College Capital 1.03

College Capital offers a comprehensive solution for high school students seeking in-depth college research on the go.

The college application and preparation phase is recognized as a significant source of stress and anxiety for young individuals. College Capital aims to mitigate a fraction of this pressure by facilitating the process for students from diverse backgrounds to identify and prepare for their ideal college. The app is designed to foster a greater interest in post-secondary education and support the 15 million secondary students in the United States. It encompasses data on 1007 out of the 3982 degree-granting postsecondary institutions in the U.S., providing up-to-date statistics such as acceptance rates, graduation rates, retention rates, average standardized test scores of admitted students, and ethnic demographics. Moreover, the app features direct links to the colleges’ websites and details on tuition costs, percentage of financial aid available, and Pell Grant accessibility for each institution. Additionally, users can explore the popular majors and highest-paying majors offered by each school. Recognizing the challenges of selecting a major under peer and parental influence at the young age of 17-18, we believe that this information holds paramount importance in the college decision-making process. The majors section within the app allows users to discover and delve into distinctive fields of study provided by each college, along with insights into major size and median post-graduation earnings. Our primary objective was to streamline the overwhelming online information available and offer high school students effortless access.
