When I applied to colleges, I found tons of great advice online. I also hired a private counselor who genuinely helped. But I realized most of the work still fell on me. Counselors and articles can only suggest what to do. You still have to do everything: research, write, revise, and somehow not lose your mind. So I built CounselAI: a pocket college counselor that actually aids the application process, not just advises. Here’s what it does: 1. Essay Feedback Upload your Common App essay and get a score based on advice from real admissions officers. You’ll also get feedback on your opening, structure, narrative, voice, and vocabulary plus an AI check to ensure your essay doesn’t feel AI‑written. 2. Activity Formatter I personally struggled to condense my activities into 150 characters, find the right titles, and choose categories. This tool fixes that. Just write freely (even messy grammar is fine), and it pulls out the best points to auto‑generate a Common App‑ready activity. You can then fine‑tune with quick follow‑ups. 3. Supplemental Essay Ideas The hardest part of “Why Us?” essays is finding specific things that connect your background to the college. This feature takes your interests, major, activities, and background -- and combines it with a real‑time search of each college to suggest personal, relevant angles to write about. Bonus: You can add colleges you’re applying to and get reminders for essay deadlines and app completion. If you're applying to U.S. colleges, I built this for you. I hope it saves you from late‑night stress and helps you submit with confidence!
