Question 1

Why can I not just use ChatGPT for my masters application?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT does not know you. You give it a prompt, it gives you a paragraph that sounds like everyone else who used the same prompt. It has no knowledge of what your specific schools are evaluating this year and no way to identify what is genuinely distinctive about your background. Stori is not a writing tool. It extracts your story through a real conversation, identifies what is strategically important about it, and maps it to each school's specific evaluation criteria. You write the essay. Stori tells you what to write and why it will land. Your application stays authentically yours.

Question 2

Will Stori write my essays for me?

Accepted Answer

No, and that is the point. Stori tells you what to write, which angle to take, and why it fits that specific school. You write the essay. Admissions committees read thousands of applications and are very good at spotting AI-written essays. Stori makes your application more specifically and distinctively yours, not less.

Question 3

How does school matching work?

Accepted Answer

Stori first filters on hard eligibility criteria including GPA, IELTS score, budget and work experience. Within that eligible set, it then 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. School matching is free. No card required.

Question 4

What is the adaptive interview and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

It is a 20 to 40 minute AI-driven conversation, not a form. Stori asks about your experiences, your choices, your turning points and your goals. It adapts based on what you say and goes deeper into what matters. It is built with the same intelligence a consultant uses in their first session, drawing out the nuance and context that makes your story yours. You do it once. Everything on the platform is built from it.

Question 5

How is Stori different from other study abroad platforms?

Accepted Answer

Most platforms help you search programmes, check admit statistics and connect with peers. That is useful for discovery. Stori picks up where discovery ends. It is the only platform that runs an adaptive interview to extract your narrative, builds a per-school strategy from it, and tells you specifically what to write in your application for each programme. School matching, narrative profile, essay strategy, recommender kit, application tracker and peer connections, all in one place, built for students applying on their own.

Question 6

Why not just hire a consultant?

Accepted Answer

You should, if you can afford ₹2 to 4 lakh. Consultants are excellent. Stori exists for the majority of students applying on their own who cannot access that. The quality of strategic output is comparable. The cost is not.

Question 7

Is school matching really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. No card required. Stori filters on eligibility first, then ranks on narrative fit. You get a personalised shortlist from 431 verified programmes with a specific reason for each match.

Question 8

When is Stori launching and how do I get the early offer?

Accepted Answer
