My journey with Admitiy began with a problem I was experiencing myself.
As a high school student preparing for my own university journey, I found that information about admissions was everywhere, but rarely in one place. Universities had different requirements, scholarships were scattered across different websites, extracurricular opportunities were difficult to discover, and it was hard to understand whether my own profile was competitive. At the same time, personalized admissions guidance could be expensive and inaccessible to many students.
Instead of simply accepting this as part of the process, I started thinking: What if a student could have one platform that actually understood their profile and told them what to do next?
That question became the starting point for Admitiy.
I initially began by building smaller tools to solve problems I personally faced. One of the first ideas was an SAT mistake analyzer that could identify why a student got a question wrong and help them improve. As I worked on it, I realized that test preparation was only one part of the larger problem. Students needed guidance across their entire academic and university journey.
That led me to expand the project into Admitiy, an AI-powered student success and university admissions platform.
Today, Admitiy brings together multiple tools, including an AI Profile Scorer, University Discovery, Scholarship Finder, Extracurricular Finder, AI Roadmap Maker, SAT Mistake Analyzer, Personalized SAT Practice, and a Common App Simulator. The goal behind all of them is the same: help students understand where they are, discover where they can go, and know what to do next.
Building Admitiy has also been a learning experience for me as a student founder. I did not begin with extensive experience in software development or entrepreneurship. I learned by building, experimenting, using AI-assisted development, fixing problems, testing ideas, and continuously improving the product. AI allowed me to turn ideas into working features much faster while teaching me how products are actually built.
One of my biggest lessons has been that building a product is not just about technology. A technically functional product means little if it does not solve a real problem. I learned to think about user experience, trust, communication, feedback, and whether each feature genuinely provides value.
Getting people to notice and engage with a student-built platform has also been challenging. I began reaching out to schools, universities, coaching institutes, and other organizations to introduce Admitiy, seek feedback, and explore potential collaborations. This taught me that entrepreneurship requires persistence even when there is no immediate response.
There are still major challenges ahead, particularly around maintaining reliable admissions data, improving AI personalization, building trust, and creating meaningful partnerships.
But that is what excites me about Admitiy. I don't see it as just a website I built in high school. I see it as the beginning of a much larger vision: making high-quality, personalized student guidance accessible to students everywhere.
I started Admitiy because I was a student looking for better answers. Now, I want to build the platform I wish I had when I started my own journey.
