EDGEMONT IS EXCITED TO PRESENT OUR NEWEST COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS TOOL.... COLLEGE KICKSTART!
WHAT IS COLLEGE KICKSTART?
College Kickstart is a powerful planning tool that helps you organize and refine your college list based on the schools you’re considering and your academic profile. Using both Edgemont specific and national admissions data from more than 750 U.S. institutions, the program helps you answer three key questions: Is my college list balanced and set up for success? How can I best capitalize on early admission opportunities? How do I minimize unnecessary work along the way? It’s simple, effective, and designed to help your college list evolve thoughtfully over time.
GETTING STARTED
Once logged in, enter the colleges currently on your mind and run College Kickstart. Don’t worry if your list isn’t final or if you don’t have test scores yet. Just give it your best guess; you can always update your information later. A help button is available at the bottom right of the screen whenever you need it.
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
Use College Kickstart for guidance, not guarantees.
The tool uses the latest admissions data and your academic credentials to inform recommendations. While these indicators are important starting points, they are not the whole story. Think of College Kickstart as a directional guide, not a crystal ball.
Your counselor remains your best resource.
College Kickstart helps you visualize and organize your plan, but your counselor is the one who can help you understand the bigger picture and how your personal qualities, extracurriculars, essays, recommendations, and special circumstances factor into your overall candidacy.
