About Us
Good tools should not belong only to those who can afford them.
UAsite15 was built on that premise. Founded in 2025 by Steven Zhang, it is a student-led platform that builds the resources students actually need — and makes them free.
ColleAdvisor demystifies college admissions for students without expensive counselors. HVDSim puts real business decision-making in the hands of students who were never meant to be in the room. The APUSH Dictionary gives over 1,200 historical entries to any student, anywhere, regardless of what their school could afford. Theodore Review offers rigorous double-blind peer review to student writers who lack the institutional affiliations that most journals quietly require.
Five publications. Two continents. One belief: that a community of students, trusted with real tools and real responsibility, builds something that lasts.
This is what we aimed for.
Accessibility — resources should be free, transparent, and student-friendly.
Clarity — complex systems should be understandable, not intimidating.
Creativity — learning should feel alive, practical, and open to experimentation.
Over time, UAsite15 has evolved from an individual idea into a shared space where tools are refined with feedback, and students contribute expertise from different disciplines. The mission remains consistent:
to offer clearer pathways for academic decision-making and to build a learning environment that is smarter, fairer, and more empowering for students.
Special Thanks ---- Honorable Mr. Keyan
This master's degree holder from Oxford University and history teacher provided valuable guidance and advice for our project development, providing rigorous scholarly support—especially for the U.S. History Dictionary. His expertise, meticulous review, and commitment to historical accuracy ensure the project meets a high academic standard.
Our Team Member:
Steven leads UAsite15’s overall vision and system design. He builds most of the platform’s core logic engines, from admissions analytics to essay evaluation and business simulators. His work combines technical precision with a habit of overthinking everything in amusing detail.
He brings experience from multiple international academic competitions and research projects, and has a tendency to create new tools whenever he gets bored.
Jerry joined the UAsite15 platform from its earliest prototype, providing rigorous testing, detailed feedback, and constructive insights to shape its first tools. His ability to identify logical gaps, optimize user flow, and stress test early features made him a fundamental contributor to the development of the project.
He brought rich academic experience, including achieving multiple top 5% in provincial exams and mathematics tests, as well as proficiency in computer languages. He combined analytical accuracy with strategic thinking, strengthened the decision-making framework of UAsite15, and provided sharp and thoughtful criticism in multiple projects.
Bai is currently studying at an international school in China, which places her in close contact with the practical challenges faced by students navigating competitive academic systems. This background enabled her to contribute not only analytical insight, but also first-hand awareness of real user needs.
Throughout her involvement with UAsite15, Bai demonstrated a strong sensitivity to structural and usability issues that students genuinely encounter. She consistently identified overlooked friction points in workflows, uncovered mismatches between design assumptions and actual student behavior, and helped the team recognize problems that were often invisible from a purely top-down or theoretical perspective.
By combining market awareness with architectural reasoning and grounded student experience, Bai helped ensure that several tools addressed concrete difficulties rather than abstract ideals. Her contributions strengthened the platform’s relevance, practicality, and alignment with the realities of its intended users.
The Support Team has played a valuable role in UAsite15’s development, promotion, and design. Their constructive suggestions and steady assistance contributed to smoother progress across multiple stages of the project. Our Support Team includesWu and Jiao.
