Who it's for

Built for the year you're actually in

The intake asks your grade first, because a sophomore and a senior need different answers from the same data.

Grades 9–10

Set up the transcript

Which courses to take, which rigor actually counts, and how a direct-to-major program changes what you need by junior year.

Build the list

Your first real balanced list, whether to test again, and a budget check before you fall for a school you cannot afford.

Submit strategically

Submit-or-withhold per college, the ED/EA/RD timing plan against real deadlines, and essay coaching that never writes for you.

Where this goes

An offer letter you can actually say yes to

A list is only useful if the schools on it admit you and your family can afford them. That is the whole point of banding and the cost check.

Two Likelies, minimum

Every list we build includes at least two colleges where your profile sits above the admitted range, so April is never empty.

Priced before you apply

Net cost is on the card from the start. No falling for a school that was never inside your budget ceiling.

Compare, then commit

Early Decision is binding, so we only place it where the aid posture makes that promise safe to keep.

02

Interest profiler

A short vocational-interest survey maps your strengths to fields of study, so your list aligns with who you are — not just your stats.

03

The hardest call of the cycle

Send the score, or don't?

Test-optional does not mean test-neutral. The same score helps you at one college and quietly hurts you at another. We decide it per college from that college's own published score range — fixed logic, never a language model.

And if it is a University of California campus, the question does not exist: they do not look at scores at all.

Why you can trust it

The rules table is the product — not the AI.

Other tools let a chatbot guess college facts. We maintain a versioned table — test policy, application platform, essay prompts, deadlines, direct-to-major gates, in-state ratios, published admission statistics — sourced per college, per cycle, with a verification date on every row.

The language model only narrates what those rules already decided. It never invents a college fact.

We never

Quote a percentage

You get a band. A precise chance is a number someone invented.

We never

Write your essay

The coach diagnoses and directs. It will not hand you a sentence to paste.

We never

Sell or share your data

Our users are minors. No sale, no ad sharing, no third-party trackers.

We never

Train on your writing

Your essays are never used to train any model. Stated in the privacy notice.

We never

Auto-renew you

One-time purchases that expire. There is no subscription to cancel.

We never

Invent a college fact

Every deadline, policy, and price comes from a sourced, dated row.

For parents and guardians

You hold the account.

Refunds on request

No auto-renewal, ever. Our payment partner is the seller of record.

Your student signs in with an emailed code, so there is no password for a teenager to lose. You accept the terms, you complete checkout, and you can request a refund without explaining yourself. Every list is filtered against the budget ceiling you set.

Out-of-state cost is flagged before it becomes a surprise.
Ask a person to review any recommendation you disagree with.

Recommendations are automated, and we say so before you start.
