Build your own college list: choose from 1,600+ schools and Clariva scores them with the same engine as your recommended plan, flagging when a list has no safety school or leans heavily toward reaches. • New detail page for every college, showing whatever that school publishes: its own stated admissions factors, recent application and offer counts, score distributions, deadlines, costs, and analysis for your major. Where a school doesn't publish something, the page says so rather than guessing. • Published admission rules: some public universities publish automatic-admission rules, like the Texas top 5% and top 10% rules. Clariva now shows those rules and whether your profile appears to meet the published criteria, along with the school's own note that such rules cover admission to the university and not necessarily to your chosen major. Always confirm with the school. • Every chance estimate now states its basis: your specific major where a school publishes major-level data, or the school's overall admit rate where it doesn't. • Updated costs for 68 schools and admission rates for 26 schools, taken from each school's own published figures. • Your application tracker now fills in automatically from your plan. Clariva's estimates are ranges based on published data, not predictions — always verify details with the school.

• New Learn tab: official planning resources — College Scorecard, College Navigator, Federal Student Aid, the Common Data Set initiative, and free Digital SAT practice. • College cards now show what each school itself says it values in admissions — essays, activities, tests, recommendations, character — straight from the school's own Common Data Set filing, for 81 schools. • College cards now show the prior cycle's admissions numbers as reported by the school: applications, admission offers, and seats filled. • Clearer labels and accuracy improvements throughout.

• Early strategy insights: Published early-round admit rates for 22 top schools, taken directly from their CDS — including how much of the class fills early and where applying early gives no rate advantage • A cost-safety check on every binding Early Decision plan, with a one-tap link to each school's official net price calculator • Smarter college matching: liberal arts colleges now appear only for the majors they actually offer • Clearer transcript and activities uploads, with guidance when a document lists weighted GPA • Renamed "Edit profile & regenerate" so it's clear your plan updates after profile changes • Fixes and reliability improvements

• 9 newly added schools for liberal arts, business, and pre-med students — Georgetown, Emory, Boston College, Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Bowdoin, and Pomona, with verified test policies, deadlines, and aid facts • Share your admissions results anonymously to help next year's students • More accurate school tiers and clearer cost, aid, and scholarship info • Fixes and reliability improvements

NEW: Seat→major pathway — for schools where your major is capped (like CS or engineering at big publics), Clariva now shows the two-stage strategy: the smarter way to get a seat first, then the published courses, GPA bar, and transfer odds to earn your major once you're enrolled. Look for the chip on college cards, then open Explore for the full pathway. Real published requirements only — with honest odds, never false promises. A cleaner plan screen — the header is leaner so your colleges appear higher on the screen, with Dream/Reach/Match/Safety counts now right on the filter tabs. Fixes and polish: • The school search box no longer hides behind the keyboard • Easier navigation: back buttons added on Timeline and Decide Free for every student. No paywalls, no ads.

Clariva now works for EVERY major — not just STEM! 73 majors across 11 fields (up from 32): Physics, Astronomy & Astrophysics, Math & Statistics, Business, Finance, Economics, Psychology, Nursing, Political Science, Pre-Law, English, History, Education, Music, Film, Game Design, Architecture, and more — plus an honest "Undecided / Exploring" option. Your plan now follows your major. Pick a new major and your college list reorders around programs that are actually strong in YOUR field, with real median-earnings data for your major at each school. Where we don't have data yet, we say so — we never show you another major's numbers. Honest nursing odds. Direct-admit BSN programs at big public universities are far more selective than the school's overall admit rate — your chances now reflect the program's real selectivity, not the university's. Better odds at test-blind schools. At schools that don't consider SAT/ACT (like the UCs), your chances are now anchored to the admitted class's actual GPA — so a strong GPA properly moves your numbers. Also fixed: college lists reorder correctly when you change majors, and per-major earnings display accurately for pre-med students. Free for every student. No paywalls, no ads.

Your college plan just got a full journey upgrade! NEW: Your Timeline — pick your grade (9th–12th) and see exactly what matters this year.

NEW: Decide — got acceptances? Enter each award letter and see the TRUE cost side by side. We only subtract grants and scholarships (loans are not aid!) and warn you when an "award" is mostly loans. NEW on your college cards: • Test policy — see which schools require, ignore, or accept SAT/ACT, and how that changes your odds • Honors college badges — a strong honors program at a Match can beat a Reach • Automatic merit scholarships — "your stats qualify" alerts, plus WUE reduced tuition for Western states • Essay workload — how many extra essays each school requires, and your list's total Also improved: • All your tools now visible at a glance on the plan page — no more sideways scrolling • Clearer money labels: "Median grad pay" (what graduates earn) vs "Cost (COA)" (yearly sticker price before aid) • Early Decision/Action strategy list now loads reliably for everyone • Clearer wording throughout the app and our policies Free for every student. No paywalls, no ads.

NEW — Early Strategy Where should your one Early Decision go? See how much applying ED, EA, or REA moves YOUR odds at each school — using real published early-round admit rates (in-state vs out-of-state where schools split them), sorted by your biggest gain.
