The Problem

High caseloads make individualized follow-through difficult.

Counselors may support large numbers of students while also managing academic, social-emotional, and administrative responsibilities. College research, scholarship information, and deadlines can become scattered across spreadsheets, portals, emails, and handouts.

  • Reliable college and university information students can use independently
  • Scholarship and deadline resources organized in the same planning experience
  • A future counselor portal for student tracking, resources, and reporting
  • A structured way to gather feedback and improve school-based college planning

Consistency Use a common planning framework across students.
Visibility Future tools can help identify where additional support is needed.
Evidence Future reporting can support school, district, and program evaluation.

Pilot Interest

Bring your counseling perspective into product development.

College Deadline is recruiting pilot schools and education partners to provide feedback on student workflows and planned counselor tools. Pilot scope and terms will be confirmed with selected partners.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about the student platform, future counselor tools, and pilot participation.

What counselor tools are planned?

The manual identifies future student tracking, a resource library, reporting, and college-planning tools for a counselor portal.

Are counselor dashboards part of the first MVP?

No. The current roadmap places counselor and school-administrator dashboards after the initial student planning foundation.

What can students use first?

The MVP plan includes accounts, searchable college profiles, comparisons, saved colleges, deadlines, scholarships, a dashboard, and planning resources.

How will College Deadline handle data quality?

The business manual calls for documented sources, access dates, quality review, and regular updates for institutional, scholarship, admissions, cost, and outcome information.

Can schools pilot College Deadline?

Yes, pilot-school partnerships are part of the company strategy. Specific pilot responsibilities, data access, pricing, and timelines should be documented in the pilot agreement.

Does College Deadline replace our SIS or application systems?

No. The platform is focused on college discovery, comparison, planning, scholarships, deadlines, and related school-facing support rather than replacing core school information systems.
