Pave is college counseling software for independent counselors, counseling firms and schools. Every student's profile, college list, essays, applications and deadlines live in one place, so you spend less time updating spreadsheets.
Free to try with full product access.
Run your whole practice in one tool: students, essays, deadlines, meeting notes and invoices. Students log in to see their own tasks and essays.
Give every counselor the same workspace and process. Anyone on the team can see a student's list, essays and next deadline.
Track each student's college list and applications across Common App, UCAS and direct applications, with tasks and reminders.
Pave is built around the admissions cycle, not a sales pipeline. These are the parts counselors use every week.
Each student has a profile, documents, meeting notes, letters, a timeline and progress reports. A new counselor can pick up a student without a handover call.
Build a list sorted into reach, target and likely schools, or let AI draft a shortlist from the student's profile and preferences. Track each application's status, decision and deadline.
Set up essays for Common App, UCAS or a specific college's prompt. Students write in Pave, you comment, and AI feedback points to weak spots.
Generate a timeline for each student, assign tasks to students or counselors, and see what is overdue. Email reminders can include a parent.
Log time against each student and turn it into an invoice. Your billing lives next to the counseling work, not in a separate tool.
A free Chrome extension for Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams. It turns a call into a meeting note with a summary and follow-up tasks in Pave.
Keep enquiries from families in a lead list, with notes from your first calls, until they become students.
Invite counselors to a shared workspace with a role each, so a firm runs every student from one place.
Message students, keep meetings on a calendar and store shared files without leaving Pave.
Spreadsheets and sales CRMs can hold names and dates. They do not know what a college list, an essay draft or an early decision deadline is.
In college advising software like Pave, those are built in. You spend less time on setup and more time with students.

College counseling software is a workspace for the admissions work counselors do with each student. It holds profiles, college lists, essays, applications, deadlines and notes in one place, instead of spreadsheets, documents and email threads.
Independent educational consultants, counseling firms with several counselors, and school counseling teams. A solo counselor and a team use the same product.
No. Students still apply through each portal. Pave is where you plan and track that work: the college list, each application's status and decision, deadlines, and essays for Common App, UCAS and school-specific prompts.
AI drafts a college shortlist from the student's profile, gives feedback on essay drafts, builds a timeline for each student, and turns recorded meetings into notes and follow-up tasks. The counselor reviews and edits all of it.
