CollegeData 1.10.0

The CollegeData mobile application offers an extensive suite of tools and resources designed to facilitate the college search and application process. Users can access detailed profiles on over 2,000 colleges, compare institutions based on various criteria, assess their admission prospects, and obtain guidance on preparation, application procedures, and financial planning. Additionally, the app provides critical deadlines for applications and standardized testing, as well as access to an extensive scholarship database totaling over $5 billion in awards.

The app’s College Search feature allows users to evaluate and compare colleges by name or personal preferences such as location, size, cost, acceptance rate, majors offered, selectivity, tuition fees, financial aid offerings, campus culture, graduation and retention rates, GPAs, and test scores of recent enrollees. It also supports searches based on financial considerations like the percentage of financial need met, average student debt, and availability of merit-based aid.

Developing a tailored College List is an essential step in the application process. The app assists in selecting schools that align with your academic qualifications and personal aspirations, including reach, target, and safety options. The College Chances tool is particularly valuable; it estimates your likelihood of admission at each institution by comparing your academic credentials and test scores against recent enrollees’ data. This feature also provides insights into actions you can take to improve your chances of acceptance.

Financial considerations can be daunting; however, the Scholarship Finder within the app enables students to explore thousands of awards from private organizations, foundations, corporations, government agencies, and institutions themselves. These scholarships often target specific academic interests or personal characteristics matching your profile, making college financing more attainable.

The app allows users to customize a personal Dashboard to track application deadlines, academic credentials, test scores, and to build a comprehensive college resume—streamlining organization throughout the application journey.

Supported by 1st Financial Bank USA for nearly 25 years, CollegeData aims to empower students and families with information needed for informed college decisions. Beyond college preparation advice, the platform encourages responsible financial management as students begin exploring financial independence.
