Dakota helps you build a college list where you’ll thrive—and research colleges in depth to support your supplemental essay questions.
The Thrive Report
The Thrive Report is a deep look at what you really want from college, not just your GPA and test scores. It helps you compare colleges based on where you are most likely to thrive.
Dakota talks to you about things like:
- What you might want to study.
- Whether you want intense or more collaborative academics.
- Big school or small school.
- City, college town or somewhere in between.
- Athletics and campus life.
- Internships, careers and what happens after college.
- Location and even weather.
Your Thrive Report changes with you. If you suddenly decide entrepreneurship matters more than the weather, tell Dakota. Your matches update.
