Ten quick questions, cost, state, school type, programs, size, setting. Your answers pre-fill the search filters and you land on the real list of U.S. colleges that match. No black-box recommendation.
Admission Tier Estimator
Reach, Match, or Likely? Enter your SAT or ACT and a school's published 25th–75th-percentile admitted range, get the counselor-standard tier classification. No probability claims.
Financial Aid Award Letter Analyzer
Paste up to four aid offers. See standardized net price, gift-aid percentage, loan burden, and a four-year cost projection side by side. Federal net-price methodology. Nothing saved.
GPA Calculator
Add your courses, credits, and grades, get an unweighted or weighted GPA out to two decimals, ready to drop into Common App.
SAT ↔ ACT Score Converter
Convert between SAT and ACT composite scores using the College Board / ACT concordance tables. Useful when comparing test-optional / test-required school ranges.
Student Debt by College
Median federal debt at graduation shown together with the share of students who actually borrow, because either number alone is misleading. Filter by state and school type.
Net Price by Family Income
Pick your family income band, state, and type of school, then see what students at that income actually paid after grants at real institutions, drawn from the federal net-price series.
Not sure which one you need?
Each tool answers a different question, and a few of the questions students bring here are better answered by the search and filters than by any calculator.
