How Forthway works
One platform with three connected parts, built around the counselor rather than around them.
For students
- Personalized college recommendations with honest fit and mismatch reasons
- Reach, target, likely and discovery schools in one organized list
- Weekly action plans with a why, an action, and a due date
- A dynamic four-year roadmap that changes as you do
- Deadlines and progress tracking in one place
- School-specific guidance for the colleges you care about
- Ask Forthway questions answered from your own profile
For counselors
- Monitor student progress across your whole caseload
- Identify students who need attention right now
- Review and adjust student college lists
- Approve or dismiss AI recommendations before they stick
- Assign tasks and leave private notes
- Maintain human oversight of every recommendation
