New SAT Conversion Tool

Resident and Non-Resident Admission Rates
While few schools report admission rates by residency, we've identified 20-25 institutions in our coverage universe that do. Within that pool, we've found a handful of cases—UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Santa Cruz, UNC Chapel Hill and the University of Virginia—where the rate differences are pronounced enough to impact how College Kickstart categorizes the school as part of the list check. This release adds resident and non-resident options for these institutions. Learn more
Updated Affordability Panel
We've updated the affordability panel for greater readability and now display graduation rates to better reflect how our financial aid rankings are calculated.
Expanded School Coverage
We continue to add schools to our coverage universe, which now is in excess of 350. Since our last release in April, we've added 22 schools, including: Abilene Christian, Drake, Drew, Hofstra, Linfield, Manhattan College, Marymount Manhattan, Pace, Rollins, Sacred Heart, Simmons, SUNY Albany, SUNY Buffalo, SUNY Potsdam, Towson, University of Arkansas, UNC Greensboro, UNC Pembroke, University of Portland, University of Scranton, and UT Dallas.
