ivyodds agent

your kid has 3 years. let's use them.

IvyOdds builds your profile starting now — finding programs, drafting outreach, and pushing one action every week. $49/mo.

$49/mo — what IvyOdds costs instead

what you get

an agent that builds your student's profile while they sleep.

everything a $5,000/year independent counselor actually does — plus things they can't — running continuously and built around your student.

Find

programs, competitions, and research — surfaced for your kid

150+ curated opportunities filtered by your student's grade, major interest, and location. Not a Google search — ranked by impact, with deadlines tracked automatically. The agent finds what fits, not what's popular.

Draft

cold emails and applications, written in your student's voice

Your student finds a research program they want to apply to. The agent drafts a cold email to the professor, using their actual activities and interests. Not a template — a real, personalized outreach message they can send in 2 minutes. Same for program applications and competition essays.

Push

one mission every week — no more "I'll do it later"

Every Monday, one specific action: "email Dr. Chen about the computational biology lab" or "submit your USACO registration by Friday." Not a todo list — a single decision, recalculated from your student's profile gaps. Parents see the mission too.

Build

a living profile that grows every semester

Activities, awards, test scores, spike narrative — everything in one place, building over time. The agent analyzes what your student has and identifies what's missing. By junior year, the profile is already built. No scramble. No blank Common App stare.

Track

readiness scoring against real college data

Four dimensions — academics, narrative, applications, financial — scored against the middle-50 of schools your student would actually target. Not universal percentiles. Not "you're behind." Just where things stand, with the specific factors driving each score.

parent and student, same workspace

You're the one paying $49/mo. You should see what's happening. Add your email, get your own login to the same workspace — shared missions, shared progress, shared opportunities. The student controls which advisor conversations you see.
