What every report covers

Six lenses on every school

We pull from official IPEDS data, college websites, current student forums, and recent news, then condense it into the sections that actually drive decisions.

Admissions difficulty

Acceptance rate, test policy, average GPA, what they really look for in essays, and ED vs RD odds.

True cost

Sticker price, average aid package, net cost by income bracket, and whether they meet full need.

Campus culture

Greek life weight, party scene, political climate, religious presence, and the social vibe in plain English.

Academic strengths

Standout programs, undergraduate research access, class sizes, and where this school punches above its weight.

Student experience

Housing quality, food, mental health resources, town vs city, and what students complain about most.

Career outcomes

Top employers, median starting salary, grad-school placement, and which majors actually return ROI here.
