Stori interviews you the way a consultant would, extracts your full story, and tells you exactly what to write for each school on your list. At 1/10th the cost.
The tools available online were not built for your specific profile, your specific schools, or your specific story. Scattered forums, generic essay guides and ranking lists cannot tell you what to write about yourself. Stori was built to close that gap. Consultant-quality intelligence, for students applying on their own.
Every one of these is something Stori was built to solve.
You have lived experiences that are genuinely yours. The hard part is knowing which ones matter and why. Stori's adaptive interview surfaces the thread running through your story that you probably cannot see yourself.
Not knowing where you stand is the worst feeling. Stori shows you where your profile fits and where it falls short, and tells you what you can actually do about it before you apply.
A ranking will not tell you where you will thrive. Stori matches you across 431 verified programmes based on hard eligibility and on your goals, background and what you want to walk away with.
Every school evaluates applicants differently. Stori maps your experiences to what each programme specifically values. The thing you have been dismissing might be exactly what they want to hear.
Built for students applying to masters programmes abroad on their own. No consultant needed.
Stori first filters on hard eligibility criteria including GPA, IELTS score, budget and work experience. Within that eligible set, it ranks programmes based on your goals, values and narrative fit. You get a personalised shortlist from 431 verified postgraduate programmes across 30+ countries, with a specific reason for each match. Not just a label.
The reason a good consultant is worth ₹3 lakh is not their templates. It is the hour they spend asking you the right questions, drawing out the nuance, the choices you made and why, the experiences you have been dismissing as too small. Stori's adaptive interview replicates exactly that. It has a real conversation with you, adapts to what you say, picks up on what you mention in passing, and builds your Narrative Profile from it. You do this once. Everything else on the platform is built from it.
Nia knows your full Narrative Profile and every school on your list. Ask her anything, mid-draft, mid-panic, at 1am. She will not write your essay. She will tell you exactly what to write, which experience to lead with, and why it fits that school. No billing by the hour. No waiting for a reply.
Admissions committees read thousands of AI-written essays. They are very good at spotting them. Stori's AI does something different.
Stori uses AI to run the interview, asking the right questions, pick up on nuance, and identify what is genuinely distinctive about you. It extracts your story. It does not invent one.
Stori tells you what to write and why it will land. You write the essay. Every word of your application is yours. Your voice, your story, your application. Stori makes sure it is heard.
Because Stori does not write for you, your application will not read like everyone else's. The strategy is specific to you and specific to each school. That is what gets read and remembered.

“I didn't even realise ESADE was a fit for me until Stori flagged it. It matched something specific about my background I had never thought to mention. I had this one experience from college that I kept dismissing as too small. Turns out that was exactly what the school was looking for. I would not have seen it on my own.”
Who Stori is for: Indian and international students applying to masters and MiM programmes abroad without a full-service consultant—when you want structured school matching, a narrative extracted through conversation (not generic prompts), and per-school essay strategy while you keep authorship of every essay.
A good admissions consultant in India charges ₹2 to 4 lakh for school shortlisting, narrative development, per-school essay strategy and positioning. Stori does all of it.
School matching is free. The full platform: adaptive interview, Narrative Profile, per-school strategy, recommender kit, Nia, application tracker and peer connections, is available at a fraction of that cost. Every word of your application stays yours.
The experiences are there. The reasons behind your choices are there. Stori surfaces what matters, maps it to your schools, and makes sure the people reading your application actually see it.
