As the Class of 2025 commits to their college decisions, JMA is proud to announce that JMA ’25 mentees in ZImbabwe have been accepted, with full rides, to numerous prestegious colleges like Harvard, MIT, Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, and Amhert College in the most selective application cycle in history.

We are so excited for our mentees to start their educational journey! JMA Mentors, as a part of JMA’s Mentorship Program, are hand selected, Ivy league college students who provide both academic and personal guidance to students from diadvanatged backgrounds, covering medical biotechnology lessons, helping with school work, providing guidance for standardized testing, applying to US and international colleges, navigating the common application, applying for scholarships and more. We are extremely grateful for our dozens of mentors, around the country, who help to provide support and guidance, free of cost, to all of our mentees! 

Below, we have a video interview between Vivian Chinoda, a bright student from Zimbabwe, and JMA founder Reetam Ganguli on how she got full rides to Harvard and MIT, and her advice to other African students hoping to make similar caliber insitutions in the US. 

We are so proud of Vivian Chinoda for getting a full ride to Harvard and MIT in this unprescendented application season! We also want to give a special thank you to Vivian’s JMA mentors who have helped guide her in her college application process. Vivian, you are so earnestly motivated and truly deserving — MIT is incredibly lucky to have you!
