Schools Turn to Human + AI for Personalized College Guidance — DreamCollege.ai Expands School Edition

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As college admissions grow more complex and competitive, schools face increasing pressure to deliver personalized guidance to every student. Yet school counselors often support hundreds of students, making individualized advising difficult to sustain.

DreamCollege.ai today announced the broader availability of its School Edition, a Human + AI college admissions intelligence platform designed to help schools deliver personalized guidance at scale, improve counselor efficiency, and strengthen college placement outcomes. Recent U.S. Department of Education guidance has also highlighted growing support for responsible AI use in schools, including college and career advising.

Built specifically for K–12 schools, DreamCollege.ai supports the full admissions journey by transforming student profiles into data-driven insights and tailored recommendations, including best-fit majors, balanced college lists, and application strategies. Counselors remain central to the process, applying professional judgment to guide student decisions.

“College counseling today is more complex than ever, and counselors are being asked to do more with limited time,” said Dr. Jeffrey Neill, trusted advisor to DreamCollege.ai and Director of College Counseling. “DreamCollege.ai allows us to deliver personalized guidance at scale without sacrificing quality and helps ensure every student receives meaningful support.”

Founded by Julia Liang, a Cornell MBA and former technology executive at Goldman Sachs and PNC, DreamCollege.ai was inspired by her experience navigating the college admissions process with her daughter. She later collaborated with counselors globally to design a platform that combines human expertise with AI-driven intelligence.

“Students and families need clearer, more personalized guidance than ever before,” said Julia Liang. “By combining human expertise with AI intelligence, we help students make smarter college decisions with confidence while empowering counselors to support more students without compromising personalization.”

DreamCollege.ai was recently named “College Admissions Counseling Tool of the Year” by the 2026 Worldwide EdTech Awards and continues to showcase its platform at major counseling conferences throughout 2026.

DreamCollege.ai for Schools is now available to institutions seeking to modernize and scale their college counseling programs.
