A college counselor for all four years.
Lore helps your student figure out who they are, do the work that proves it, and turn that into their strongest application. The software does the data work, and every number links to the college’s own page. It starts free.
What a four-year counselor does
Courses, direction, deadlines, essays and the money, kept in one record from freshman year to the last award letter.
One real step a month
Ten minutes inside a real job, then one small experiment a month. Each one tests what your student thinks they’d like against real work, not a quiz.
- Shift: on a hospital floor
- Shift: on the job as a site engineer
- Shift: crunch at a game studio

Freshman and sophomore year: find a direction while it’s cheap
Freshman and sophomore year are when direction is cheap to find and nobody’s looking for it. One small real-world experiment a month — a two-hour project, a conversation with someone who does the job, a competition — each one chosen to teach your student something true about themselves. By senior year, that’s not a list of activities. It’s a story with receipts.

What parents see, and what stays your student’s
Parents see deadlines, money, and progress. Essays, drafts, and exploration stay the student’s own — never shown to parents. A counselor you’ve booked can read what you share for that checkpoint, only until it’s delivered. That’s what makes the honesty real.
