Ayan Gupta
Founder & College Advisor
I started advising in college, when friends and family began calling about their kids. Those calls turned into a WhatsApp community of several thousand where I shared advice for several years.
Across that community and a few hundred one-on-one sessions, the pattern was clear: about 80% of college counseling is the same guidance repeated, and only 20% is truly specific to the student. Admission Yogi gives you that 80% for a fraction of private-counselor pricing, allowing you to spend when it comes time for the 20%.
I am earning a college counseling certification from UCLA, studied computer science at the University of Washington, and work in developer relations at Microsoft and GitHub. My belief: high school prepares you with the skills to succeed anywhere — not to chase a name on a diploma.

What families ask first.
A counselor builds the plan and meets families in monthly office hours. Between those, the app keeps track of what's due and what's next. You still make the decisions.
No. By 11th grade the transcript is mostly written and there isn't much time left to build an activity. In 9th and 10th you can still change both.
None are expected in 9th. By the end of 10th, about two AP-level courses puts a student on a strong track.
No. Every score is measured against the schools you picked and the grade your child is in now. We never compare a 10th grader to a finished senior.
Most families don't. You can add one-to-one sessions if you want them, but nothing in the product is locked behind that.
Tell us. The free tier is genuinely useful on its own, and we set aside scholarships every year.
