How Pathwise analyzes your recruiting potential
Academic Fit
GPA, SAT, and course rigor are scored against program-specific admission thresholds across 500+ NCAA programs — from Ivy League (SAT 1540+, GPA 4.0) to accessible DI programs (SAT 1000+).
Athletic Readiness
National ranking (JNPL), competition level (NAC / Summer Nationals), and weapon specialty are evaluated against real recruit benchmarks for each target program.
Recruiting Strategy
AI classifies each school as Reach, Target, or Likely based on your GSAI score versus program thresholds — and recommends specific next actions to improve your position.
Simulation Engine
What-if modeling shows how a 50-point SAT improvement or moving from JNPL Top 30 to Top 16 changes your match category across all target schools simultaneously.
