About Clariva:College Planning
Clariva is a free college-planning app that helps high school students find right-fit colleges and build a concrete plan to get in, the kind of guidance that usually costs thousands from a private counselor. Built by a high school student, for students who don't have access to expensive admissions help. No paywalls. No ads. No subscriptions. What's provided: • Personalized college matches : your Dream / Reach / Match / Safety list from 1,600+ colleges, based on your real GPA and test scores (works even for test-optional schools), with each school's published admission bands so you know where you stand. Prioritize the states you care about, or see "Top aid for my major." • 80+ majors across every field : engineering, computer science, business, nursing, psychology, liberal arts, pre-med, and more — with deep-fit analysis and alternative-major suggestions. Newly expanded coverage for liberal arts, business, and pre-med students: Georgetown, Emory, Boston College, Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Bowdoin, Pomona, and more. • Money finder : merit scholarships with published thresholds, WUE western tuition savings, need-based aid flags, and net price by income so you can see what families at your income level typically pay. • Early strategy : ED/EA deadlines, published early admit rates, and per-school test-policy chips (required / optional / blind). • Guidance for every grade : a 9th–10th grade roadmap, a senior-year timeline with month-by-month milestones and FAFSA/CSS Profile dates, and decision-season tools to compare award letters side by side before May 1. • AI strategy insight : a focused, personalized read on your strongest differentiator, the application move that matters most, your best financial-aid opportunity, and what to prioritize. • Gap Plan : pick your target schools and intended major (30+ majors across engineering, computer science, and pre-med / health sciences), and get a concrete action plan: research opportunities, internships, competitions, certifications, and school-specific priorities to close the gap. • Score Predictor : enter your SAT/ACT and study hours for a realistic target, a week-by-week study plan, and chapter focus areas. • Application Tracker : track status, deadlines, and a document checklist for every school, with days-remaining reminders. • Share your results : seniors can anonymously share where they got in to help next year's students. No account needed, nothing identifying collected. UPLOAD OR TYPE Upload a transcript or activities list (PDF, Excel, CSV) and Clariva extracts the relevant fields / or enter everything manually. PRIVACY FIRST Uploaded transcripts are processed in memory and are never stored. Family income, if you enter it, stays on your device for that session only and is never sent to a server. You can permanently delete your account and all data any time from the About page. A NOTE ON AI Clariva's AI features use large language models, which can occasionally be inaccurate. Always verify admit rates, deadlines, and scholarship details with each university's official site. Clariva is a planning tool, not a guarantee of admission.

Version 1.7.6 · Updated September 11, 2026
Fixes: • When you update while signed in, your saved profile and My List stay with your account, even if the first launch after the update is interrupted. If more than one account has used Clariva on this iPhone, you may be asked to enter your profile again once. • Deleting your account now removes only your own data from an iPhone that more than one student uses, and tells you if the deletion did not go through.
