Description
Education Consulting Firms/Agencies charge thousands and take commissions from universities. That's not consulting. That's a conflict of interest at scale. Rivernova fixes this structurally not just ethically. Students input their GPA, budget, career goals, preferred country, and academic profile. Our AI matches them to universities across multiple countries based on real outcome data acceptance rates, actual costs, employment outcomes, compare schools with graphs and visuals.

Could you build this?
