The recommendation engine we wish we had when we were applying.
Every year, over 1 million students apply to American colleges from the United States and abroad, with millions more hoping for the chance to apply. Most prospective applicants are in need of guidance from admissions experts, but fail to attain quality guidance for a variety of reasons. The average U.S. high school counselor has a student caseload of over 470 students. Students receive an average of 38 minutes of 1-on-1 counselor time spread out over 4 years of high school. The college counseling component at many high schools becomes a secondary priority. For most students, hiring a private consultant to supplement overworked and under-resourced school counselors is out of the question, with average fees of $4,035 in the U.S. and $10,000+ in international markets.
Beacon’s patented technology combines the insight of industry experts, interactive and in-depth admissions data, and individually tailored information to provide students and their counselors with an objective data-driven yet personalized navigational tool to combat these limitations. (Read more about the system under Our Algorithm.)
Our goal is to provide students, counselors, and institutes with more access, more transparency, and more optionality.
Our innovative technology platform leverages the quantitive and qualitative data of hundreds of thousands of students standardized across various admissions assessment criteria to deliver personalized recommendations that can serve as the baseline for college counseling or help to supplement the guidance of counselors. From college selection to pinpointing areas for improvement of each student, our system empowers each student to make the best, most informed decision for him or herself when it comes to college.
With Beacon, you too can utilize big data and “AI” (admissions intelligence) as part of your college application approach.
