“Aleks grew up in Brazil blindly thinking Yale was meant for him due to his family legacy. Fortunately, he had the time, resources and opportunity to spend time on-campus before applying and noticing it was nothing like he imagined. When in college, he was certain banking was the right fit, leading him once again to frustration after his internships.
No 18 year old knows what they want to do in life. It’s no coincidence that there are so many memes addressing this “existential” crisis. Students need Vioo because we provide a bias-free virtual resource for college and job discovery regardless of where you are in the world – job portals just don’t cut it with Gen-Z.”
