Kevin McMullin's final blogpost. He's not going anywhere; just feels he needs a change from posting daily for the past ten years. Awesome man; brilliant insights into college admissions and life itself. Thank you Kevin McMullin!

It’s official, we’ve made it through our teens! We’ve made life-long friends, driven miles around the country (and flown across the ocean), and we’ve grown into our name. While a lot has changed in 20 years, our mission has stayed the same: we’re out to inject fun, fulfillment, and sanity into the college admissions process, and empower students to own it. Thank you for being a part of our journey.
