The Pond - AI college prep

"I am worried about getting into college!"

This is something almost all college-bound students and their parents are worried about. The Pond helps you solve the mystery of college admissions, systematically. That way you always know what to do, when you have to do it and how to do it.

“It’s easy to get started, whatever grade you are in”

Get started by using our college planner to find a college that has everything you want. Go beyond the headlines and get in-depth information on the pros and cons of each college.
Then create your own roadmap for your curriculums and easily schedule recommended extracurriculars and awards.

“I think it might be too late to start planning for college!”

It is never too late to start planning for college. Our college recommender will suggest a list of appropriate colleges based on your chances of getting in, “college fit” and your intended major.
From there, use our Resume function, which is modeled after the Coalition and Common app and easily transferable to others like Questbridge.

“How does it work and how can I trust The Pond for my college app?”

The Pond is about student empowerment. There is no one who is better to be in charge of your future, than you. The Pond provides the tools, the knowledge, the support, and the information for you to take control of your future using data from successful applications, private and public data partnerships. We combine more than a million points of data to inform our data suggestions, our curriculum builder, and our extracurricular and award recommendations.

The Pond provides students with affordable tools to help them get into their dream college. Using data from over 10,000 successful and unsuccessful college applications, The Pond app lets students know what works in terms of curriculums, awards, competitions, extracurriculars and more.

The Pond app provides students with a range of tools to overcome many of the headaches they normally face.

For time management, we have an automatic scheduler that builds easy to manage schedules and also recommends extracurriculars along with scheduling for the SATs, ACTs, PSATS, APs and other tests.

For curriculum planning and what is necessary for specific majors, we have our academic roadmap, where students can also see recent successful and unsuccessful applications made by other students.

To help students narrow down their college search, our algorithm considers academic status along with multiple college fit factors to quickly narrow down to a list of 7 options.

For help with courses, The Pond also offers 11 different courses including 7 common AP courses with detailed notes in a comprehensive multimedia format to make learning easy and fast.

Whenever students encounter questions or difficulties, they can always consult our forums for quick help from their peers and professional counselors.
