Inspiration

Drawing from our own experiences as two international students, we saw the first hand the information asymmetry in college discovery and college selection and hence sought to do something about it.

What it does

It is a single unified platform for college discovery and application management. It prompts the user to enter the desired college name and displays information regarding the college, eg , the total number of students currently enrolled.

How we built it

We used ReactJs, NodeJs and Puppeteer in our tech stack, and pulled the data from https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/data/documentation/

Challenges we ran into

Processing the data appropriately to make it available in a human understandable format

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Ideation. Iteration. Learning a new framework and a new language in 18 hours.

What we learned

New language( Javascript), new frameworks that utilize JavaScript and how the web actually functions.
