The college admissions process is rife with information imbalance. Colleges know everything about their admissions and financial aid formulas, but the families who are applying know very little about their student's chances of admission, and what their final college bill will be.
To level the playing field, we’ve created College Insights, a subscription-based tool covering over 2000 schools where families can look up detailed admissions information that ultimately provides clues into how colleges offer money, their admissions strategies, financial health, and more, as it pertains to YOUR student.
Check out our College Insights today!
