Build a college list that is actually balanced
Most lists are eight reaches and a safety nobody wants to attend. See where each school really sits for your profile, before you spend a fall writing supplements.
Reach, target, safety, based on your profile
Every school on your list is classified against your actual stats and against students who applied there, not against a published average.
The balance of your list is visible at a glance.
Spot the gap before it costs you a cycle
A list with no genuine targets is the most common expensive mistake in admissions.
The list tells you plainly when yours is top heavy.
Everything about a school, in the list
Deadlines, required essays, cost and what the school weighs most, attached to each entry.
Adding a school to your list also adds it to your tracker.
US and UK on one list
Compare American and British universities side by side on one ranking scale.
Keep both on a single list instead of juggling two processes.
Frequently asked questions
Is the college list builder free?
Yes, building and managing your list is free with an account.
How do you decide if a school is a reach or a target?
We compare your profile against real students who applied to that school and were admitted or rejected, rather than against a published average.
How many schools should be on my list?
Most students land between 8 and 12, with genuine targets and at least one safety you would actually attend. The right number depends on your profile.
What counts as a safety?
A school where your profile is comfortably above the typical admit and the cost works for you. A school you would not attend is not a safety.
Can I add UK universities?
Yes. UK universities can go on your list alongside US schools, sorted on one global ranking scale.
Does my list connect to anything else?
Yes. Schools you add flow into your application tracker with their deadlines and required essays.
