About Raddym

Our vision: helping students make better life-changing decisions through trusted data.

Applying to universities in the U.S. is overwhelming — rankings, acceptance rates, scholarships, and costs are scattered across the web and hard to compare. Raddym pulls the numbers that matter into one place, ranks the schools it covers against your profile, and explains the reasoning behind each match: the pros, the cons, and the risk level.

We're built for high school students preparing to apply and for college students considering a transfer.

This is Raddym V2, the second version of the product. We currently cover 50 universities in depth, and every admissions, cost, and aid figure behind a match is taken from official sources — each school's Common Data Set, admissions office, and financial aid pages, cross-checked across at least two of them. Matches come from a transparent, rule-based system built on those published figures. More universities are being added.

About the numbers

Universities publish different things. Some report an average GPA, others report class rank instead; some break out every test section, others only a composite. Where a school leaves something out, we work from what it does publish and weigh that school on the evidence available. Sometimes that means working a comparison bar out of another figure the same school publishes — your match says so when it does, and a worked-out value is never shown as the school's own number.

Published figures also describe a past admissions cycle and can change without notice. Tuition, aid policies, testing requirements and program offerings are set by each university at its own discretion and can be updated at any time.
