The 6-Week Path at a Glance

How This Program Is Different

Most courses give students a general overview of admissions. At Rastah, we focus on tangible outcomes: essays written, plans finalized, and strategies tailored to each student. With a small cohort size (~15 students), every participant receives direct feedback and accountability — not just lectures.
