Nerd Apply is building the data layer for education. Counselors guide some of the most important decisions students and families make, yet they’ve historically lacked access to clear, reliable outcomes data. Nerd Apply partners with counselors to responsibly aggregate real admissions results and turn them into usable insight. This shared data helps counselors advise with greater confidence, helps schools and districts understand what’s actually working, and creates a foundation for better decisions across the education system.

We’re building Nerd Apply with a high bar for trust, respect for professional judgment, and the ambition to create infrastructure education can rely on for decades.
