The benchmark
Built on real admissions data
Our benchmarks come from published admissions data, IECA research, and patterns from admitted STEM students at top-tier schools.
Recommendations covering top STEM programs
Built for parents who've been told...
..."your kid is doing great!" — without anyone showing the actual data.
6-8th grade
Wants to start early
Knows their kid likes CS / math but has no idea what activities count, what schools want, or how to plan 5+ years out.
9-10th grade
Foundation years
Choosing AP classes, deciding on competitions, picking summer programs. Critical decisions with no road map.
11-12th grade
Reality check
Wants to know if dream schools are realistic before paying $50k for a consultant. Needs honest answers.
Common questions
Is this really free?
The diagnostic and basic report are 100% free. We may offer a paid Deep Plan (~$29) with more detailed monthly roadmaps and resource recommendations later. The free version gives you the core insights.
How accurate is the benchmark?
Our v1 benchmarks come from published IECA research, college admissions data, and patterns from admitted students. As more families use ApplyQ, the benchmark gets sharper. We're honest about uncertainty in early reports.
Will you sell my data?
Never. Your information is used only to generate your report and (if you opt in) to send you relevant tips. We don't share with universities, consultants, or any third party.
Can ChatGPT do this?
ChatGPT can give generic advice. ApplyQ gives you specific percentile data, concrete gap analysis, and recommended next actions calibrated to your kid's exact grade and target tier — the kind of thing a $5,000 consultant would produce.
What if my kid isn't sure about STEM?
That's fine — pick the closest fit. The report still helps map out a strong general academic foundation. We focus on STEM because that's where parents have the most planning anxiety.
Stop guessing. Start planning.
