What's New in Clariva

1.7.2

August 28, 2026

• 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 and admission rates, 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.

Helpful for High-schoolers like me!

I tried it and it opened my eyes to the different possibilities and chances I had in different colleges and universities and it looked at my profile and transcript and it counted everything and I liked the “Aid” feature and the possibility based on the selected major for the colleges/universities. Good recommendation for other high-schoolers like me and waiting on new features to come out

FAQ

What is Clariva's approach to college matching?

Clariva provides personalized college matches based on your GPA and test scores, categorizing them into Dream, Reach, Match, and Safety lists. It considers over 1,600 colleges and allows prioritization by state or by 'Top aid for my major'.

How does Clariva help with the application process?

Clariva offers an AI strategy insight to identify your strongest differentiator and application moves. It also provides a Gap Plan with concrete actions, a Score Predictor for standardized tests, and an Application Tracker for deadlines and documents.

How does Clariva handle user data and privacy?

What are the limitations of Clariva's AI features?

Clariva's AI features use large language models, which can occasionally be inaccurate. It's important to always verify admit rates, deadlines, and scholarship details with each university's official site, as Clariva is a planning tool, not a guarantee of admission.

What majors does Clariva support for the Gap Plan?

Clariva supports over 30 majors across engineering, computer science, and pre-med/health sciences for its Gap Plan feature. This helps students create a concrete action plan tailored to their intended field of study.
