Step 3

See how you really compare.

The Insight! Report

Admissions odds for your own list, with the first gap to close.

Tell us about your academics, activities, context, and up to five schools. We compare your profile against more than 50,000 U.S. college admissions records.

Your report sorts each school as Reach, Target, or Safety, names the top gap, gives priority fixes and timely next moves, and includes a PDF you can keep.

One-time $39. Answer first, pay only when you generate the report.

Step 4

Pick the AP courses that fit your major.

The Resolve! Planner

Three AP picks, two backups, and questions to bring your counselor.

Answer about your major, current courses, and skill comfort. We score every College Board AP against your profile and pick the three that actually move your application forward.

Each pick comes with a major-fit note, a workload warning, and one sentence you can literally ask your counselor. If you already generated an Insight report, your major and current courses import as starting points.

One-time $19. Answer first, pay only when you generate the plan.

Fair questions, straight answers.

What we would want to know before trusting a paid admissions tool.

What is EduFinder actually built on?

EduFinder is built on specialist materials and structured admissions data: human-written SAT-style questions based on released-test patterns, acceptance-record calibration for chance bands, hand-curated college data, and intake flows designed by educators. AI helps synthesize a student's answers into the final output, but the product is the underlying data, structure, and judgment.

What am I paying for?

You are paying for the parts a generic text generator does not bring: vetted source data, educator-designed questions, calibration against real admissions outcomes, curated school and course logic, and a saved workflow that turns answers into a usable report, list, plan, board, or practice set. AI may help assemble the result, but the value is the data and structure around it.

Will this write my essay for me?

No. The Genius! Editor does not write the essay. It returns ranked angles built from your own thirty-nine intake answers, each with a central tension, an opening-scene option, and a list of moves to avoid. You write the essay. If you want a draft generator, this is not it; if you want help finding the strongest angle already in your file, it is.

What if I hate it?

Seven days, full refund, no questions. Email edufinder@waystarlearning.com from the address you used to purchase.

Who built this?

A small team of educators with US-college admissions experience, based in Seoul, plus engineers. The same people designed the question bank, the prediction model, and the editor, and tested them in real classrooms before anything shipped publicly. The "Who We Are" page has the longer version.

What happens to my answers?

Your intake answers, saved work, and reports stay in your account. We do not share them, sell them, or use them to train models. You can delete the whole account from settings at any time.
