Personalised Fit Scoring

Set your priorities — cost, career outcomes, grad rate, campus size — and we rank every school across all 50 states for your family specifically.

Major-Level Earnings

See median earnings by degree program at every school — not just school-wide averages, but "Computer Science graduates from this school earn $X."

Every accredited 4-year university across all 50 states. Federal earnings data, net price, and graduation rates — ranked for your family's priorities.

Parent-First Design

Built around how parents think: total cost, return on investment, safety, and cultural fit — not just rankings from a magazine.
