Why Avanza exists.
Avanza Advisors SL is based in Barcelona. We have built a student-centered solution, UniTrak, for students applying to university.
Two students of equal promise arrive at the application year with unequal support. One has a counselor who knows how the application platforms work. The other is assembling it alone, often in a second language, often alongside exams, often as the first person in their family to do it. What separates them is rarely advice about where to apply. It is the administration.
We believe that part should not decide who gets in. Knowing what each university requires, when, and in what order, and keeping hold of it for a year, is learnable and repeatable. UniTrak takes it on, so the hours a student has go to the essays and the exams instead.
We believe the plan belongs to the student. UniTrak is bought by the student rather than by a school or a district, which is what reaches a student whose school has bought nothing.
We believe the price should not be the barrier. A student who says at sign-up that the price is a barrier uses UniTrak free, funded by the paid subscriptions rather than by a grant cycle.
