Data-driven Generative AI reaches EdTech,
seeks to accelerate applications and reform higher
education
PALO
ALTO, Calif., Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Kollegio, the AI-driven platform for college applications,
today announced its official launch to help students receive expert
guidance for the college application process. Kollegio seeks to
reinvent the college access infrastructure, creating more equitable
opportunities while simultaneously dismantling the existing
barriers that block out a majority of students from reaching top
schools. Kollegio's advanced AI tools provide personalized guidance
and expert advice to empower students to craft their best possible
applications. Capabilities range from helping students prioritize
colleges based on student career goals, GPA, and extracurricular
activities, all the way to reviewing and suggesting edits to
specific admission essays. The full launch comes on the heels of
Kollegio's recently announced $750k
pre-seed funding in June.
66% of students utilizing Kollegio's early access come from
households that earn $100,000 or less
in annual household income. The top 3 universities that these
students are seeking to apply to include Harvard, Stanford, and
Yale. A 2023 study conducted by
economists based at Harvard found that
students from the top 1% were 34% more likely to be accepted to an
Ivy League school compared to their peers with the same or similar
SAT or ACT scores. One advantage that students from more affluent
backgrounds benefit from are highly personal recommendations
provided by guidance counselors on their behalf. The average ratio
for a public school counselor is 1:400 in California.
Kollegio works alongside students during the college discovery
and application process. Personalized profiles help determine
target schools based on professional goals and grades. Students
have the option to freely write admission essays and receive
AI-provided feedback or can brainstorm using common application
prompts. Students can work on admission essays anytime and receive
support to best fit their unique schedule and work style. Data on
important deadlines, application fees, financial aid, and more is
also available from 1,600 schools to help keep students
informed.
"Kollegio was built with the guiding principle that all
students, no matter their background or circumstance, should have
the same shot at getting into their dream schools," says Kollegio
CEO and Co-Founder Senan
Khawaja.
Saeed Naeem, the CTO and
Co-founder echoed the same sentiment "No student with dreams of
pursuing higher education should be limited because their families
cannot afford the leg up that the wealthy minority can."
