As a first-generation student from a small town, Gohar Khan \u201921 had to navigate the college admissions process largely on his own. He founded his YouTube channel, Gohar\u2019s Guide, to make things easier for other young people.<\/p>\n
Today, more than 10 million people follow Khan on social media for college application advice, study tips, and life hacks. He is also the CEO and cofounder of Next Admit, a consulting business that provides help with college essays, applications, and test preparation. \u201cI\u2019m on a mission to help students worldwide succeed inside and outside of school,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
Born in Pakistan, Khan moved to the United States when he was six months old and grew up in Connecticut, attending a public high school that rarely sent students to top colleges. \u201cThat, coupled with the fact that my parents hadn\u2019t gone through the process themselves, made [applying to colleges] a little bit difficult,\u201d he says. \u201cI wanted to demystify the admissions process for a lot of people in the position I was once in.\u201d <\/p>\n
