Should my Cornell "Why us" mention the same professor as my Penn one?
You can use Prof. Ochoa twice — but not the same paragraph twice. Split the angle:Cornell: tie her lab to the undergrad research grant you starred in your fit notes.Penn: tie the same work to Netter Center, since activity #3 on your list is the tutoring program.Same name, two different reasons.

Why Now

The earlier you start,
the more options you keep.

Most students assume their school counselor will guide them through the process. But public school counselors split their time across hundreds of students and spend only about 21% of it on college advising. Unni builds the calendar around your own list—what's due, what's next, and what can wait.

Essay Mentor

Reads your list, activities and drafts. Tells you what to cut, what to expand, when you're done. Runs on our consulting library, not a general chatbot.

08 · ASK UNNI

An answer about your admissions, not admissions in general

She already knows your GPA, scores, activities, and college list—and is trained on our consulting playbook. Ask whether a school is a reach, which round to use, or what to cut, and she answers from your profile.

From our closed beta · 200 students

We tested it before we shipped it

I had eleven schools in a spreadsheet and no idea which ones were real. It took one afternoon to find out.

Senior, public school in Texas

My activities list said what I did. It didn't say why any of it mattered until Unni asked me the right questions.

Senior, international applicant

My counselor has hundreds of students. This is the first time someone answered at eleven at night.

Senior, first-generation applicant

Why we built this

We could keep the quality—or reach more students.
We wanted both.

We are Miri and Yoomee.

Miri applied to college with no one guiding her, asking older students for advice and searching online without ever knowing what to trust. She was eventually admitted to MIT and the Ivies. It should not have been that hard.

So we started answering admissions questions on YouTube. Those questions became MY College Consulting, where we have since advised more than a thousand students worldwide, including students admitted to every Ivy League university, Stanford, and MIT.

But good guidance is hard to scale. So we built a system to capture how we evaluate students, balance college lists, identify what matters most, and decide what comes next.

Unni is that system, built into software—our frameworks, training, and judgment, available anytime at a fraction of the cost.

Not a chatbot waiting for the right question.
The consultant we wish we had.

Applying to college is, at its best, a process of figuring out who you are. We want the paperwork to take weeks—not years—so the rest is yours.

The Unnis

Unni means “older sister” in Korean—someone a little further ahead who helps you find your way.

For years, our YouTube community knew us as “MIT Unni” and “Education PhD Unni.” Unni is us, in software.

Miri

Miri

CEO

B.S. COMPUTER SCIENCE, MIT · FORMER MIT ADMISSIONS INTERVIEWER · EX-AMAZON & IBM · MY COLLEGE CONSULTING

Miri applied with no one guiding her and was admitted to Ivies and MIT, with an essay an MIT admissions officer later told her they still remembered. She studied computer science at MIT and later interviewed applicants as an MIT admissions interviewer. After guiding her younger sibling to MIT Computer Science, she went on to co-found MY College Consulting and spend more than a decade advising students through the admissions process. Unni was her idea, and she leads how it gets built.

Yoomee

Yoomee

CHIEF SCIENTIST

PH.D. STUDENT IN EDUCATION, UC IRVINE · PUBLISHED IN EQUITY IN EDUCATION & SOCIETY · U.S. DEPT. OF EDUCATION RESEARCH · MY COLLEGE CONSULTING

Yoomee had no consultant of her own and pursued education research so that guidance could reach students who could not afford it. She has published research on students of color in STEM in Equity in Education & Society, presented at AERA, worked on a multi-million dollar U.S. Department of Education research project, and taught at UCI as an invited lecturer. She also co-founded MY College Consulting. Unni's rankings, tiers, and balance checks are grounded in her research and data, not anecdotal experience.

FAQ

What students ask before signing in.

What is Unni actually running on?

Our consulting library: the frameworks, tiering rules, balance checks, and first-session questions we use with students. It reads your profile before answering, so you don't need to know the right prompt.

Will it write my essay for me?

No. Essay Mentor tells you what to cut, what to expand and when a draft is done. The writing stays yours, which is also what schools require.

Who can use the beta?

Students applying to US colleges who are 16 or older. This cycle we are focused on current 12th graders, so the tools assume fall deadlines.

What does it cost?

Signing in is free. Non-AI tools are free in full, and AI tools include a free allowance. After that, a one-time Season Pass covers the rest of the season.

What happens to my essays and transcripts?

They stay yours. We don't provide identifiable work to AI providers to train their general models, and you can delete your account and files from Settings.

Can I still talk to a real person?

Yes — Unni can hand you off to a paid 1:1 review with one of our consultants. Spots fill, so timing isn't guaranteed.
