DreamCollege.ai Launches AI Tool to Transform College Counseling

Unveiled at The AI Show @ ASU+GSV, the agentic AI-powered tool offers expert-level, personalized admissions guidance at scale

A new AI-powered platform is aiming to transform the college admissions process for students across the U.S. DreamCollege.ai, officially launched on April 6, 2025, at the AI Show @ ASU+GSV, introduces a next-generation solution that combines intelligent automation with personalized guidance to help students navigate one of the most high-stakes periods of their academic lives.

Founded by Cornell MBA and tech leader Julia Liang, DreamCollege.ai leverages agentic AI technology to offer expert-level admissions support at a fraction of the cost of traditional services — an approach designed to address the nationwide gap in personalized college counseling.

“Our mission is to empower every student to achieve their college dream — with the power of AI,” said Julia Liang, Founder and CEO of DreamCollege.ai.

Personalized college counseling is often inaccessible, with limited availability in public schools and private services priced far beyond what most families can afford.

“Most U.S. public high schools have a student-to-counselor ratio over 400 to 1, leaving little opportunity for personalized guidance. At the same time, only about 10% of families can afford private college admission counselors, which often cost $4,000 to $20,000,” Liang added. “We’re changing that by offering the same high-impact guidance — personalized, intelligent, and strategic — to every student at scale.”

Agentic AI for the Admissions Journey

The core of DreamCollege.ai is a multi-agent system of domain-specific intelligent agents, each specializing in a different stage of the admissions journey — from major selection and college matching to essay coaching, scholarship discovery, and extracurricular planning. Working autonomously and collaboratively, these agents emulate the support of a human counselor to guide students through their application process step by step.

Key features include:

• AI-Powered Profile Assessment – Instantly highlights student strengths and gaps to guide strategic planning

• Major & College Matching – Recommends best-fit academic programs and schools

• AI Essay Tutor – Assists students in crafting compelling and authentic personal statements

• Admission Strategy Insights – Offers personalized guidance to strengthen applications

• Extracurricular & Scholarship Recommendations – Suggests targeted activities and financial aid opportunities

The platform is gaining early traction among students, families, and educators who view it as a way to make college admissions more accessible, data-driven, and equitable.

A Scalable Vision for Access and Opportunity

By automating much of the admissions workflow, DreamCollege.ai positions itself as more than a productivity tool—it’s an access equalizer. Its AI architecture enables consistent, high-quality guidance at scale, without compromising the individualized approach students need to succeed.

The company plans to continue developing its multi-agent capabilities and expand partnerships with schools and organizations aiming to close the college access gap.

What This Means

DreamCollege.ai enters the education tech space at a moment when both AI tools and college access equity are top of mind. By using agentic AI to replicate the support of a skilled counselor, the platform has the potential to bridge longstanding gaps in college readiness resources. If successful, it could shift the landscape of admissions support from exclusive and expensive to intelligent and inclusive — giving more students a fair shot at achieving their goals.
