There are a lot of schools to choose from when applying to college

There is a lot to consider when choosing where to apply

Studies show that the top five reasons students choose a school are:

  • Affordability
  • Degree programs offered
  • Reputation / academic quality
  • Career outcomes / job opportunities for graduates
  • Value of the education for the cost

    • Other studies also show that the greater connection there is between students of high-income and low-income backgrounds, the greater chance low income students have of upward mobility. This is sometimes referred to as "social capital" and there is yet another important measurement called "economic connectedness" that shows which schools are best at this.

    While all of this information is available somewhere, how can students be expected to keep track of all of it?

    That's where we come in!

    To help students evaluate schools based on all of these considerations, our website will help you compare the most important metrics between schools all in one place, so that you can narrow your list of schools to the ones that are most likely to help you meet your career goals.

    Our College Sorter will help you compare schools based on:

  • Admissions Rates for each school
  • ACT and SAT Scores to show where you're competitive
  • Size of the School by number of undergraduates
  • Graduation Rates to show the likelihood of completing an undergraduate degree program
  • Debt for all graduates leaving the school
  • Salary two years after graduation
  • Economic Connectedness to tell you which schools offer the strongest social networks to improve your social capital
