The problem
Planning your future shouldn’t feel like a second job.
Everything is scattered
Internships on one site, volunteering on another, scholarships in a PDF your counselor emailed once in October.
Real guidance costs a fortune
Private counselors run $150–300 an hour. Most families never get to ask someone who's actually been through it.
Nobody tells you what matters
Pick a major, build a resume, find a mentor, apply to ten things by Friday — with no sense of what's worth your time.
What you get
Three tools. One real plan.
How it works
From “no idea” to a real plan.
Build your profile
Grade, interests, location, and how far you'll travel. Four minutes.
Get matched
Your feed fills with real programs, scored against your actual profile.
Apply with confidence
Every listing links straight to the official application page.
Build your future
Track deadlines, save favorites, watch the plan come together.
From students like you
It’s working for people who felt just as stuck.
“I'd bookmarked maybe six different sites trying to find research programs. PathAhead put everything in one feed and actually ranked them by how well they fit me — I found my summer lab program in twenty minutes.”
Asha R.
11th grade, considering Biology & Public Health
“I took the major quiz mostly as a joke and it actually nailed it. I'd never have thought to look at Data Science until it showed up next to Econ and CS on my results.”
Marcus T.
10th grade, undecided major
“Booking a session with a Wharton mentor for $65 was so much cheaper than the consultants my friends were paying. She rewrote how I was thinking about my whole essay, not just the wording.”
Devon L.
12th grade, applying to business programs
“As a parent, the dashboard is what sold me — I can see my daughter's saved opportunities and actually have informed conversations at dinner instead of guessing what she's working on.”
Priya N.
Parent of a 9th grader
