Finally feel organized. Deadlines, essays, and my college list all live in one place instead of ten different spreadsheets.

Between school, sports and everything else, I was really burnt out. This tool helped me work smarter.

Nothing better out there. I challenge you to find some better tool than Unive. Everything else is just feedback and idea generation, very basic and high level. This tool will kill admissions consulting.

Getting better everyday, excited for what's next I'm one of the early adopters and have seen the platform progress - what a pace!

Perfect for a final review. I’ve already written all my apps, but used Unive to check everything. It provided good feedback on all my writing, flagged a few things I missed or that looked off, and, I’d say, improved the overall quality of the application

My daughter used Unive for essays and interview prep. I honestly didn’t expect much, but the results were impressive.

We tried using ChatGPT to get started, but it got repetitive and unhelpful fast. Unive’s tools are focused, smart, and feel like they were designed by people who actually went through the process. Because they were.

Working on my apps ahead of time over summer and cutting through the essays like butter - not possible with any other app.

Used it all senior fall. Got into three of my top five schools and the roadmap genuinely kept me from falling behind.

We were blown away that Unive includes 1-on-1 sessions with mentors from top schools. My daughter spoke to a Columbia grad who gave her honest feedback on her essay and helped her position her extracurriculars. Worth every cent.

Great tutor at an affordable rate. Connected with James - the mentor from MIT - over the platform and he gave me a lot of insights on what working in aerospace engineering is like in practice, reviewed my essays (some great tips there), helped me practice for my alumni interview, and suggested a few exciting internship opportunities that I could pursue even as a high schooler. Already applied 😉 Thanks James - the MVP!!

Scholarship matching alone saved us hours. Found awards we never would have searched for on our own.

Questions, answered
The important things to know before you get started.
No. Unive doesn't write your essay. It reads your draft and tells you what's working, what's weak and what to fix, the way a good teacher or counselor would. You write every word you submit. Colleges see the essay you send them, never your drafts or your conversations with Unive.
Yes, because you're the one writing it. Unive points out where the story loses the reader or where a claim needs a detail, and asks questions that pull out what you actually mean. It doesn't replace your sentences with its own. Essays that sound like a machine are the ones Unive flags.
Yes. It handles the Common App personal statement, supplemental essays, "why us" essays and the UC personal insight questions. Each is scored against what that type of essay needs to do, not one generic rubric.
A score with four parts, hook, clarity, story and impact, and specific notes tied to the sentences behind each one. You see where the opening loses attention, which paragraph drifts, and what a stronger version would do differently. Fix it, run it again, and the score updates.
A grammar checker fixes commas. ChatGPT is a general assistant that will happily write the essay for you, which is exactly what admissions offices are screening for. It will also sound vague and generic. Unive is built only for college admissions: it grades your draft against 2,447 essays from successful applicants, helps you improve your story, checks whether it reads as AI-written, and keeps your essays, prompts and deadlines for every school in one workspace.
Yes. Unive Pro includes 1-on-1 sessions with mentors from Ivy League and Oxbridge universities. They review your final draft and give personal guidance on essays, interviews and application strategy.
Two plans, Starter and Pro, billed monthly or for six months. Pro is 40% off with the code UNI40. Every plan comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee, and you can cancel any time from your account.
