Students Like You: Outcomes Simulator
Set your profile once, then add schools to see what students like you have actually experienced — real net price for your income, admission odds, earnings, debt, and a 20-year picture. Fused from federal cost, admissions, and mobility data across 1,679 colleges.
Your Profile
Set your profile above, then add one or more colleges to see what students like you have typically experienced at each.
Descriptive, not predictive: each figure summarizes students who attended historically, from federal data, and reflects who enrolls — not only the school. Net price and ROI use the net price for your income band. Earnings are school-wide medians (field-of-study where federal data exists). All dollar figures are expressed in today's dollars (CPI-adjusted, so older federal earnings compare cleanly with current cost). See the methodology.
How to Read This
An Honest Outcomes Model
-
Net Price Is the Honest Number
Because we use net price for your income band, two students at the same school can see very different real costs. That gap is the single most useful thing this tool surfaces.
-
These Are Patterns, Not Promises
Every figure describes students who attended historically — it is not a prediction of what college will cause for you. Outcomes reflect who enrolls, not just the school.
-
Earnings Are School-Wide Medians
A median means half of graduates earn more and half earn less. Where federal field-of-study data exists for your major, we show it too — but most majors only have a school-wide figure.
-
Low Income? Look at Mobility
If you are from a lower-income family, the mobility readout shows how often students who started where you did reached the top income quintile — a signal cost and earnings alone miss.
