How The Formula Works
📐Formula: Needed = (Target − Current × (1 − Weight)) / Weight
💡If your exam is worth 20% and you currently have an 84%, your pre-exam work contributes 80% of your final grade.
📈If the needed score exceeds 100%, reaching your exact target is mathematically impossible — but you can still maximize your grade.

Profile Picture

Built by a Student,
for Students

Scholark was created by Shriyan Avadhanula as an independent, student-built, non-commercial educational project. It is not an incorporated company, business, or employer, and it is not revenue-generating. The platform exists to provide free college-planning and academic-support tools for students.

The Story

Every college prep tool online was either buried behind a signup form, littered with irrelevant ads, or just plain ugly. The ones that were good cost money. So I built Scholark — a clean, fast, actually useful set of calculators that every student deserves for free.

What started as a personal GPA tracker for my own IB coursework grew into a platform used by more than 10,000 students each month.

About the Creator

I'm Shriyan Avadhanula, an 11th-grade student in Henrico High School's full IB Diploma Programme, with a 3.95 unweighted GPA and a 4.5+ weighted GPA. I build at the intersection of technology, finance, cybersecurity, and entrepreneurship—usually by turning a complicated system into something people can actually use.

Beyond Scholark, I founded the patent-pending DataShadow platform, co-founded the ATHENA athlete-intelligence research platform, created the privacy-first DinkSense coaching app, and publish an annual Cyber Risk Intelligence Report. ATHENA's models have been validated across 27,548 athletes and 155,109 real-world race records.

I've completed 22 certifications and career credentials, including finance job simulations from JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs and technology credentials from IBM, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Salesforce. I also study live-style M&A analysis through Partner-level mentorship and compete as a sponsored junior pickleball athlete.
