“I think that for colleges, it would be nice to have an advanced search or something to narrow it down more (it could ask what states are you interested in, population of school, if it is a commuter school, etc). Also it would be nice to know about the diversity of the campus.”


- Emily Shafer

 “I think it would be cool to have a place on the site where you can type in the colleges that you are interested in and compare them to each other. So under each college it would say something like the cost, campus size, and basic important information that will determine if you would like to go there or not.” 


- Aleksia Haugen

I think an advice-ish blog kind of thing that would be easily accessible would help a lot. Like a drop down menu full of college advice, that goes in depth from how you should write your essays, how to write about extracurriculars, volunteer, sports, etc. would help.


- Christine Uy

“Features helping students to get more information about their essays or a way to manage their essays could be added as it is one of the biggest pain points and can get quite stressful.”


- Jahnavi Karnani

“I would want something that provides information on the acceptance rate and amount of undergraduate students at my saved colleges. If it could provide information on need and merit-based scholarships, I think that would be helpful as well.”


- Anshi Arora

“I think there needs to be more informational pages for the website. For every task mentioned, there should be at least a page/video explaining how to manage it and improve it.”

Comet is the result of a brand that values: EQUITY, ACCESS, COLLABORATION, EMPATHY, and IMAGINATION. Our unique process of building Comet is equally if not more important than the end product. And we’re pretty proud of both.
