The Cambridge University graduate declared that "you can be an academic badass and a track goddess" after winning a surprise silver medal at last year's World Athletics Championships in Tokyo and hopes to mentor other athletes applying to both Oxford and Cambridge universities.
Hunt told Olympics.com: "There are so many girls that message me every single day.
"I love to reply to as many as I can, especially those that are trying to go through the Oxbridge system. I'm a big proponent for getting more people through that.
"I'll always say, 'Just give me a call and we'll have a chat over everything', because the interview is so unlike anything else you'll ever do.
"I've helped a couple of girls get into Cambridge now and some of them I'm now really close friends with."
The Team GB athlete added: "I'm trying to make more doors open for more people coming up behind me.
"Talking about it opens it up a lot more and enables a lot more girls from an athletic background to be able to get there.
"It's really lovely to see more girls be emboldened and empowered to do that. To be able to do two things at the top of the UK is incredible and more girls should have that option."
Hunt's profile has soared since her medal win in Tokyo last year but she revealed that she has turned down a number of glitzy events to focus on her athletics.
The sprinter – who will be in action at the World Indoor Championships in Poland this weekend – said: "The amount of things I've said no to in the last six months is insane. Things I would never dream of turning down.
"A lot of movie premieres, like the Peaky Blinders premiere the other week. Super Bowl parties in London. London Fashion Week stuff.
"But these events, Fashion Week, Oscars, whatever, they come around every single year. Whereas the Olympics, a home European Championships (in Birmingham this summer), they don't come around every single year.
"I'm so focused on upgrading that silver into a gold that it doesn't really feel like a sacrifice to me. I don't really feel sad that I'm turning certain events down."
