Questions families actually ask
- What is a hidden-fit college?
- A school you were not already considering that still fits how you want to live and learn. Not a secret ranking. The north-star metric is whether your top three includes one you now want to investigate.
- What does Discover cost?
- Nothing. The life question, search, and three deep matches are free. No card. Complete is a $29 Founding Family Price application-season pass, not unlimited search as the product.
- What is a Match Score not?
- It is not your chance of getting in. It is not for sale to colleges. It is a weighted fit. Admission stays Likely / Possible / Reach / High Reach / Insufficient data.
- Is estimated college cost the same as the bill in Texas?
- No. Sticker tuition and Scorecard average net price are both estimates. Your award letter is the bill. Run the official net-price calculator.
- Can a college buy a better Match Score?
- We do not sell student PII. Institutions may never purchase a Match Score.
- Is Pathwise for the student or the parent?
- Both. Either of you can start. The other can join. Students own the list and applications. Parents own aid and dates. Complete is peace of mind, not unlimited matching.
