What our users have to say
Before OpenAdmit, I had no idea how to turn my love for science fairs into a standout application. Athena helped me find mentors who had competed at ISEF and STS—just like I dreamed of doing. I got real project ideas, feedback, and even inspiration line-by-line from successful essays. It felt like having unlimited coffee chats with people who truly understood me.
Rishi
Freshman
My school counselor was responsible for over 400 students, so I felt lost. OpenAdmit became the counselor I never had. Athena helped me shape my story, choose courses that aligned with my goals, and discover meaningful extracurriculars I could start from scratch. I couldn’t believe something this personalized existed at this price.
Aayush
Sophomore
We couldn’t afford $7,000 for a private college counselor, but we wanted the best for our daughter. OpenAdmit gave her access to mentors, essay feedback, and a smart AI that guided her through every step of the process. It’s not just cheaper—it’s smarter, more personal, and actually uplifting.
Aparna
Parent of high schooler
I was into filmmaking, climate activism, and neuroscience—and had no idea how to tie it all together. With OpenAdmit, Athena recommended mentors who had walked similar paths and helped me brainstorm a passion project that reflected all my interests. I finally felt seen—and supported—in this process.
