ADMITSEE, a San Francisco, CA-based startup that helps students navigate the college admissions process, disclosed it has raised $1.5 million in seed funding from investors including The Social+Capital Partnership and FOUNDER.org. The round includes $100K that the team received as a graduate of Imagine K12’s accelerator program. Founded in 2013, AdmitSee offers a marketplace where verified college students can share and sell their application materials. The company shares a few notable writing trends through its analysis of essays that helped kids get into Stanford and Ivy Leagues—including which school prefers the term “father” over “dad.”
