring mentors for their students. The Polygence team has worked hard to make sure students are academically challenged and not just completing a program. I appreciate their partnership and keep up the good work!
As a consultant, I can say the student tracking system Polygence offers to partners is especially impressive. The email notices from Polygence have helped us to track our students' progress (both their admission interviews and sessions), enabling us to better serve our students' needs and expedite our workflow. Also, the students' profiles on our Polygence account dashboard have been beneficial to...explain the students’ process and potentials of research to their parents...
Every single one of our 50+ students & families have spoken extremely highly about Polygence, the top-tier mentors they have, and excitement the students’ have when meeting with their mentors and working on their research projects. Having worked in the education space for the past 10+ years, I’ve seen many organizations that come and go and there is not another organization that I have been as thoroughly impressed with as I am with Polygence…

My mentor expertly mixed in-depth topic knowledge with friendliness and openness to make the Polygence experience simultaneously exciting and manageable.
Academic and professional success in the 21st century requires autonomy, continual learning, and perseverance in the face of struggle. Polygence allows any student anywhere in the world to flex these muscles by engaging in rigorous independent research projects. That’s a win for students and a win for the future of education.James Kim, Former Assistant Director, Yale Undergraduate Admission
