In addition to guiding the application process, IvyClaw also features tools like a 4-stage course planning matrix and a dynamic GPA calculator. The platform is priced at $1,500 per year, a fraction of the cost of traditional elite consultants, and can also be integrated into educational agencies and wealth management firms to instantly scale their admissions support capabilities.
