From the founders
Why we built P4P
Instead of writing you a long paragraph, we recorded one.What P4P is, why we started it, and the difference it makes to have someone in your corner who has already been through the admissions process.We kept it short for the algorithm-fried brains out there ;)

The founders
Built by Pakistanis,
for Pakistanis
Shazil Farukh
Shazil grew up in Pakistan on the A-Level track and navigated US admissions and the F-1 process. He now works as a Financial Technology Analyst at the World Bank. Students kept asking him about aid, visa interviews, and the CSS Profile. He built P4P so they could get answers from someone who actually went through it.
Haider Gillani
Haider went from Matric and FSc at Cadet College Hasan Abdal to a US university and now works as an AI Engineer at HP in San Francisco. He applied alone, with no one to check his school list or explain the process to his parents. He co-founded P4P so the next student from Hasan Abdal, or any Pakistani school system, has someone to call.
Built with your trust
in mind.
We come from Pakistani families ourselves and understand how much parents care about their children's future. So we built P4P the way our own parents would want it.

Common questions
Asked by students and parents
Are you an admissions consultancy?
No. We're a network of Pakistani students who recently went through the exact process you're facing. No sales targets or quotas. Just honest guidance from your brothers and sisters who already did the application cycle.
