A ranking is not a fit.
Rankings funnel everyone toward the same dozen schools, and scattergrams read your odds off US-only, self-reported data that misses most applicants (Niche's UCLA sample sits at 30K for a school that gets 110K+ a year) and never splits by major. Two studies found scattergrams quietly steered high-scorers to apply to fewer top schools, not more.
Three steps. One short list.
Answer twenty questions.

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.
How are the 221 schools chosen?
Hand-curated, not scraped. The list is built and updated by the same educators who write the rest of the product, weighted toward US colleges that admit a real range of applicants, including US citizens, permanent residents, international students, and students from less standard school paths. Schools with too little evidence across applicant backgrounds are excluded on purpose.

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.
One survey. One short list.
