YesLetter.com, founded by students at Princeton University and the Wharton School of Business, offers an extensive online library and discussion network—all developed and run by students in a number of Ivy League and other top-tier schools.
Princeton students Adam Ludwig ’06 and Robert Moore ’06, founded YesLetter.com two years ago (2002). With a $1,000 investment, some knowledge of web design and personal experience getting into the college of their dreams, Moore and Ludwig created the site while still in going to classes.

“There are a number of private consulting companies that offer advice sessions for hundreds or even thousands of dollars per consultation,” the site says. “Our goal is to make the knowledge those services provide available to the masses at an affordable rate.”
A standard student membership in YesLetter.com offers six months of unlimited access to the service for $70. YesLetter.com also offers a fee-waiver program to select high school students with extremely limited financial resources.
