Counselor PippLaunching soon · Beta pilot
A counselor you can actually talk to.All season.
Not a blank chat box. Counselor Pipp starts from your schools, deadlines, essays, activities and plan, shows what it read, and answers concretely, with a next step.
October · 12 days to the early deadline
Stanford is due in 12 days and I still have two supplements open. What should I finish first?
Reading your workspace: Stanford · Restrictive Early Action, Nov 1 · verified, Why Stanford · 120 of 250 words, Your plan · 3 open tasks
Your Stanford Restrictive Early Action deadline is November 1, and PeerPath has it verified. Of your three open essays, Why Stanford is due first and is the furthest from its limit: 120 of 250 words. The two supplements are due later in November.
Next step: Finish the Why Stanford draft first. It is the task in your plan that is due soonest.
Is it specific enough now?
To judge that draft I need a current Pipp Review of it, and this version has none. Run a Standard Review in Essays and I can answer from its findings. In general, a why-us essay is specific when it names something only this school offers and ties it to work you have already done. (Why Stanford · no current Review)
Counselor Pipp is launching soon.
An example conversation with a fictional student. No real student data. Counselor Pipp is in a closed pilot and launching soon.
All season
The same counselor in September and in January.
The questions change every month. Counselor Pipp answers each one from where your workspace stands that day: your list, your drafts, your deadlines, your plan.

Example conversations with a fictional student.
Context
It starts from where you are.
Ask a question and it reads what matters to that question: this school, its deadline, the tasks in your plan. Nothing to paste in, nothing to re-explain.
- Only what is relevant to the question, never the whole workspace.
- Each answer shows what it read, and says when something is not on record.
“What should I finish before my Stanford deadline?”
One question pulls what it needs, never your whole file.
Separate by design
Conversations live outside your application file.
Counselor conversations live in their own store, separate from the workspace where your application lives. Reading goes one way: Counselor Pipp reads your context, and nothing changes in your application unless you choose to add a step to your plan.

Yours to control. The history is yours to keep or to clear, on your terms.
It survives a pause. If your free trial or a pass ends, your conversations stay: you can read or delete them anytime.

October · late night
Is the Michigan deadline really October 29?
PeerPath has October 29 for Michigan Early Action, but that date is not verified yet. Confirm it on Michigan’s admissions page before you plan around it. (Michigan · date not verified)
Understand the student
A counselor that reads your context and talks your application through with you.
Counselor Pipp is launching soon, with 5 free days for every student from their first question. See pricing
What it will not be
It counsels an application, not a life. Heavy things deserve people, and PeerPath keeps real ones close: mentors who sat exactly where you sit, and the small team building this, who you can actually reach.
It will talk a decision through with you for as long as you need, and write none of it for you. Your application, your words. Essays only work that way.
It never estimates your chance of getting in. It can say how selective a school is, from PeerPath’s school data, and nothing more about you.
For feedback on a specific draft it needs a current Pipp Review of that draft. Essay text pasted into the chat is not judged: save it in Essays and run a Review.
My rules, in writing. Hold me to them.
Start today
It will start from what you already keep.
Counselor Pipp starts from the workspace you can use free today. Add schools, draft essays, log activities: every card you fill in is context it starts from.
