Edmit’s new student loan calculator
By allowing users to combine all of the types of loans available such as federal and private loans as well as showing the federal loans one would be eligible for based on the personalized information provided to Edmit and the amount of private loans that will likely be needed to fill the gap, Edmit’s new student loan calculator is a powerful tool for students and their families to leverage when deciding which schools best fit all of the criteria that are most important to their college decision-making process.
Edmit’s new college list builder/grader
Edmit’s new list builder allows users to search along multiple college dimensions and provide personal recommendations about how to make college more affordable and what additional colleges someone should consider because they would be high value. Edmit gives schools a financial fit grade of A, B or C – by categorizing a school using this method Edmit’s subscribers gain a clear understanding of how reasonable the size of the loans they will have to take out are (such $75K vs. $10K in loans) as well as the ROI (return on investment) or value that the school offers.
The value is determine by looking at the earnings/salary that students who have recently graduated from a specific school are currently making in the workforce. By using Edmit’s college list builder subscribers can compare their top 5 schools. Edmit recommends including a balanced mix of affordable schools as well as “reach” schools. This method helps to determine which schools are a better ROI than others – which translates to being both affordable and good value.
