We Hate the College Admission Process.

That's why we're building Admission Hacks. We want to make the college admissions process easier for everyone.

Admission Hacks is the result of a collaboration between a parent with kids just going through the college search process and a pair of AI engineers who had met at Google. The goal is to create a community of parents and students who can help each other through the admissions process, along with a set of tools that can bring together all the best data and advice in one place.

The founder of Admission Hacks have been involved in building many companies, including AngelList, where he was CEO.

Finding the right college is one of the most important and one of the most difficult decisions you will ever make. It's also one of the most expensive. The average cost of a college education is $100,000.

We want to make this decision as easy as possible for you and your family. We have data on every college in the US, and we are building tools to help you make the right decision.
