College Kickstart Education App George Fan Interview

College Kickstart Education App George Fan Interview College Kickstart or http://ift.tt/1C1LKHl College Kickstart, or http://ift.tt/1C1LKHl, started after it's founder and creator George Fan, a Silicon Valley, MIT-trained engineer, was faced with the process of helping his daughter find a college. Unlike when George and I went to, as they say, "university", the act of applying to schools today can routinely cost thousands of dollars in fees. Add to that hiring a consultant (which I question, to start with) and you're looking at more spending. All of that can be upsetting. College Kickstart is a website that takes your list of desired colleges and determines if it's correct, and then helps you with the process of applying to the colleges on that list. The website says "We check to ensure your list is balanced and has the highest odds of success. Each school is categorized into Safeties, Targets, Reaches, and Unlikelies, based on its admission rate and how your academic performance compares to its entering students. Based on our findings, we offer recommendations and make it really easy to take corrective action" The College Kickstart system also identifies early application opportunities you may not be aware of. It also uses a patent-pending approach that uses admissions data from over 200 top U.S.-based institutions. The subscription fee is $50.
