College applications are completely new terrain for high school seniors, but Gen Zers are like fish in water when it comes to social media, so ZeeMee has created a platform that merges the two. Rather than submitting a stodgy old CV alone, ZeeMee creates a profile filled with images, short videos, and bite-sized descriptions, like a social media account that high school seniors can show off to college admissions teams.
Considering the tremendous popularity of platforms like Instagram and Snapchat among today's high school students, it's no surprise that Gen Z is adept at presenting themselves through the lens of short videos and images. ZeeMee lets these young adults move back into their comfort zone when applying to colleges, since constructing a clean CV might as well be like learning ancient Greek.
