Elementary · Middle (Grades 8–9)

Grades 10–11
Grades 10-11 still have a 12-18 month window to adjust. The $49 Positioning Diagnosis delivers a report you can act on — while there's still time to fix the activity line, add APs, or change targets.

What parents ask most
What is PeiPaoLab?+
A data tool for US college applications: start with the free assessment to see where you stand, then decide whether to spend money and where. We use 8 recent cycles of real admission data to inform your judgment — the decision stays yours.
Is the free assessment really free? Do I need to sign up?+
Really free — no sign-up, no email. Results in 2 minutes; an account is only needed if you want to save history.
How is this different from asking ChatGPT?+
General-purpose models give averaged answers with uncontrolled data recency, context, and provenance. Here every conclusion traces back to a specific source and timestamp, calibrated to the actual competitive density of Chinese-American feeder schools.
Why assess before hiring a consultant?+
Knowing your real position tells you whether the money is worth spending, where to spend it, and what to ask. Think of it as a checkup before you sign.
What do the paid products cost?+
Positioning diagnosis $49 (grades 9-11), application sprint pack from $49 (grade 12), post-decision rescue kit $49, long-term subscription $9/month. The assessment and data tools stay free.
Are the reports AI-written? Can I trust them?+
Reports are drafted by the Kaiso engine on cross-validated data; paid reports are then reviewed one by one by a counselor before delivery. Probability language stays in three tiers — no made-up numbers.
Which grades is this for?+
Grades 9-12 all have a use: lower grades for positioning and long-term planning, grade 12 for the application sprint, plus rescue paths after decisions. Applicants and parents can use it together.
