For families building their college application list

Your application strategy, built right.

ED or RD? REA or EA? PCG translates each school's binding policies and admit-rate dynamics into specific recommendations grounded in your family's financial reality and your student's profile.

Step 1 of 2

Tell us about your family.

Your student's academic profile and your family's financial posture both shape what application strategies make sense — particularly around binding ED commitments.

Family income (household, before taxes) $200,000

Family financial posture

Donut-hole families face the highest stakes around ED decisions: too much income for need-based aid at most schools, but real need for the merit aid that ED forfeits. PCG will weigh this carefully in each recommendation.

Student GPA (weighted, on 4.0 scale) 3.85

SAT (or SAT-equivalent ACT) 1450

Intended major

Residency
