When students are applying to top colleges, these colleges care less about raw statistics and more so about your story. They want to see your growth and preserverence, even in failure.
This is the driving factor behind the College Consulting industry, where students who can afford to pay thousands of dollars for a college consultant have the best stories, and those who can't, simply don't get into college, even if they're the perfect fit.
Traditional college consultants are making bank off this fact, charging outrageous amounts for limited office hours and bi-weekly check-ins. The private college consulting industry is growing by 7.1% each year, even with these downsides and MirAI aims to solve all of them.
MirAI is an AI-native college consultant that was built in 24-hours during the YC Vibecon Hackathon. MirAI helps with all stages of the college admission process, from choosing your best colleges, setting deadlines, brainstorming ideas, polishing essays, generating bragsheets, and more. All while maintaining Common Application complience and for much less than traditional solutions would cost you.
While MirAI didn't win at Vibecon, we beleive it has real potential to improve college chances for all students, even those in low-income areas. So we're making it a real thing. Stay tuned for MirAI, coming Q1, 2026.
