From intake to acceptance-ready plan
Four clear steps. Every recommendation traces back to a verified rule — not a guess.
Structured intake
You answer a structured set of questions about the six inputs that drive every recommendation:
- Grade point average (GPA) & course rigor — your transcript and AP/IB/Honors courses
- Standardized test scores — SAT, ACT, or test-optional status
- Home state & citizenship — drives in-state tuition and residency rules
- Budget ceiling — what your family can actually afford
- Intended field of study — your major or area of interest
- Grade level — grades 9 through 12, each with different timing
A band computed without home state, citizenship, budget, and intended field of study is wrong. These inputs are non-negotiable.
Vocational-interest profiler
A short, research-backed interest survey maps your natural strengths and preferences to fields of study. This isn’t a personality quiz — it’s a vocational alignment tool that ensures your college list fits who you are, not just your statistics.
Your profiler results feed directly into the field-of-study recommendations in your full report, and they shape which colleges appear on your list — especially schools with direct-to-major admission gates.
The intake and interest profiler are completely free. You get a preview before you ever decide to pay for the full report.
Your free preview
After the intake and profiler, you immediately see a preview of your results:
- A sneak peek at recommended fields of study
- A sample of your Reach, Target, and Likely bands
- An overview of what the full report unlocks
No credit card required. The preview is designed to show you the shape of your strategy so you can decide whether the full report is worth it.

The essay coach
A separate paid module that coaches your application essays — section by section — until they meet a defined quality bar.
Section-by-section feedback
Each section of your essay gets targeted feedback on structure, specificity, voice, and alignment with the prompt.
Repeats until it passes
The coaching loop repeats until your essay meets a defined quality bar. You revise, it re-evaluates, and you iterate.
It coaches — never writes
The essay coach will never produce a sentence a student could paste into an essay. It tells you what to improve, not what to write.
University of California (UC) campuses do not consider test scores at all and do not use the Common Application. They have their own application with four Personal Insight Questions (PIQs). University Application Guide handles all of this automatically.
