What students say

Real students. Real clarity.

My counselor gave me a list of 4 schools. PathIQ gave me 12 — categorized by reach, target, and safety — with actual match percentages. I found two schools I'd never heard of that were perfect fits.

Senior, Houston TX · Admitted to UT Austin

The timeline alone was worth it. I had no idea early action deadlines were in November. PathIQ laid out everything I needed to do, month by month. My parents were impressed.

Marcus J.
Junior, Atlanta GA · Targeting Georgia Tech

I'm a first-gen college student. I didn't have anyone to guide me through this. PathIQ gave me a clearer roadmap than any college counselor I talked to — and it was free.
