Taylor · Discover

A bigger school, I think? Biology. Maybe medicine, maybe law. I swim, but I don't know if that's a college thing. Cost has to make sense.

Hidden fit

Same list. Not a live family account. Complete is the family plan. Included with Complete · $29 Founding Family Price.

Who is looking?

Student, parent, or not sure. Pathwise is a family college plan. Pick a path. The other person can join later.

Discover surprise

The school the kitchen table skips

Taylor already had A&M, Alabama, and UT. Discover still names a hidden fit, then stops at three. Not another search list.

Why we picked this

Trinity has sourced programs that line up with what you named.

Why you might not like it

You said you might want a bigger school. Trinity has 2,505 undergraduates. That can feel small if you want a stadium crowd.

Your college plan, on call

Ask the questions that come up at 10:47 PM.

College applications create hundreds of little questions. Your paid plan already knows your student, their matches, their application plans, and the important dates, so you don't have to start every question from scratch.

How it works

You, then life, then schools, then a plan

  1. 01

    You

    A student, a parent, or both. Either of you can start. The other can join.

  2. 02

    Life

    What they are imagining: work, place, vibe, and money. Not GPA first.

  3. 03

    Schools

    Three deep matches. Then we stop. A school the kitchen table skipped.

  4. 04

    Plan

    Complete maps the week. Student work and parent work stay split.

Where you meet

A family plan. Either of you can start.

The other can join. Shared list. Parent view. Student owns applications. Parent owns aid and dates.

  • Shared school list

    Saved schools sit in one place. The student owns the list. A parent can leave a note.

  • Who owns what

    Student owns applications and essays. Parent owns aid forms and the calendar.

  • Weekly status

    On track or needs attention. You see the next step. You do not have to nag.

  • Complete Ask and Do

    Ask about the plan at 10:47 PM. Do can move a task. Matching stays free.

Trust

You can see why we picked a school

How recs work

Hard constraints exclude. Soft preferences score. A Match Score is weighted fit, not odds, and not for sale to a university.

Where the numbers come from

College Scorecard and official sites, with retrieval dates. Empty is better than fabricated. Costs stay Estimated.

Humans still decide

The student owns the list. A parent may leave a note. We are not a $11,000 counselor and not a ranking shop.

Questions families actually ask

What is a hidden-fit college?
A school you were not already considering that still fits how you want to live and learn. Not a secret ranking. The north-star metric is whether your top three includes one you now want to investigate.
What does Discover cost?
Nothing. The life question, search, and three deep matches are free. No card. Complete is a $29 Founding Family Price application-season pass, not unlimited search as the product.
What is a Match Score not?
It is not your chance of getting in. It is not for sale to colleges. It is a weighted fit. Admission stays Likely / Possible / Reach / High Reach / Insufficient data.
Is estimated college cost the same as the bill in Texas?
No. Sticker tuition and Scorecard average net price are both estimates. Your award letter is the bill. Run the official net-price calculator.
Can a college buy a better Match Score?
We do not sell student PII. Institutions may never purchase a Match Score.
Is Pathwise for the student or the parent?
Both. Either of you can start. The other can join. Students own the list and applications. Parents own aid and dates. Complete is peace of mind, not unlimited matching.
