Built by a student
who needed this herself

During her junior year, Elise was overwhelmed by the college application process. The tools that existed either cost money, required accounts, or gave generic advice that ignored her actual financial situation.

She decided to build what she wished existed — free, honest, data-driven tools that show real costs, real odds, and real opportunities.

"Harvard costs less than UCLA out-of-state for many families — but most students never apply because they assume they can't afford it. CollegeCompass shows the real numbers."

The Compass Family is her answer to a $5,000 college counselor — free, for everyone.
