What does EqualApp do?

EqualApp is an affordable new online college admissions resource that provides parents and students with animated lessons, application tools, community features and support services.

Our “virtual college counselor” decreases stress, saves time and offers applicants the personalized guidance needed for an edge in the process — all for less than 10% of what the average private consultant charges for a comparable advising package.

How are they different?

Applying to college can be confusing, expensive and stressful. Support is limited and many resources – like private consultants and guidebooks – are either too expensive, not personalized enough, or both.

EqualApp’s expert-approved programs make applying to college easy (and fun). Designed for today’s connected applicant, EqualApp is a comprehensive admissions solution – at an affordable price.

Why could EqualApp be BIG?

Both the number of high school graduates continuing to college – as well as the number of applications submitted – continues to increase. Meanwhile, the average student to guidance counselor ratio in U.S. public high schools is nearly 500:1.

Students and parents are searching for support during the college admissions process – and EqualApp is a resource that can be trusted.

How they plan to make money:

EqualApp charges an annual subscription fee of $99. Applicants can also purchase additional support services – like an essay review or private phone consultation with a former admissions officer.

Our thoughts:

No thoughts at the moment. Very interesting!
