Solyo walks with you through all four years.

Solyo is an AI college counselor for busy parents of high school students. Each stage brings a new worry, and Solyo has an answer ready, built from your school's emails and each college's own published data.

A college counselor in your pocket, at every step, any hour.

  1. High school dashboard

    Know what's going on, without chasing it.

    Forty emails a week, and the one grade that matters is buried.

    Every school email is sorted the moment it lands: assignments, grades and a real-time GPA, weighted and unweighted. School events, activities and doctor appointments magically appear on your calendar, in Solyo or in Google Calendar.

    Ask Solyo
    Anything I should know today?
    One thing. Chemistry dropped from an A- to a B. Everything else is on track.

  2. College selection

    Know where your teen stands at every school.

    Is this school a reach or a safety?

    Every school on your list gets a clear band: safety, target, reach or unlikely, based on your teen's grades, GPA and each college's admissions data. You see the reasons behind each one, not just a number.

    Ask Solyo
    Is Davis realistic?
    UC Davis is a Reach with your 3.7 GPA. A 3.9 would move it to Target.

  3. College applications

    A personalized plan, every deadline, step by step.

    Early Decision, Early Action, essays, deadlines. All at once.

    One plan, from the first campus visit to the acceptance letter. Each school's deadlines and what to do when, all organized.

    The UCs have no early round. One application opens Aug 1 and is due Nov 30.

  4. Financial aid and scholarships

    Understand the real price, and find the help.

    The sticker price isn't the price. But which is?

    Need-based and merit aid in plain words, including which colleges actually give merit aid. Plus 300+ vetted scholarships, with your teen's odds of winning each one. FAFSA, CSS Profile and applications: what to file, and by when.

    Ask Solyo
    What does the FAFSA actually change?
    It sets your aid index. Most families see a net price well below the sticker. File it in October.

Stay informed without guessing.

Solyo is built for parents who want to know their teen is on track, not to referee every quiz. A slipping grade surfaces right away. You see everything that actually matters.

Ask Solyo
What are the best public schools for finance in California?
Berkeley first, ranked 6th in the country for finance. Then Cal Poly SLO and UC Irvine. San Diego State is the safety on that list.

Questions parents ask

PowerSchool already emails me grades. Why Solyo?

PowerSchool sends one email per grade, into the same inbox as everything else. Solyo files them by class, keeps the GPA up to date in real time, and tells you only when something changes.

My kid is only in 9th grade. Is it too early?

Freshman year grades appear on every college application, and a rough start is harder to recover from than most families expect. Solyo helps you catch a slipping grade early, while there is still time to fix it.

We already pay a counselor. How is Solyo different?

A counselor meets you a few times a year. Solyo keeps up with the grades every day and answers questions at 11 p.m. Many families use both.

How does Solyo get grades? Does it log in to the school portal?

No. It syncs the grade emails the school already sends you, through the one-click Gmail integration.

What does "college match" actually mean?

Each school on your list gets a band: safety, target, reach or unlikely. You also see what's behind it, such as GPA and course rigor, so it is never a mystery number.

What is free, and what is paid?

The tools are free. The dashboard, the real-time GPA, the calendar, the plan and the counselor are on the Personal and Family plans, each with a 7-day free trial.
