Your prompt
Prompt 1: Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, please share your story.

When I was fourteen, I realized that information could be unfair. Important information were scattered across hundreds of websites, reports, and admissions pages.

Students was expected to make life-changing decisions without the tools to interpret them. I beleive tools like this help students receive honest information and make their own choices.

03 — Navora AI

Ask Navora AI. Get a data-backed answer.

Ask a question and a deterministic intelligence layer answers first — pure-computation engines for fit, readiness, testing, deadlines, financial aid and scholarship strategy compute the judgment from your file and each college's published data. No LLM invents the verdict; the model only puts it into words. Every figure is cited to your own file or to a college's published Common Data Set — never the open web, never a guess — and deterministic fallbacks mean the advisor degrades, never disappears.

CBSE student — 81% in Class XI, predicted 90% in Class XII, IELTS 7.5, SAT 1390. Am I competitive for Computer Engineering at UW–Madison?
Navora AI
Competitive Based on predicted scores

Your predicted 90% in Class XII (up from 81% in Class XI) converts to about a 3.7 GPA — just under the admitted band, and UW–Madison rates Academic GPA Very Important. IELTS 7.5 clears the 6.5 requirement. SAT 1390 sits just below the admitted median; tests are only Considered, so the upside there is limited.

Does my IELTS score improve my chances?

It clears the English requirement, so it removes a barrier — but English proficiency isn't a ranked admissions factor here. Your GPA conversion and course rigor carry the weight.

I want Computer Engineering at UW–Madison. My GPA is 3.2 and my ACT is 32 — where should I focus?

Your ACT 32 is strong — near the 75th percentile. But UW–Madison rates standardized tests only Considered. Your GPA 3.2 is 0.7 below the 3.9 admitted average, and Academic GPA is Very Important. Your strongest number sits in the factor they weight least; your weakest sits in the one they weight most.

More than any other factor here. Lifting 3.2 → 3.6 shifts you from below UW–Madison's admitted range into it for Computer Engineering — a larger gain than any realistic test increase, because GPA is weighted Very Important and tests only Considered.

Why “transparent” — and what Navora isn't

Honest by construction. No black boxes.

Sourced
Every number, traceable.
Each figure traces to a published Common Data Set or an official requirement — with the source link and the year it was reported. Nothing unverifiable, ever.
Placed, not predicted
Where you stand — honestly.
We place each score against the college's published middle 50% — above range, within range, or below — straight from its Common Data Set. Never a fabricated probability.
Contextual
Read for your system.
Your GPA on the scale your transcript actually uses — weighted or unweighted, out of 4.0 or 100 — read against your cohort, in-state or out-of-state, never the whole pool.
A predictor. We never invent admit odds or a “chance-me” score.
A rankings site. We don't sort schools by US News.
A counseling marketplace. No human counselors, no matchmaking.
Paid by colleges. No school can buy placement or visibility.
An essay mill. We help you write yours — we don't write it for you.
An open-web guesser. The advisor answers only from your file and published sources.
Enforced in code — not promised in copy
  • Four bands, never a probability. Placement output is validated at the schema boundary — likely-below / within / above cohort, or insufficient data — and a dedicated end-to-end test (no-admit-chance) blocks any deploy that would render an admit percentage.
  • Every cohort stat carries its source and year — “Vanderbilt CDS 2024–25 · C9–C12” — plus the standing caveat: published stats reflect the entire incoming class unless labeled international-only.

Just verified data, your full application file in one place, and an advisor that only answers from published sources. The product is the proof.

Start the application that fits you.

Build your profile once and let Navora transform every college's requirements into a personalized plan — built around how you've actually learned, studied, and prepared.
