The premise
AI can draft college-list fit memos that organize academic, financial, social, and outcomes data into a comparable format for family conversations.
What AI does well here
- Aggregate academic, financial, and outcomes data across a candidate list.
- Surface fit gaps by category (reach/match/safety, financial reach/match/safety).
What AI cannot do
- Predict admissions outcomes at any individual school.
- Replace the campus visit that reveals the school is or isn't 'home.'
