The Shortlist! Builder

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.

Curated, not scraped. The list of 417 US colleges is built and maintained by the same educators who write the rest of the product, weighted toward schools that admit a real range of applicants and now spanning large public universities and more accessible state schools alongside selective private colleges, so students see real reach, target, and safety options. Each school carries current facts from the US Department of Education College Scorecard, including acceptance rate, average net price, SAT and ACT ranges, graduation and retention rates, and median earnings and debt. Your answers about cost and life after college now shape the ranking too, so the Shortlist leans toward schools with a lower net price and stronger graduate outcomes, not fit alone.

Yes. You can open a full sample Shortlist (five real US colleges matched to a real applicant, each with its own fit paragraph) before you answer a single question or sign in. Sign in to reveal your own five matches.

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.

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.
