Questions

Does it predict whether my student will get in?

No. It compares your student’s scores and GPA with the ranges each college publishes. It doesn’t predict admission decisions.

Is the data current?

Each fact shows the date we checked it. Deadlines were last checked 2026-10-09. Colleges change their pages, so confirm important dates on the college’s own site; every fact links to it.

What if a college is missing something?

The app says “not on file” instead of guessing.

Does the pass renew?

No. It is a one-time payment for 30 or 90 days. If less than half of the period has passed, we refund half the price.

Who can buy it?

A parent or guardian, or a student who is 18 or older. The account holder must be 18+, and the student may use it.

What happens to my student’s information?

Our privacy policy says what we store and how it is used.

How did you time “about 19 seconds”?

Scripted browser on the live app with a test student, from opening the search page to the tenth college saved: three filters (state, public or private, admit rate band), then Add to list on ten results. Three runs, median reported. The script clicks without reading, so it counts waiting for the app and not time spent reading cards. Date measured: 2026-10-20. Runs: 23, 19, 19 seconds. Your time will depend on how long you spend reading.

Deadlines, essay prompts, AP credit and how to apply to a major come from the college’s own pages, saved and quoted word for word (deadlines last checked 2026-10-09; Common App essay prompts 2026-10-19). Net price, graduation rates, earnings and enrollment come from the U.S. Department of Education (College Scorecard and IPEDS). Admitted GPA and test ranges and the share of need met come from each college’s Common Data Set, with its year shown; we link 677 colleges’ sets.
