Hi! I'm Natalia! I started Paved Path at MIT. Just last year, I applied to US and UK universities from Poland and faced, like many, overworked college counselors, overpriced private tutors, and frustrations about lacking connections to students at my dream universities. I ended up working with "experts" who discouraged me from applying to technical schools or discounted my experiences. I was lucky to have my sister guide me through the process, and recently, I helped my brother! 

 

Coming to MIT, I heard many of my peers sharing similar stories and struggles of a lonely and confusing time. Reflecting on my own experiences, I realized I had a privileged experience working with my sister, someone who truly understood the current competitive application process, was compassionate, and did not financially burden my family. So I decided to develop this platform that replicates the model and benefits I experienced to support students everywhere. I am excited to help you all achieve your dreams and see some of you on campus!
