“In a just society, an education isn’t a luxury item.” -- Caitlin Flanagan
Why do we have to make college counseling accessible to every high schooler?
60% of students from high-income families go on to complete their degree. Only 16% of students from low-income families do so.
College graduates increase their lifetime earnings by $1 million, increase employment stability by 50%, and gain social capital from attending college.
If we care about social mobility in the U.S. we have to find a way to make planning for higher education easier for all.
Our mission is to increase the graduation rate by preparing students for higher education through mobile technology.
Undecided helps students make informed decisions about college. Guided journaling and goal-setting exercises are used alongside 1 on 1 chats with professional advisors.
The app guides students to find best-fit schools, apply for financial aid, and prepare for college so they can successfully transition into their future lives.
We are opening up the type of customized guidance traditionally accessible only to privileged students. We’re building Undecided to serve as an accessible college advisor for every student in America.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” -- Nelson Mandela
By decentralizing college counseling through mobile-technology and artificial intelligence, by providing every high schooler with a college advisor, we’re building Undecided to make education a right instead of a privilege.
