Company Summary

ApplyMap builds data-driven college admissions road maps for high school students. Users enter their grades, test scores, and school preferences, and our algorithm returns the best mix of schools for them to apply to--including dream, reach, match, and safety schools. Our technology alleviates a pain point generated by two trends: students must apply to more schools than before, but they're getting less professional applications advice than ever.
