Step 1 of 3 — Your academic profile

or enter manually

On the 4.0 scale. This is what builds your Dream/Reach/Match/Safety tiers — and it's the only academic signal we can use for test-blind / test-optional schools like the entire UC system.

Top what percent of your class you're in — enter 5 if you're in the top 5%. Several public universities publish guaranteed-admission rules based on this (Texas top 5%/10%, Tennessee top 10%), and we can only check them if you tell us. Leave blank if your school doesn't rank.

If your school weights honors/AP courses. Optional — it only refines your admit-chance %, and we can't calculate it from your unweighted GPA.

Tap the AP courses you've taken or plan to take. Add IB, dual-enrollment, or anything else below.

Activities & interests

Step 2 of 3

Shown on shared plan so readers can verify. Optional.

Check what applies; add anything else (projects, research, memberships) below.

Clariva uses this as AI input. We do NOT fetch from LinkedIn directly.

Final preferences

Step 3 of 3 — Almost there

Approximate total cost per year before financial aid. Optional.

🎯 Gap Plan

Pick the schools you're aiming at. We'll show you concrete actions to close the gap between your current profile and what those schools admit.

⚠️ AI-generated recommendations — verify before acting

Gap Plan output comes from Claude AI. Specific program names, professor identities, scholarship details, and deadlines may be inaccurate or outdated. Cross-check anything you plan to act on against the school's official admissions or program website. Clariva makes no promises about admissions outcomes.

1. Target schools (pick up to 5)

Click a college to add it. Click again to remove.

2. Intended major

🎉 You're in — now choose smart

Enter each admitted school's aid offer and compare the true out-of-pocket cost. The #1 trap in award letters: loans are not aid — they defer the bill (with interest); only grants and scholarships reduce it. Entries stay on this device for this session only.

How to read an award letter (hover any ⓘ above): 💵 Grants/scholarships = gift aid — never repaid → the only lines that lower your real cost. 🏦 Loans = borrowed — "Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized" and "Parent PLUS" lines are debt with interest, even when the letter calls them "aid." 🧑‍💼 Work-study = a campus job you'd work — earned as wages during the year, not guaranteed, and usually not applied to the tuition bill. A letter shouting "$75,000 in aid!" that is $30k grants + $45k loans really costs you the full remainder — that's exactly what this table exposes.
Before May 1: ✅ compare true cost above · ✅ appeal aid at a school you love that came in low (schools have a formal process for this — ask for a "professional judgment review") · ✅ deposit at exactly ONE school (double-depositing violates enrollment rules) · ✅ decline the others so waitlisted students get seats · ✅ never pay a deposit you can't afford to lose. Verify every number against the official award letter and the school's own cost page.

🗓 Your Timeline

What matters for your grade — a year roadmap for 9th–11th, the full application calendar for seniors.

🔭 Explore a College BETA

Pick any college and see your admission odds — and its national program rank — for every major it offers. Odds use the school's published per-major data where it exists; otherwise they rest on the school's overall admit rate. Find the major you can actually get into at the school you want. This is a new beta feature — estimates may be rough; verify with each school.

⚠️ Estimates, not guarantees

Odds and program ranks are computed from public data (U.S. College Scorecard) and your profile — they can be incomplete or wrong, and most schools admit to the college first (you declare your major later). Always verify with the school's admissions office. Clariva makes no promises about admissions outcomes.

About Clariva

An AI college-planning app for every student — the savings of a private college counselor, free for everyone.

Where your data lives

Your grades, scores and activities are not stored on our servers, and there is no setting you can switch on to change that. If you sign in, we keep only your email, your approval status, and the record that you (and a parent or guardian, if you're under 18) accepted the agreement. If you use Clariva without an account, nothing about you reaches our servers at all, and nothing is kept in this browser either: close the tab and it's gone.

One exception: the Clariva operator can enable server-side storage for an individual account, so someone who needs Clariva across two devices can have it. You cannot turn it on yourself, and turning it off deletes the stored copy. If it is on for your account, your profile is held in Google Firestore, encrypted at rest by Google and readable by Clariva.

On the web we don't even keep it in this browser unless you sign in and ask us to. A phone is personal; a computer might be shared with a classmate or a whole school. So this page starts by remembering nothing: close the tab and you'll enter your info again next time.

Only tick this on a computer that's yours. It saves your info in this browser, where anyone else using this machine could open it.

Family income is stricter still: it's never saved anywhere, not even on this device, and is cleared when you close the app.

What this is

Clariva turns the work a great college counselor does — admit-rate analysis, Common Data Set percentile bands, scholarship matching, score improvement plans, application tracking and deadline planning — into something every high school student can use, regardless of family income.

