Find Your Colleges, Then Plan Every Year.

EduFinder is built on specialist materials and structured admissions data: SAT-style questions that people and EduFinder's AI write and check together from 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.

No. It is years of admissions judgment turned into steps, on a map of real college data. The AI is the engine and writes it up; educators did the thinking. It is what we would tell you in person, available at midnight.

No. Roster Essays does not write the essay. Its idea library returns ranked angles built from your own thirty-nine answers, and Draft feedback quotes only sentences you wrote, describes fixes, and asks questions. It never writes or rewrites a word of the essay for you. In your own conversations, Leonardo, EduFinder's AI, holds the same line: it may quote your sentences back and describe a change in words, but it will not draft, complete, or polish a sentence of your essay, not even a phrase.

Yes. Every service has a full sample you can open before you sign in, with no account and no membership. Find Schools, Resolve, Pursuit, Roster, and Aid each provide a realistic sample, and the unified Roster sample includes Profile & Chances, College List, and Essays. Exam practice lives in the Test Bank, where The SAT! Series has a three-question demo that needs no account.

Yes, and without retyping anything. Your application profile is entered once on The Roster! Board and read everywhere: Find Schools turns about twenty questions into matches that land straight on your college list, The Resolve! Planner starts its course plan from your grade, major, and current courses, The Pursuit! Atlas can send a finished plan's story into the board's essay Idea Library, and The Aid! Playbook reads your college list to map which aid forms each school wants. Your dashboard reads progress across all four and names your next move, so you never have to guess which service to open. Each one now also remembers its own last answer: draft feedback compares a new draft with the one you submitted before it, a course plan or an aid playbook updates from only what changed, the atlas takes the milestones you check off, and Leonardo, EduFinder's AI, reads all four and, when you talk with it in private, writes notes about you in a notebook you own.

Leonardo is EduFinder's AI. It is a companion on every page of your account except during a practice test, and when you ask it something, it reads only what your account already shows you: your profile, your college list, your essays' status and any draft you deliberately submitted for feedback, the angles in your Idea Library, your chance reads, your course plan, your atlas, your playbook and how far your aid walkthroughs have come, your practice-test count and latest score, how many people are connected to your account and how many messages are waiting for you, and the notebook it keeps with you. When you talk with it in private, it writes notes about you in that notebook on its own, each dated and marked as Leonardo's, and you can edit or delete any line. It answers in plain words, explains why a plan recommended what it did, and teaches through your own list and numbers. Anything it suggests doing, refreshing a chance read, refreshing the opportunities in your atlas, checking off a milestone, marking an essay's status, pinning an angle to an essay, saving a note, arrives as a card that does nothing until you approve it, and no card can email anybody. In your own conversations it never writes a line of your essay, never says a chance is good or bad, never names a dollar figure, and never sees your Team room; in a room, Leonardo reads only what is posted there, and a line of your notebook only if you post it there yourself. A parent's, a teacher's, or a counselor's own Leonardo never sees your conversations with it or your notebook.

Yes, in a notebook you own. What Leonardo, EduFinder's AI, writes down about you from your private conversations goes into that notebook, where you can read, edit, or delete any line, and some things, like your health or your family's money, it never writes down at all. Every plan, atlas, playbook, and chance read says what grade it was made in and tells you plainly when it predates the current school year. Once a school year, if the grade on your profile looks out of date, your check-in asks whether you have moved up a grade and changes nothing until you say yes. Every Monday that something moved, Your Weekly Digest sums up the week and carries one question worth thinking about.

EduFinder was founded by Jiin Baek (Ryan), who has tutored SAT, AP, and IB students since 2016 and advised families on US admissions since 2019, and is built with a small group of contract educators and engineers. Between them, the team has spent years teaching high school students at US boarding schools, UK public schools, and Korean international schools, and the tools were tested in real classrooms before anything shipped publicly. EduFinder is made by Waystar Learning, Inc., a Delaware corporation built in Seoul. The Who We Are page has the longer version.

Every FAFSA and CSS Profile date on our public pages is typed once, in one list that names the official record each date was read from and the day we last read it. The Who We Are page shows that whole list, and every playbook reads the same list. For example, the federal FAFSA deadline for 2027-28 is June 30, 2028. A date that has not been published yet says so rather than being guessed, and our tests fail when an aid form date is typed by hand into any other public page, when a date for a year whose federal deadline is still ahead goes more than 400 days without a fresh check, when the site moves on to a new award year before that year is on the list, when a guided walkthrough still describes the year before more than 45 days after the new form opens, or when a Learning guide goes more than 400 days without its facts being checked. Each college sets its own aid deadlines, so read those on the college's own financial aid page. When we get something wrong, we correct it and date the correction on the Who We Are page, and you can report a mistake to edufinder@waystarlearning.com.

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.

Yes. Your plans, college lists, reports, and feedback are yours to keep, print, and share with anyone you choose, from your family to your teachers, counselors, and tutors. Our Terms of Service say so in plain words under What You Make Is Yours.

Only if you invite them or accept an invite they send you; nothing is shared until you say yes. A confirmed link shows them names, dates, statuses, scores, and counts: your practice-test scores, the schools and deadlines on your lists, and how many essays sit at each stage. Never an essay word, a test answer, a note, or a chance report. You can stop sharing at any time, and the family panel costs a parent nothing; a parent who wants to run the services first-hand does it on an account of their own, where the first run of every tool is on us and a membership of their own runs them after that. Your conversations with Leonardo, EduFinder's AI, and your notebook are not on the family panel at all, and a parent's own Leonardo never sees them; a note from your notebook reaches a parent only if you post it into your own Team room yourself.

Private admissions consulting in the US costs $4,000 to $7,500 for most comprehensive packages and a mean of $230 an hour, by IECA's 2022 survey of its members. EduFinder's four services cover the same ground, from the first search for schools to the final aid form: the first run of each is on us, and one Pro Membership at $39 per month (USD), one price and the same price for a student, a parent, a teacher, or a counselor, runs them as often as you need. We are not a person across a desk; we are the version of that guidance a family can use without watching a meter.

On the dimension that decides it, yes. A consultant sees a student for about an hour a week and works from what gets said in that hour. EduFinder's services read your actual record: the course plan argues from your transcript, chance reads from your GPA, rigor, and scores, and essay feedback quotes only sentences you wrote. When something changes, you update the plan the same evening, as often as you need on the Pro Membership, and an invited parent follows along by your consent from a family panel that costs them nothing.
