Helping Students Find the Right College — Not Just Any College

The college search process is broken. Students are overwhelmed by 6,000+ schools, misleading rankings, and expensive counselors most families can’t afford. CollegeFind exists to fix that.

We built CollegeFind to give every student — regardless of background or budget — access to the same quality of college guidance that private counselors charge thousands of dollars for. Our tools are data-driven, transparent, and designed to help you make one of the most important decisions of your life with clarity and confidence.

CollegeFind is a comprehensive college discovery and application platform that includes:

• College Search & Comparison: Search, filter, and compare schools by location, major, cost, acceptance rate, and more
• Personalized Matching: Get matched to Safety, Match, and Reach schools based on your GPA, test scores, and preferences
• Net Cost Calculator: Estimate what you’ll actually pay after financial aid — not just sticker price
• AI Essay Toolkit: Eight free tools to help you brainstorm, outline, draft, and refine your college essays
• Application Tracking: Manage deadlines, track application progress, and stay organized
• SAT Prep: Practice with real-format questions and track your improvement

Accuracy matters. CollegeFind uses data from the following trusted sources:

• U.S. Department of Education: IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System) for enrollment, graduation rates, and institutional data
• College Scorecard: Federal data on costs, earnings, and student outcomes
• College websites: Direct verification of programs, deadlines, and requirements
• NCES (National Center for Education Statistics): Comprehensive education statistics

We update our data regularly and clearly mark any figures that are estimates or approximations. For critical decisions, we always recommend verifying information directly with the college.

CollegeFind uses AI to enhance — not replace — the college search process. Our AI essay tools are designed to help you find your own voice, not write your essays for you. Every AI feature includes clear guidance on how to use the output as a starting point for your own authentic work.

We believe AI should make quality guidance more accessible, not create a shortcut that undermines the learning process. That’s why our tools focus on brainstorming, outlining, and analysis — the parts of writing where students get stuck — rather than generating finished essays.

CollegeFind is built and operated by SolidLabs LLC, a U.S.-based technology company focused on making education more accessible through practical, well-designed software. Our team combines expertise in education technology, data engineering, and user experience design.

We’re a small, focused team that believes in building tools that genuinely help people — not tools that harvest data or push students toward schools that pay for placement. CollegeFind has no pay-for-placement agreements with any college or university.

• Transparency: We show you how our data and recommendations work. No black boxes.
• Accessibility: Core features are free. Every student deserves quality college guidance.
• Accuracy: We use federal data sources and clearly label estimates and approximations.
• Privacy: We don’t sell your data. Period. See our Privacy Policy.
• Student-first: Our recommendations are based on fit, not on which schools pay us.
