Hourly rate for private counselors AdmitPath replaces
AdmitPath scores high-school applicants across the 7 dimensions admissions officers actually use (academic rigor, leadership, awards, activity depth, spike, essay quality, recommendations), generates a prioritized action plan, and provides a 24/7 AI counselor for the 95% of US families who can't afford a $200–500/hr private counselor.
The college-admissions market is bifurcated. Wealthy families hire $20,000+ private counselors. Everyone else relies on overstretched school counselors (US average: 464 students per counselor) and contradictory Reddit threads. AdmitPath gives the other 95% professional-grade strategic feedback at a price a high-school student can pay out of a part-time job.
The 7-dimension scoring framework is calibrated against the published Common Data Set Section C7 admissions-factor weightings of 40 top US colleges. Per-school overlays adjust the default weights for schools where we have school-specific CDS data. Methodology is publicly documented at admitpath.ai/methodology.
Free plan: 5 profile analyses, 5 essay reviews, 5 counselor chat messages, 8 saved colleges. Pro: $19.99/mo for unlimited access including AI counselor chat and personalized action roadmap. Annual plan available ($199/yr). 3-day full-feature trial reverts to the free plan automatically.
AdmitPath is a college admissions counseling platform that scores high-school applicants across the 7 dimensions admissions officers actually evaluate: academic rigor, leadership, awards, activity depth, spike, essay quality, and recommendations. Each dimension is scored 0–100 and calibrated against Common Data Set Section C7 admissions-factor weightings from 105 US colleges. The platform provides a prioritized action plan, line-by-line essay feedback, a college list builder, and a 24/7 AI counselor — giving the 95% of US families who can't afford a $200–500/hr private counselor access to the same quality of strategic guidance. Free plan available; Pro plan is $19.99/mo.
