Mos: Money for students 4+

11/10

Honestly, I was very skeptical when I first downloaded MOS. I had seen a few ads for it on my TikTok feed and decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad I did. The idea of applying for scholarships was very daunting for me, but this app makes it fun and a lot less stressful. I love being able to compare different scholarships and learn the gist of them without having to hunt down all the different websites myself. Being able to swipe left or right is both hilarious and satisfying as it mimics a dating app. In a recent update, there is now ai generated text that takes the prompt and a quick response to type out a large chunk of text that you can copy and paste right in. This feature is a life saver, but could still use some tweaks. I love the ability to have an advisor to help with financial planning while planning for college. I personally don’t use this feature as you would have to subscribe to it, but I’m still able to access the default ai advisor. I’ve already recommended this app to several friends and have applied to dozens of scholarships. This app is super easy to use and navigate and I truly that everyone is able to use this to lighten the load with college.

Lifesaver for College-Bound Students!

As a college-bound student navigating the daunting landscape of financial aid, grants, and scholarships, I stumbled upon the MOS app, and it has been an absolute game-changer for me. With no prior experience in dealing with these matters, I found myself overwhelmed and lost, until MOS came to my rescue.

One of the standout features of the MOS app is its ability to assist students like me in finding scholarships tailored to our unique profiles. It not only provides a comprehensive database of available scholarships but also offers personalized recommendations based on our academic achievements, interests, and background.

But what truly sets MOS apart is its unparalleled support in negotiating with colleges and universities. From analyzing my information to crafting compelling letters, MOS guided me every step of the way. They even provided invaluable advice on whom to address these letters to and when to follow up, ensuring that I stayed on top of my application process.

Thanks to MOS, I not only felt empowered to take control of my financial aid journey but also achieved outcomes beyond my expectations. I couldn't be happier with the service they provided and the positive impact it has had on my future. For any college-bound student seeking guidance and support in navigating the complexities of financial aid, grants, and scholarships, I wholeheartedly recommend the MOS app. It's a lifesaver!

Lies

So far it seemed good, but then something not cool happened. I was pushing a button for financial aid for a college, then all of a sudden it drafted this whole email that I didn’t even write, at all (which is a huge no-go, as these are good colleges, and I feel they could tell in the present or future that they aren’t from me). Anyways, not my main point, I skim through the email, and it mentions my parents struggling to afford our cost of living????!!! I never selected an option like that, because that’s not at all true. I also have a learning disability (ADHD), and in the email, it’s just says that “as a student with a disability, I may face unanticipated costs associated with life on campus,” they frame it like I have a PHYSICAL disability- which is a lie. I have many chronic illnesses, but it don’t have a physical disability recognized by the state, and I didn’t mention anything about any illnesses besides ADHD.

the finding scholarships part seems fine, seems legit, but I also haven’t gone into them too much because i’m class of 25, so they might be just as iffy.

proceed with caution, and MAKE SURE, to read over those autogenerated emails. of anything, please write your own emails and essays, you can use an example/base, but don’t have some app do it for you.
