AdvisorCore

Applying to college means juggling deadlines, essays, test scores, and a dozen schools that all want something slightly different. AdvisorCore keeps all of it in one place — and tells you where you actually stand.

Add your grades, test scores, and activities once. From there, every college on your list gets rated against your real profile, not generic averages.

SEE WHERE YOU STAND AT EVERY SCHOOL

Search 6,000+ U.S. colleges using official Department of Education data. Each school you add is rated Reach, Target, or Safety based on your GPA, your best SAT or ACT, and how you compare to that school's admitted range — not a one-size-fits-all cutoff.

The rating accounts for the things that actually matter: middle-50% score ranges, test-optional policies, and whether you're applying out-of-state to a public university, where non-residents face tougher odds than the headline admit rate suggests.

You'll also see what each school reports that it weighs — essays, class rank, recommendations, test scores — straight from federal data. It's a useful way to know where a strong essay can move the needle and where it won't.

BUILD A LIST THAT MAKES SENSE

AdvisorCore watches your list as a whole and speaks up when something's off: no safety schools, nothing in the target range, or eight reaches and not much else. You get specific, honest feedback while there's still time to fix it.

KEEP EVERY DEADLINE STRAIGHT

A full calendar with month and week views, plus tasks, events, and deadlines that can each link to several schools at once. Swipe to complete or delete, set reminders, and see overdue items at a glance. Add typical application dates in one tap as a starting point, then verify each one against the college's site.

MAKE YOUR ACTIVITIES COUNT

Log your clubs, sports, jobs, volunteering, research, and personal projects. Each one gets a strength estimate based on how admissions readers actually think about activities — level of achievement, leadership role, hours, and years of commitment. Categories are scored fairly: a school club is judged as a school club, and a part-time job is measured by responsibility, not by trophies.

Star your best ten for the Common App, and get honest suggestions on where your profile is thin — depth versus breadth, missing leadership, or an activities list that doesn't tell a clear story.

ASK YOUR ADVISOR

Tap a question and get an instant answer drawn from your own data: Is my list balanced? Where do I stand academically? What should I focus on right now?

On supported iPhones, you can also chat freely with an assistant that runs entirely on your device. Prefer ChatGPT or Claude? Export a formatted summary of your profile and paste it into whichever assistant you already use.

YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE

No account. No sign-up. No ads. Everything you enter is stored on your device and nowhere else — the only thing ever sent over the internet is the name of a college you search for. Lock the app with Face ID, and export a backup whenever you want.

FREE, WITH NO CATCH

Every feature is free. There's no subscription, no premium tier, and nothing is held back.

AdvisorCore is an organizing tool, not a college counseling service. Ratings and scores are estimates from public data and can't predict admissions decisions. Deadlines shown in the app are not official — always confirm them on each college's website, and check with your school counselor before making big decisions.
