Welcome to your student portal
Let's set up your profile so Steven can personalize your college plan. This takes about 2 minutes.
Your privacy is protected. Most college search tools are free because they sell your data to colleges and advertisers. We charge a small fee instead — so your information is never sold, shared, or used to target you. Ever.

Net Price Estimator
Get a rough estimate of what college may actually cost your family after financial aid. These are estimates only based on sticker price and general aid patterns — the actual cost your family pays can be dramatically different. Always use each school's official Net Price Calculator.
Your family's information
Annual family income
School type preference
Student GPA
⚠️ Please read before using these estimates
These figures show sticker prices minus estimated aid based on broad income brackets and general financial aid patterns. They are not predictions. Your actual cost depends on your complete financial picture — assets, savings, number of siblings in college, home equity, and each school's unique aid formula.
Schools with large endowments (especially Ivies and top LACs) often cost far less than their sticker price for middle- and lower-income families. A $85,000 sticker price school may cost less than a $40,000 sticker price school once aid is applied.
Next steps: Complete the FAFSA, use each school's official Net Price Calculator (linked on every card), and ask Steven to help you interpret the results. The College Navigator ↗ also has official net price data for every school.

College Visit Planner
Build a day-by-day campus visit itinerary with tour registration links.
📋 Before you plan your trip
📅
Visit during the school year. Sept–Nov and Feb–Apr give you the real campus experience — dining halls, classes, student life. Summer visits are quieter and less representative.
Allow 3–4 hours per school. A typical visit includes an info session (45–60 min) and a walking tour (60–90 min). Build in travel time between schools.
🎟️
Book tours in advance. Elite schools (Ivies, MIT, Stanford) fill weeks ahead. Register as soon as your dates are confirmed — always verify on each school's site.
🗺️
Our routing is approximate. We cluster schools by region, not exact driving distance. Always verify routes in Google Maps before booking travel.
