Have you ever wondered how to compare the completions data from one college to another college? The data is in the government's College Navigator app - but only for one college at a time. The 2024 College Viability Program Completion App (private college version) takes programs and majors completion data and makes it easy to customize comparisons for almost 1,300 private colleges. The app lists completions from 2020-2022 for bachelors and masters degrees across 16 programs. Users can even drill down on single colleges to view program completion data. In this first ever preview of the app, I show program-level completion data for Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, and Missouri. The program completion comparisons are for biology, business, education, health professions, and social sciences. The final, private college version of this app is scheduled for release later this Spring. https://lnkd.in/dWNmrMqW #collegemajors #collegecompletion #collegeviability #collegeviabilityapp #garystocker #collegeclosures #willmycollegeclose

Master the Common App with our guide: Common Application 101! Learn key tips for a smooth college application process.

The Common App is open, and I've got some resources to help you through it. 1. Take your time--read all the questions and prompts thoroughly so you don't miss any details. 2. Some schools are still updating their sections of the Common App, including supplemental essay questions and application due dates. Be patient. No school needs your application RIGHT. NOW. 3. If you're really stuck with navigating the Common App, try the AXS Companion, which is a step-by-step guide for every section of the Common App. It's amazing, trust me. https://lnkd.in/eAMPQTCq 4. Finally, you don't have to go it alone! Ask for help from your school counselor or hire an independent counselor (like yours truly) to be with you every step of the way. Happy application season - you've got this!

Every year, the Common Application refreshes on August 1st, marking the official start of a new application cycle. But here’s a valuable tip: students don’t need to wait until then to create their Common App account. In fact, it’s beneficial to set up the account now if they haven't already. Students can begin by completing the “common” sections of the Common App—the Profile, Family, Education, and Testing sections. These sections will be saved and automatically populated when they log into their refreshed account on August 1st. It’s a straightforward and efficient way to get a head start. A key point to remember is that the account might be temporarily unavailable at the end of July. This downtime occurs annually to allow for updates to the Common Application and the addition of new college supplements. Students should start working on their Common App account today! By applying wisely, building confidence, and getting it right, I help students on their journey to college admission success.

College Viability is releasing a new app in August 2024. It is the Program Completion App and there will be versions for both public and private colleges. The app will compare the number of students who completed program in 16 common IPEDS programs. The data years are 2020-2022. College leaders, faculty, community leaders, and other interested college stakeholders can use the app to compare their program number strengths and weaknesses to their competitors. Students and families can use the app to determine if colleges they are considering have strong numbers in programs they are considering - or not. The app will be released in August 2024. Keep an eye out in College Viability's website and social media postings. https://lnkd.in/gM_-nzNN #collegeviability #collegeadmissions #choosingamajor #willmycollegeclose #collegeclosures

Deadline coming up for highschoolers! There is a potential spot for you on the Common App Student Advisory Committee. Applications are open and the deadline to submit is March 1st. Why consider it? Building a resume for college is important for selective schools. Sometimes the experience even becomes part of one's college application essay. That said, those aren't the only reasons for trying out for positions. The experience itself goes a long, long way in building self confidence, critical thinking skills and even emotional intelligence.