The information asymmetry in US college admissions is real. Wealthy families spend thousands per year on private counselors. Everyone else navigates blind. Clariva exists to close that gap.

Built by students

Clariva is designed and built by Tejasvi Konjeti, a high school student. She started Clariva after seeing how confusing and unequal college research is — the goal is to solve the problems students everywhere run into, so anyone looking for clear, trustworthy admissions information can get it free.

Vishwaroop Konjeti, her younger brother, is a core part of the team — he builds and tests features alongside her and helps shape what Clariva does next. From 2028 he'll lead Clariva, so the app keeps serving students long after this admissions cycle.

How we keep it free

Each AI feature (strategy advice, college tip, gap plan) costs real money — typically $0.001–$0.025 per call via the Anthropic and Firebase APIs. To prevent runaway costs, Clariva uses three engineered limits:

1.

Daily budget cap. The entire app is bounded to $25/day in AI spend across all users combined. When the cap is reached, AI features pause until midnight UTC. Non-AI features (your plan, tracker, comparison) keep working.

2.

Cheaper models by default. College tips use Claude Haiku 4.5 — about 5× cheaper than Sonnet 4.6 — with quality calibrated to the task. You can opt into the more advanced model per call when you want.

3.

Smart caching. When two students with similar profiles look up the same college, they get the same tip — generated once, served many times. The cache key auto-invalidates when your GPA, scores, or major change.

These aren't tricks to save money — they're how a free app stays free without becoming a paywall later. There is no Pro tier — keeping Clariva free for students is the founding commitment.

Your data

Not saved: uploaded transcript files (parsed in memory, then discarded — only the extracted fields like GPA, APs, and class rank are kept), family income (lives only in this browser tab), your sign-in password (Google handles sign-in — we never receive it).

On our servers: with an account, your email and account ID, your approval status, and the record that you (and a parent or guardian, if you're under 18) accepted the agreement. Not your profile — that stays on this device unless the operator has enabled storage for your account. Without an account: nothing. Request deletion any time by emailing clarivasupport@clarivaapps.com.

Never sold, never used for ads, never used to train AI models. When you use an AI feature your profile is sent to our servers to generate that response and is not stored there afterwards — sending is not the same as storing. If you share a plan link, that snapshot publishes your college list and six profile fields (weighted GPA, SAT total, ACT composite, score mode, major, state). Your activities, achievements, AP list, certifications and income are not included.

Why a student built this

The first version of Clariva was a spreadsheet I made for myself in winter 2025 to track colleges, scholarships, and what I needed to do to be competitive. Friends started asking for it. The spreadsheet became a database. The database became an app. The app should exist for every student who needs it, not just the ones who happen to know me.

If you find it useful, the kindest thing you can do is tell someone else who needs it.

⚠️ About AI content & computed estimates

Clariva uses AI to generate strategy advice, college tips, and gap plans. AI models can produce outdated information, confidently-stated factual errors ("hallucinations"), or plausible-sounding details that turn out to be wrong. Separately, your college lists, tiers, chance estimates, and program ranks are computed by our recommendation engine from public data and your profile — they are approximations, and they can be wrong too.

Always verify critical details — admit rates, scholarship eligibility, deadlines, program offerings — directly with each university's official admissions office. Clariva is a planning tool to help you think through choices. It is not an admissions service, a college counselor, or a guarantee of any outcome.

Admissions decisions depend on dozens of factors no tool can control or predict — essays, recommendations, demonstrated interest, year-to-year shifts in institutional priorities, and chance. Clariva and its developers are not responsible for admissions outcomes, financial aid awards, or scholarship decisions. Whether you're admitted is between you and the university.

✍️ Clariva does not write your essays

We used to generate essay angles and score practice interview answers. Both were removed in August 2026, on purpose. They were the only places Clariva produced writing for a student to use in a real application, which is the opposite of the verified-data promise the rest of the app makes.

Submitting AI-generated text as your own college application essay violates academic integrity at most US universities and may result in rescinded admission if discovered. The personal essay exists because admissions officers want YOUR voice and YOUR story.

The Learn page links to official writing guidance from university writing centers. Use that, draft in your own words, and ask a teacher or counselor to read it.

Help shape Clariva

Clariva is free for every student and takes no money from anyone — no paid tier, no ads, no donations. The best way to help is to send feedback and tell a friend who's applying.

🗑️ Your data & privacy controls

You're in control of your data. You can permanently delete everything Clariva stores about you — your profile, your generated plan, and any shared plan links — and your Clariva account itself. This cannot be undone.
