A balanced college list is the key to success 

College Kickstart kicks in after students have their initial college lists. It bridges the gap between "colleges I'm thinking about" and "colleges I'm applying to” and streamlines the process for both students and counselors.

With the latest available data and personalized insight, every college plan stays grounded in reality and optimized for best outcomes.
