Features
Schools That Fit Your Major
Pick your intended major and a backup, then see schools ranked by real outcomes for that field: graduate earnings vs. the national median, graduation rates, and program size. Data straight from the U.S. Department of Education.
Every School in America
Your home state's colleges load automatically, and you can search all 6,500+ accredited U.S. institutions. Fit scores compare your GPA and test scores against each school's typical admits.
A Real Plan, Not a Spreadsheet
Application checklists per school, milestone tracking from GPA to recommendation letters, a dedicated safety-school slot, and five college picks on every plan.
Essay Tracker
Upload your personal statement draft, track its status from Not Started to Finished, and get feedback from your linked tutor right in the app.
Parents and Tutors See the Journey
Students share access with invite codes. Parents and tutors see progress, read essay drafts, and message the student in-app. Access is always under the student's control.
Earn Your School's Colors
When your grades and scores reach your #1 school's typical admit profile, the app unlocks that school's colors. Below the bar? A progress meter shows exactly how far you have to go.
For Student-Athletes
The Athlete add-on matches you with programs in your target division (D1 through JUCO), tracks your highlight film, finds camps and prospect days, and drafts coach outreach emails from your real stats.
Free for Trade and 2-Year Paths
The Trade & 2-Year track is free forever, with no subscription required. Paid Bronze, Silver, and Gold packages unlock four-year university pools by selectivity.
